    TRT to broadcast 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.
    Speaking to Today's Zaman, TRT Secretary-General Ali Gemuhluo?Ä?lu
    said the first radio broadcast in Turkey took place in 1923, according
    to official records. "But it is certain that there was radio
    broadcasting before that date," he said. ?Ä?°stanbul Today's Zaman
