Roj TV comments spark investigation into Diyarbakir's Baydemir
The mayor of Turkey's southeastern city Diyarbakir, Osman Baydemir, has made some striking statements regarding the PKK while speaking on Roj TV, a television station whose closure Ankara has been pushing for for years.
Roj TV, which broadcasts out of Denmark, hosted not only Baydemir, but also former DEP MP Hatip Dicle and others, has been the focus of much Turkish state criticism. Baydemir referred in his comments last night on Roj TV to the PKK as the "armed opposition" of the Kurdish people. An investigation has reportedly been opened into Baydemir for what state prosecutors are calling his actions in spreading propoganda.
