The Voice of Russia, which airs in important capital cities and centres around, the world has begun broadcasting from its newly opened office in Istanbul. The head of the radio station, Andrei Bystritskiy, went to Istanbul to introduce Voice of Russia’s Istanbul branch office and showed the radio station’s programming office to the journalists at a press conference held at the radio station’s office.

Mr Bystritskiy stated that broadcasting in the Turkish language will be done in Istanbul, while other programmes will be broadcast from Russia. Bystritskiy noted that their radio broadcasts in Turkish are to be carried out in collaboration with their business partners in Istanbul.
