ARMENIAN PROGRAMS ON TURKISH TV By H. Chaqrian The public television of Turkey is planning to broadcast programs in 8 languages this year. Minister Mehmed Aydin, commenting on the initiative, said that in general the multilingual programs shall cover the information sphere. He said that it is also possible that the Public Television of Turkey shall broadcast programs in Armenian. According to information spread by CNN-Turk, the programs in Armenian language shall be mostly addressed to the Armenian diaspora, so as to make them understand the Turkish position on the Genocide easier. In other words, the Armenian broadcasts on Turkish TV are to have special importance on the present stage of the recognition process of the Armenian Genocide. The broadcasts in Kurdish are to have a similar implication and are aimed at reducing the resistance of the Kurdish population of Turkey to the measures taken against PKK. |
