5 | The PKK is considered a terrorist group by the European Union, and Roj TV is accused of promoting the organization through its television programming. | Ny PKK izay sokajian'ny Vondrona Eoropeana ho Vondrona Mpampihorohoro, ary ny Roj TV dia voatondro ho mpanome vahana ity fikambanana ity amin'ireo fandaharana alefan ‘ny fahitalavitra. |
6 | According to Kurdish activists the Turkish government has been pressing the Danish government to shut down the station since 2005 when it was banned in Turkey. | Araka ny lazain'ny mpikatroka Kiorda dia manery ny fitondrana any Danimarka ny governemanta any Tiorkia mba hanakatona ity fahitalavitra ity nanomboka tamin'ny taona 2005 rehefa voarara tany Tiorkia izy. |

9 | In Denmark, freedom of speech is valued highly. Many politicians and bloggers have argued that closing the station would be wrong. | Any Danimarka, ny fahalalahana miteny dia tena manan-danja tokoa, ny politisiana sy ny mpitoraka blaogy dia manohana fa fahadisoana ny fanakatonana io fahitalavitra io. |

13 | The Council of Europe estimates that there are 8,000-10,000 Kurds living in Denmark but there are no official statistics since Kurds are usually registered as Turkish, Iranian, or Iraqi because there is no Kurdish nation state. | Ny Filankevitra eoropeanina moa dia milaza fa manodidina ny 8000 - 10000 ny Kiorda monina any Danimarka kanefa tsy misy statistika tena ofisialy manamarina azy ireny ho Tiorka, Iraniana, na Irakiana satria tsy misy izany firenena Kiorda izany. |

15 | On the website of Kurdisk Forum (Kudish Forum), a pressure group in Denmark that aims to keep the Turkish-Kurdish political conflict in the public eye, a press release from September 10 describes Roj TV as an important counter-balance to official Turkish news for Kurds in Turkey as well as in Denmark. | Ao amin'ny tranokala iray hafa Adihevitra Kiorda (Kudish Forum),ny vondrona Danoà mpanery izay mikendry ho hita imaso ny disadisa misy eo amin'ny Tiorka sy ny Kiorda no namoaka fanambarana an-gazety ny 10 septambra teo milaza ny “Roj TV” ho anisan'ny tsindry lentam-baovao ofisialy ho an'ny Kiorda any Tiorkia sy any Danimarka. |

17 | “The case is complicated, pitting press freedoms against illegal financing and support of terrorism. | “Sarotra ny raharaha ary mamantatra ny toerana misy ny fahalalahana an-gazety miady amin'ny famatsiam-bola tsy ara-dalàna sy ny fanohanana mpampihorohoro. |
18 | But the deck is stacked against Roj-TV with Denmark being called Europe's weak link, bringing with it enormous pressure on Danish courts to shut the station down and prove Denmark can be a partner in the global fight against terrorism.” | Misy fitongilanana ny lalao mamely ny Roj-TV sy an'i Danimarka izay lazaina ho kibo malemin'i Eoropa, ka noho izay indrindra no mahamora ny manery ny fitsarana any Danimarka hanidy ity fahitalavitra ity sy hanamporofoana fa azo atao ho namana miady amin'ny mpampihoroho ihany koa i Danimarka”. |
19 | The Copenhagen Post, a Danish newspaper in English, analyses the case: | The Copenhagen Post, Izay gazety any Danimarka amin'ny teny anglisy, manadihady ity tranga ity: |
20 | “The station has become a thorn in the side for relations between Turkey and Denmark, as Turkey banned the station in 2005 and has since accused Denmark of dragging its feet in the case, by taking five years to make a ruling.” | “Ity fahitalavitra ity dia lasa tsilo eo amin'ny fifandraisana misy amin'i Tiorkia sy Danimarka, i Tiorkia dia nandrara ilay fahitalavitra tamin'ny 2005 ary hatramin'izay izy dia nanameloka an'i Danemarka ho mitamatama amin'ity raharaha ity miandry dimy taona vao mandray andraikitra.” |
21 | At the end of August, an investigative journalist for Berlingske Tidende newspaper in Denmark, Karl Erik Stougaard, asked readers their opinion of the case, while highlighting that the newspaper had unearthed photos, tapes and other types of documentation that proves connections to the PKK [Da] that have otherwise been denied by Roj TV management. | Tamin'ny farany volana Aogositra, nanontany ny hevitry ny mpamakiny amin'ity tranga ity ny mpanao gazety fanadihadiana an'i ‘Berlingske Tidende' any Danimarka, Karl Erik Stougaard sady nanasongadina ny fananany sary, horonampeo sy antontan-taratasy maro manaporofo ny fifandraisany amin'ny PKK [Da] izay nolavin'ny Talen'ny Roj TV. |
22 | The comment thread on the post contains heated discussion between those who think that Kurds should have the freedom to watch a television channel in their own language, and those who think that Roj-TV is religiously biased or may even have connections with the drug trade. | Mafana dia mafana ny adihevitra eo amin'ny toerana natokana ho amin'izany eo amin'ireo mihevitra fa tokony homena fahalalahana ny Kiorda hijery ny fahitalavitra amin'ny fiteniny sy ireo mihevitra fa ny Roj-TV dia mirona loatra amin'ny fivavahana na mety manana fifandraisana amin'ny varotra zava-madomelina. |
