 According to him, only on September 28  the office of Turkish PM  issued decrees on closing of 12 television companies and 11 radio companies, including Govend TV music channel, TV channel of animated films Zarok TV, information channel IMC TV, Med Nuc TV, the correspondent of Armenian News-NEWS.am reported from Strasbourg.

Ferda Cetin noted that closing of the channels was explained by the fact that their broadcasting allegedly threatened public safety.
