Description
After more than 30 years on air, Istanbul's Acik radio station falls silent, shut down by the Turkish authorities six months after a guest talked on air about the "Armenian genocide", referring to the 1915 killings of Armenians in the dying days of the Ottoman Empire. It is a term many historians agree on but which successive Turkish governments have fiercely disputed. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
