Bobbi Kristina's problems 'out of control'
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June 1 (UPI) -- There is nothing linking a Copenhagen television station to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, Kurdish groups in Denmark protested.
Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende alleged that Copenhagen television station ROJ-TV has direct links to the militant PKK. The newspaper said one of the members of the board of directors, Ibrahim Ayaz, was a bodyguard for PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan.
The PKK has waged a militant campaign against Turkey for decades. Ocalan was captured in 1999, though he remains influential in the group.
The newspaper last week said ROJ-TV was allowed to keep funding that allegedly came from the PKK since 2004. Administrators at the television station and several Kurdish organizations have protested the claims, The Copenhagen Post reports.
Kurdish groups said that authorities are aware of the funding allegations, noting that it "far from proves any economically binding connection" to Kurdish militants.
Belgian intelligence officials early this year warned that the PKK was active in European social organizations and lobbying groups.
