List of Kurdish-language television channels

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Sebci (talk | contribs) at 06:07, 9 April 2023 (It should be categorized based on sovereign countries rather than unofficial and heavily biased proclaimed territories. There is not even a single place, division or territory 'officially' called "Kurdistan" in both Turkey and Syria. Other than that. Some of those channels are not based on the claimed area either. Even further the companies adresses on official papers are always stated based on sovereign countries.).
