STOCKHOLM, May
15, 2006 (AFP) - The first independent
non-commercial Kurdish television station said it
had started broadcasting to the Middle East via
satellite from an undisclosed location near
Stockholm on Monday.
"This is the first independent Kurdish TV station
aimed at all Kurds, and the first to broadcast in
both Kurdish dialects and Persian," Kurdo Baksi, a
spokesman for the channel, told AFP.
The station, Rojhelat TV, broadcasts two hours of
news stories daily from around the world, with
particular focus on the Middle East and Iran.
Rojhelat also plans to broadcast news, pictures and
film sent in by individuals in Iran, Baksi said.
Most of Rojhelat TV's 20 staff members are Kurds
from Iran, Iraq and Turkey.
The channel is keeping the location of its premises
secret for security reasons.
