Turkey's state radio to launch an Armenian-language channel
Turkey's state radio will launch an Armenian-language channel. The move comes as Ankara and Yerevan have been engaged in a normalization process between the neighboring countries that for decades have had no diplomatic relations. Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan also said Wednesday that state-run Turkish Radio and Television Corp (TRT) would launch a radio station broadcasting in Kurdish. The radio channels broadcasting in Armenian and Kurdish will go on air in "two to three months," Hurriyet Daily News reports.
