Four Countries Create Turkic News Channel

On August 18 in Astana after a meeting of ministers of the media of Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Kyrgyzstan, a protocol was signed on the establishment of the Turkic international news channel.

As the site 24.kz reported, the idea to open a Turkish television station was first proposed by Nursultan Nazarbayev at the IV Summit of the Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking states. Then the President of Kazakhstan proposed to consider the possibility of opening a news site, which would present the Turkic world to the international community.

"The Communication and Information Committee was instructed to study the issue. There have been several meetings of the coordinating group. The study was conducted with the support of Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Council of Turkic-speaking countries," the Minister for Investment and Development of Kazakhstan Asset Issekeshev said at the signing ceremony.

In September, the heads of state - members of the Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States will decide on the placement of its headquarters.

"There is a proposal that the headquarters will be located in Astana. Of course, there will be national representations in all the Turkic-speaking countries," said, in turn, the presidential aide Ali Hasanov.

"This channel will be informational, analytical, political, cultural and social," he added, making it difficult to answer the question about the timing of its launch, as the question of financing is still open. -02D-
