According to the documents Zaman Daily reached, Ankara communicated to Denmark the information as well as its evidences, "Programs broadcast in MEDYA TV closed by UK, and MED TV closed by France on the grounds they are the broadcasting organ of the terrorist organization are continuing in Roj TV from your country. The so-called "Kurdish national anthem" of the terrorist organization, PKK, is played at the opening and closing of this channel. "

The relationships of the producers of Roj TV with the terrorist organization were also documented. Since the beginning of 2004, when PKK's broadcasting organ took initiatives to obtain licenses for broadcasting in Denmark with a different name, Turkey has been presenting files including information, documents, cassettes and broadcast analysis to the relevant authorities in this country.

Besides, the "continuance" between different programs in Roj TV and the programs of the two channels previously closed and the list of programs prepared by the same producers under the same title was given to them. The ties between the producers and the terrorist organization were clearly manifested and communicated to Danish authorities.
