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.

Grey Wolf: It's a pity that in the last decades wolves have been poisoned in masses and approach extinction in Turkey. It's a "national" animal only as a fantasy figure, not as a reality. That's what Turkey is really in danger to lose: The real wolf. hpg

Hey Greywolf, can you clarify your position? Who's the colonial power who is taking over Turkey and sending troops here? Also I have another question for you: Why is it that nationalists in our lovely Turkey like the animal Wolf? I mean the Wolf is a dangerous animal, but the Hippopotamus is more dangerous and every year kills more human than the wolf. And it is Grey too. So wouldn't you rather be called a Grey Hippopotamus?

Both of you are very contented with the governmet because, as we know, you know the truth that the ruling governmet is just a tool of you. In name of democracy the world witnesses neo-colonial age via you

A step forward is a step forward... but without protection in the constitution the Kurdish issue in Turkey will not be solved. The AK-party has had majority in the national assembly since januari 2003. But no constitutional reforms to protect the Kurdish langauge. The state can shut down TRT6 whenever they want to. If state-controlled kurdish media go over the line, the state will react to that. If the turkish government is serious about this issue they should accept the kurdish language just as a language, not only as a language that is legal when the state uses it. Also your enemies should have the right to speek and publish in kurdish. Even if they broadcast from Denmark, print a phamplet with harsh criticism of the state or have a political rally with red-green-yellow flags. When Turkey accept that all kurds use their language, and accepts the language just as a language and not a tool for more assimilation - then there is a real process.

Good! Another small but important step in the right direction.
