Turkish state TV invites controversial Kurdish singer

 

Turkey´s state-run broadcaster TRT invited controversial Kurdish singer, Sivan Perwer, to perform at the opening of its Kurdish TV channel. The Kurdish singer is cold to the proposal. 


As part of developing the cultural rights of Turkish citizens of Kurdish origin, state-owned Turkish Radio and Television (TRT) decided to begin the broadcast of a solely Kurdish language TV channel that will air around the clock as of Jan. 1, 2009.  


As preparations continue for the inauguration of the Kurdish TV, as part of the country’s official broadcaster, TRT invited Kurdish singers, including Perwer, and Nilufer Akbal, a well-known female singer among Kurdish people, to participate in the celebrations.


Perwer, whose real name is Ismail Aygun, has been living in Germany for 35 years, he left Turkey for not being allowed to sing in Kurdish.

..

The channel is expected to be named, TRT 8 or Hest, eight in Kurdish, CNNTurk also reported.

 

Although a bit late, but I welcome to the decision...This is a right step to right direction..
