Twenty-four reporters from all over the world continued their training at Anadolu Agency’s 13th intensive war journalism program on Friday.

The agency’s News Academy has organized the 12-day program in collaboration with the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) and Turkish Police Academy.

Participants are being trained by Turkey’s military, police force, emergency services and public institutions based in Ankara.

Journalists from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Philippines, Cameroon, Montenegro, Kenya, Niger, Pakistan, Serbia, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Yemen are participating in the program.

As part of the program, several subjects, including journalism, personal security, first aid, advanced driving techniques, water-survival techniques, survival during chemical and biological attacks and media management in hostile environments -- are being taught.

Drazen Radulov, one of the trainee, said: " I think this is a great exercise. It lifts our spirit. I think we managed to pass this test."

Mohammed Azize Mbohu said the "extraordinary" training gives experience to the participants.

The program will end on Sept. 14 and successful participants will be awarded internationally recognized certificates at the end of their training.
