DTP Kars Provincial Chairman,
Mehmut Alinak, told of the need for a referendum to
be made among Kurds concerning Roj TV.
Alinak, "The efforts of the state officials to
silence Roj TV is an attack against another
country's right to territorial integrity"
As comic as it is for another country to ask for the
end of TRT broadcasting, it is likewise comic for
the state officials of the Turkish country to ask
another country for the silencing of Roj TV" he
said.
The DTP Kars Provincial Chairman, Mahmut Alinak, in
his written press statement, said that he wanted
there to be a referendum on Roj TV among the Kurds.
"If it hadn't been for the ban and hardship on the
Kurds, Roj TV would not be in a foreign land today,
but in it's own land, broadcasting. And this
responsibility is carried by the country officials"
Alinak said, stressing that Roj TV was born because
of need and hardship.
Alinak, in his further statement, said that: "If the
country (Turkey) had met the need for a Kurdish TV
channel, there would be no need for Roj TV. Roj TV
with it's broadcasts is doing a humane service,
whereas this service is Turkey's responsibility. The
state officials are, by not bringing to the table
the needs of millions of viewers, committing a
crime.
Just as opening schools, making roads and hospitals
are state responsibilities, it is just ast much the
responsibility to broadcast a TV in the language of
20 million viewers. If a state doesn't bring this
right to the table, it isn't their right to complain
either."
In his statement to state officials and the world at
large, DTP Kars Provincial Chairman Alinak said,
"Come, let's hold a referendum for Roj TV. If there
is an inch of democracy in you, you will hold a
referendum for Roj TV among the Kurds. Let everybody
join in on the results of the referendum. If the
answer is "no", we are ready to darken the screens
of Roj TV. But if the people, say "yes", you will
give permission to Roj TV to broadcast in the center
of Ankara. You only want democracy for yourselves.
This way, you will not only have made life for the
Kurdish people, but also for the Turkish people, a
living hell. Never take this out of your mind!
"If you don't hold this referendum, when the day
comes, we will force this through in our political
struggle. For Roj TV I call on Turk, Kurd, and all
democratic circles, to wish and ask for a
referendum", he said.
