influence

With Yeni Şafak , Selvi made a name for himself with his knowledge of the Justice and Recovery Party (AKP) and the environment of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan . As such, Selvi is often quoted in foreign media. According to the world , he acts “more than anyone else as a mouthpiece for the government”, the Tagesspiegel certifies that he has “excellent contacts in the Turkish leadership”, and Die Zeit calls him “close to the government”. With his insider knowledge from government circles, he is often quoted by Turkish media critical of the government.

In April 2016, Selvi created a topic of conversation when he moved to Hürriyet in Turkey. Media critical of the government saw this transfer as a further sign that the Hürriyet publisher Aydın Doğan wanted to get closer to the government, while the aggressive AKP-affiliated daily Star and the Islamist Yeni Akit Selvi accused of having “sold” themselves.

Since joining Hürriyet , some of Selvis' columns have also appeared in English translation in the Hürriyet Daily News .
