The training program, organized to train operational journalists to work in times of war, disaster, and emergencies, was completed by 24 participants, including 9 from AA and 15 journalists from Djibouti, Tunisia, Senegal, Niger, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, the Republic of Guinea, and Chad.

The training's certificate ceremony was held at the Police Academy Gölbaşı Campus Presidential Conference Hall.

Speaking at the ceremony, AA Academy Manager Zeynep Bayramoğlu Öztürk congratulated the trainees who successfully completed their training.

Öztürk thanked the institutions that supported the training and said:

"Over the past 27 sessions, we have trained 608 colleagues in war journalism. We have become a very large family. For 12 days, we ran an intensive program covering various topics, from personal safety to war terminology, first aid to survival in water. Thanks to this intensive program, we actually experienced what journalists need to do under extraordinary conditions. Anadolu Ajansı Academy aims to raise awareness and provide field support to colleagues around the world through this program."

Öztürk expressed her condolences to the soldiers who lost their lives in the military cargo plane crash in Georgia and congratulated the journalists who participated in the course.

“Your efforts under difficult conditions are commendable.”

Deputy President of the Police Academy Deniz Alemdar said, “You have successfully completed the war journalism training we started on November 3 with the support of instructors working in different institutions. What you have learned through experience and your efforts under difficult conditions are commendable.”

Alemdar offered his condolences to the families and loved ones of the soldiers who lost their lives in the cargo plane crash in Georgia.

Uğur Tanyeli, TİKA's Head of Foreign Relations and Partnerships, stated that a training program specifically for Africa was organized this year, adding, "This year's group truly succeeded in becoming a team. This training program provides journalists with various benefits such as survival skills, risk analysis, and capacity development, while another objective is to create a network among journalists from different countries. Because those who have benefited from the War Journalism Training program have now formed a large family. You are now part of this family."

Tanyeli offered his condolences to the families of the soldiers who lost their lives in the military cargo plane crash in Georgia and wished them strength.

At the ceremony, trainees Berkan Çetin and Abdoul Karim Mamane also gave thank-you speeches.
