COPENHAGEN (AP) -
Denmark’s premier expressed shock that 56 mayors in
Turkey were under investigation for urging him to
resist pressure from Ankara to close down an
allegedly pro-rebel Kurdish TV station in the
Scandinavian country, according to comments
broadcast yesterday.
The mayors from Turkey’s troubled Kurdish-populated
southeast had sent a letter to Anders Fogh
Rasmussen, asking him to keep the Roj TV station in
Denmark on the air despite claims from Turkey it was
a mouthpiece for the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or
PKK. “I find it rather shocking... that because you
write a letter to me, you are being accused of
violating the law,” Fogh Rasmussen told Danish
public radio.
“It is shocking that this
can take place in a country which is seeking EU
membership.”
