Anadolu Agency works non-stop to expand its global news network. The inclusion of the
new service brings the agency's broadcasting languages to nine, including Turkish, English,
Arabic, French, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS), Russian, Kurdish, and Albanian.



Anadolu Agency (@anadoluagency), has been meticulous in its preparations for the
launch of the Persian service, taking into consideration the social, cultural, historical,
economic and geostrategic significance for Turkey of the Persian-speaking countries, which
include Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan.



The Persian service (https://www.facebook.com/anadoluagencypersian), of which the
beta version has been running for a while, has developed its technical infrastructure in
order to supply news stories to media outlets in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan in their
mother language.



Anadolu Agency's Tehran-based Persian News Desk (@aa_persian) will widely report on
developments in politics, economics, sports, tourism, life, culture and arts all over the
world, with the aim of bringing a breath of fresh air to the Persian media landscape.
