It doesn't help that "Akrides" sound like a Bond villain EvilCorp run by Dr Ambergris whose face is horribly disfigured from a series botched face lifts that's plotting to populate Mars with big boobed clones running around dressed only in brassieres, just like his lead concubine, Dorothy "Dirty" Sanchez (Don't blame me for Kam Fleming's knack for double entendres...) who leads his team of equally big boobed secret helicopter pilotresses.

This is, of course, ridiculous, and Dr. Ambergris is just an amalagam of Muammar al-Gaddafi and some 2nd rate wannabe strongmen not worth mentioning that I made up for fun.

Not the connotations I would aim for, but after looking at the organisations involved it's probably apt.
