Avrupa is a daily newspaper published in Northern Cyprus. Its chief editor is Şener Levent. It supports the reunification of Cyprus and espouses left-wing values, being characterised in scholarship as radical left.
== History == === Avrupa and the presidency of Denktaş === The newspaper was first published on 17 September 1997 using the name Avrupa ("Europe" in Turkish). It opposed the policies of Rauf Denktaş, President of Northern Cyprus at the time, as well as the role Turkey played at the Cyprus problem. This resulted in the newspaper in over 100 lawsuits against the newspaper and attempts to close it down by confiscation of its property.
