Turkey closes access to local divisions of Deutsche Welle and Voice of America
The Turkish authorities have closed access to the Turkish divisions of the international publications Deutsche Welle (Germany) and Voice of America.
The newspaper Sabah writes about it.
“Access to the websites of DW Turkish and VOA Turkish from Turkey was blocked on the grounds that no license application had been submitted to the Supreme Council of Radio and Television,” the publication reported.
Recall that earlier Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey would block the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO if they do not extradite members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party. We are talking about 73 people.
Earlier, Turkey stated that it would not give consent to the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO. However, after that, a memorandum was signed, which opened the way for the Scandinavian countries to join NATO. It states that Finland and Sweden will not support the Kurdish People’s Protection Units and the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party.
We also wrote that Turkey will not join Western sanctions against Russia, based on its economic benefits. This was stated by the representative of the President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Turkey is one of the few countries that did not join the US and European Union sanctions against Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
