H\u00fcrriyet photo<\/p>\n<p>Denmark-based Roj TV, a broadcaster with alleged links to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK), is spreading propaganda on behalf of the militant organization, according to a Danish prosecutor.<\/p>\n<p>The channel is the heir to Med TV and Medya TV, both of which were shut down in Britain and France, prosecutor Jakob Buch Jepsen said in an indictment presented to the court. The channel is illegal in Germany, Jepsen said while highlighting the alleged links between the PKK and Roj TV, according to reports. Jepsen further said four telephone lines owned by Roj NV, which provides programs to Roj TV from outside the country, were also being used to provide contacts between Turkey and northern Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>The PKK is recognized as a terrorist group by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU.

He said time would show what kind of an attitude would be assumed by Denmark, which takes over the rotating presidency of the EU in January. Ba\u011f\u0131\u015f said he had observed during his talks that Danish executives had perceived Turkey\u2019s contributions to the EU more this year when compared to the previous year. The EU had yielded to the spoiled stance of the Greek Cypriot administration, Minister Ba\u011f\u0131\u015f said.<\/p>\n<p>December\/07\/2011<\/p>\n<p>via POLITICS &#8211; ROJ TV promotes PKK, says Danish prosecutor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COPENHAGEN &#8211; Anatolia News Agency This file photo shows front page of Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende publishing a report on ROJ TV showing the relations between the TV and the outlawed PKK.
