Baku, Azerbaijan, March 23. The
Anti-Disinformation Center of the Turkish Presidency’s
Communications Directorate has denied the claim that “all live
broadcasts on television have been stopped by order of the Supreme
Council of Radio and Television,” the Center said in a statement
published on social networks, Trend reports.
It is reported that the claim that “all live broadcasts on
television were stopped by order of the Supreme Council of Radio
and Television”, published in some media and spread on social
networks, is not true.
“The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) reminded that
according to Article 8 of Law No. 6112, “broadcasters that
broadcast outside the law, call on the public to take to the
streets, people who make statements on behalf of illegal
organizations, engage in biased broadcasting that is contrary to
individual rights, and include statements and broadcasts that
insult and threaten public officials, members of the judiciary
conducting investigations, security personnel and law enforcement
officers may be subject to penalties, including long-term
suspension of broadcasting and revocation of licenses,” the
statement said.
The statement recalled that RTÜK’s warning was not to stop live
broadcasts, but to comply with the provisions of the aforementioned
law.
