Turkey revoked Acik Radyo's license after a guest called 1915 Armenian killings "genocide".
Turkey's broadcasting authority, RTÜK, has shut down Acik Radyo, an Istanbul station, after a guest referred to the 1915 killings of Armenians as genocide. The station, known for advocating human rights and minority issues, had faced prior suspensions before its license was revoked. Acik Radyo plans to appeal the decision. Turkey's stance denies the genocide label, while many countries officially recognize it. The nation ranks 158th in press freedom globally.
