Following Turkish Radio and Television broadcasts in Kurdish, Armenian
representatives have demanded that the Supreme Board of Radio
Television (RTUK) offer broadcasts in Armenian as well.

In the statement filed yesterday, Armenian representatives said they
want to broadcast through their own radio and television station to be
established. Armenian Agos newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Hrant Dink,
said Armenian radio will begin this year. Armenians already have their
own schools and newspapers. Armenian radio has been a dream for 10
years, and the Armenian community has launched a donation drive to
help it be realized. It is expected that a total of US$300,000 will be
donated.
