日本語放送は実現しなかったが、今度はモンゴル語放送を始めるらしい。
という記事がトルコの新聞で報じられた。
The Voice of Turkey (Türkiye’nin Sesi Radyosu in Turkish), Turkey’s state-owned radio broadcasting service in foreign languages, will soon add Mongolian to its portfolio.
The Voice of Turkey is the world’s fourth biggest radio station in terms of the number of foreign languages in which it broadcasts. It airs content in Turkish as well as in 34 other languages with plans to start a Mongolian service soon.
With such a large coverage, Turkey’s official radio station is placed on the list above the BBC, which broadcasts in 33 languages, and comes after the US, China and Russia. Now in its 75th year, the Voice of Turkey is considering expanding its coverage to Mongolia.
“We have received requests from Japan, South Korea, Mongolia, Gagauz Turks and Bashkortostan [a republic in Russia] to start broadcasting in their languages,” Süleyman Köksoy, director of the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) Foreign Service, told Sunday’s Zaman in an exclusive interview.
肝心なTRTサイトでは何も変化がないようだが、新聞記事にはよくありがちなこと。実際にはどうなることやら。そういう要望があったというインタビュー記事のようだ。
公式には31言語で放送とTRTサイトでは書いているが、記事では36番目の言語になる?ウェブサイトは31言語が用意されているのは確認できた。
