TL;DR Summary

Turkey's main opposition candidate, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, has accused Russia of interfering in the country's ongoing presidential election campaign. Kilicdaroglu, who is the head of the Republican People's Party (CHP) and incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main rival, addressed Russia in a tweet, saying "we are still in favor of cooperation and friendship." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the accusation in a Friday briefing, calling those who spread such rumors "liars." Polls suggest a tight race between Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu, but give Kilicdaroglu a slight lead.
