ISTANBUL
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan has said that Anadolu Agency, with its professional personnel, was offering important services to Turkey by combining its experience with present-day technological developments.
Speaking at the official launch of AA's Finance News Terminal (aafinans.com) for market professionals in Istanbul, Babacan said that AA, for more than 90 years, had been broadcasting developments in Turkey and the world in a right, neutral and rapid way.
AA's reaching large masses in a right, neutral and rapid way is an important mission and function in the aspects of Turkish media as well as other media organizations in a wide geography, he said.
Babacan noted that their meeting was being translated in five different languages, and broadcast to the whole world by AA.
Thanks to AA, we are able to reach more people in a wider geography in their mother tongue, said Babacan and congratulated AA's Director General Kemal Ozturk, AA executives and personnel for the Agency's new initiatives launched in such a short time.
Noting that today, communication was very important both for public diplomacy and economy, Babacan said that it was significant to convey the developments to people with a correct perspective and accent.
An Anadolu Agency, which suits with Turkey's economic and political position in the world as well as its rising image in the international area, is also important for our government, said Babacan.
