BAKU -- The Iranian Embassy in Baku says Tehran has nothing to do
with a new radio station broadcasting in the Talysh language from
Azerbaijan's breakaway territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. The denial was
issued on March 28.
The Voice of Talyshistan began broadcasting March 20 from the
territory, which is mostly populated by ethnic Armenians.
Armenian media reported last week that the radio's mission is to
protect rights of the Talysh minority in Azerbaijan.
The Talysh live mostly in Azerbaijan and Iran and speak a Persian
dialect.
