Taha Akyol is a Turkish journalist and writer of Abkhazian descent.
Akyol worked as a journalist at the Yankı news magazine, and the Tercüman, Meydan and Milliyet dailies.
While being a true classical liberal, both in political and economic terms, he takes a rightist-conservative approach to culture and foreign policy.
Akyol is a member of the Board of Trustees at TOBB University of Economics and Technology.
He is a producer at CNN Türk and was a columnist for the Hürriyet daily until its new, Erdogan-allied owners fired him in September 2018.
