Turkish TRT TV to air Armenia soccer match

The Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) will air a World Cup qualifying match between the Turkish and Armenian national teams on Saturday, TRT officials have announced.

A nine-member TRT team will travel to Armenia to cover the game.

But while in Armenia, they will also have interviews with Armenian nationals in the capital city of Yerevan and prepare news features to give the Turkish audience a better insight into daily life in this neighboring country.

The TRT recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Armenia’s state-owned Public Television Company to cooperate in a number of areas.

The document, signed in Ankara on Aug. 26, envisages that the two broadcasters will produce TV programs that will help improve dialogue between Turkey and Armenia, exchange information and experiences and collaborate on entertainment and drama programs and documentaries.

News reports in Azerbaijani media said last week that the first radio broadcast was organized by Turkish Armenians in the early 1900s.
