ANKARA - Radio stations in Armenian and Kurdish languages on the
state-owned Turkish Radio and Television Corporation, or TRT, network
will start broadcasting within two or three months, the Anatolia news
agency reported over the weekend.
In addition to radio stations, TRT will also launch television
broadcasts in different languages. TRT first aims to start its Arabic
broadcast with Middle East countries as the target audience. TRT
is also working on a Persian TV station, which is expected to start
broadcasting next year.
In cooperation with local TV channels, TRT will broadcast news in
English over TRT Anadolu. The broadcast of the news channel will be
launched next year. Tarım TV (Agriculture TV), which will mostly
broadcast programs about agriculture and stockbreeding, is also among
TRT's projects.
TRT's new TV station, TRT Avaz, started to broadcast in 27 countries
in the Balkans, Caucasus and Central Asia late Saturday. "TRT Avaz
will enable our communication in the region," said President Abdullah
Gul, who attended the premiere. TRT Avaz aims to increase Turkey's
recognition and efficiency in the region and cooperation in the Turkish
world. During the premiere, Turkish pop star Tarkan and artists from
Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan gave concerts.
