Turkish Foreign Ministry backs Egyptian MB broadcasters in 'Islamist' Turkey. (HD).
TV stations with alleged links to the Muslim Brotherhood broadcasting online to Egypt through Turkey can use “freedom of expression within the boundaries of the laws,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry has stated.
“Anybody that has the right of legal habitation with a work permit in our country can use freedom of expression within the boundaries of the laws and they can act in line within this framework,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tanju Bilgiç told reporters Feb. 3.
Saying that he had not seen the content of the Egyptian broadcasters, Bilgiç said the case was not only the concern of the Foreign Ministry, but also of Turkey’s radio and television watchdog, RTÜK.
The broadcasts by three stations – Aan, Rabia, and Al-Şark – which have reportedly called for violence and called on foreigners to leave Egypt, have aroused concern in Cairo.
The stations allegedly called on foreigners to leave the country before an investment summit next month, also saying they had received intelligence information that police and soldiers would be targeted and killed.
