ISTANBUL – The state-owned Television and Radio Corporation, or TRT,
has launched Armenian and Kurdish channels, the latest move in a series
of planned foreign language broadcasting mediums being launched by
the state.
Kurdish radio programs began April 1, while Armenian radio programming
began yesterday.
Radyo 6 will air in Kurdish 24 hours a day, TRT said in a written
statement.
Armenian programs will be broadcast everyday between 7-7.30 a.m. and
6-6.30 p.m. as part of "The Voice of Turkey" radio, the statement
added.
The move comes as Ankara and Yerevan continue to engage in a
normalization process between the two neighbors that for decades have
had no diplomatic relations.
