Hürriyetim-Swedish state radio cancels Turkish broadcasts

"Swedish state radio cancels Turkish broadcasts

Following close on the heels of a decision by Danish state radion, Swedish state radio has announced a plan to take Turkish language broadcasts off the air. The planning board for the Swedish state radio had this to say about the cancellation of the Turkish language broadcasts: 'For certain Arab and Kurdish groups living in Sweden, Turkish is a very politically sensitive language. Broadcast in Turkish can have a negative affect over these people. For this reason, it is necessary to cancel these broadcasts.'"
