BAGHDAD 7.Dec
(DIHA) - AK Party government's attempts to shut down
Roj TV drew the reaction of the Kurdish in Iraq too.
The Kurdish who say that Roj TV is the only
television that recognize the Kurdish identity, says
that 'Roj TV is the eye and ear of the Kurdish
around the world. No one can touch it.
Attempts to shut down Roj TV drew reaction from the
Kurdish people in Baghdad. Turgut Özer, who went to
Iraq and settled in Baghdad with his family after
their village was destroyed and has been living
there for 20 years with double citizenship, spoke:
'As a Kurd that is away from his homeland, I
denounce the oppressions of the Turkish State on Roj
TV that has become the eyes and ears of 40 million
people. Despite the oppressions of Turkey on Kurds,
the Kurdish defend their own rights on streets
everyday. I greet all the Northern Iraqis that rush
to streets to denounce this ugly approach to Roj TV.
'They Mean to Shut down Roj TV and Isolate Us'
Abdurahman Ahmet Abdullah, who had immigrated to
Baghdad from Süleymaniye, said that Roj TV has
played an important role in the Kurdish culture with
cultural and social programs. 'I do not see Roj TV
as only a Kurdish television. It is a channel for
the Middle East. It addresses to all parts of
society. This state prohibited the Kurdish language
and culture.
We have become unable to our parents in our
homeland. Now they mean to isolate us shutting down
Roj TV. I, as a Kurdish, denounce the attempt of
Turkey to shut it down.' he said.
