After WikiLeaks released the confidential correspondences between US embassy in Ankara and Washington Denmark was shocked about the negotiations over Kurdish satellite RojTV. The released document indicates that former Danish PM Anders Fogh Rasmussen has bargained with Ankara over closing the Kurdish satellite RojTV in order to get Turkey’s support to be elected as Secretary General of NATO. Danish press described the bargain as a scandal.

Speaking about the incident former Minister of Foreign Affairs Mogens Lykketoft said: “It was very wrong to promise to try legal remedies to shut down RojTv just to receives Turkey’s support to be elected as Secretary General of NATO.”

In this press release the former Danish minister also reminded that Rasmussen has no competency over RojTv and added: “The government cannot give a decision about RojTV but the judiciary can. Therefore, it is wrong if Ramussen gave the Turkish authorities an impression that he can affect Roj TV’s future. I have never seen such an agreement in politics. It is wrong that the government wanted to intervene this issue such a way.”
