A new bylaw in Turkey that lifts time limitations on broadcasts in languages and dialects other than Turkish went into effect Friday.
Provisions of the previous version of the bylaw limited radio broadcasts in languages and dialects other than Turkish to an hour each day and a total of five hours per week for radios and to 45 minutes per day and a total of four hours per week for televisions.
The previous bylaw also required translations and subtitles of the programs on radios and televisions, respectively.
The new bylaw excludes a provision that banned educational programs in the languages and dialects in which the broadcasts were made.
