Congratulations to The Telegraf

The only Kurdish and Turkish language newspaper recently celebrated its 5th Anniversary in Parliament.

The Attorney General Dominic Grieve was on hand to give a key note speech. Many other MP’s from a across the political divide, and Mayoral candidates Ken Livingstone and Jenny Jones came to pay tribute to a newspaper that has become the standard bearer for these communities.

On a number of occasions Operation Black Vote has collaborated with The Telegraf with the joint aim of ensuring Britain’s Kurdish and Turkish, and Turkish Cypriot communities have a strong political voice, and collectively work together for greater race equality.

The newspaper’s founder and managing director Ibrahim Dogus is the driving force behind the paper’s success which has seen its circulation nearly double to 30,000 within the last three years.

OBV’s Simon Woolley stated,

“I wish the Newspaper all the very best. Social and racial justice is always at the heart of this publication, as well as documenting positive cultural aspects these communities bring to the UK. Minority communities become stronger when we strive to support one another.”
