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 Gül, 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.
