Özet:

In the years of the Cold War, the Eastern and Western blocks were effectively using propaganda tools to adopt their own ideologies. The expansion of the radio's field of influence every day, because it was easily accessible to the houses, brought him to the forefront in this process. There are several radio stations in both blocks. In this context, Our Radio, founded by the Turkish Communist Party (TKP) External Office in Leipzig in 1958 in the Democratic Republic of Germany, continued its broadcasting life until 1989. In Turkey, the state radio making unilateral broadcasts has caused our Radio to be welcomed with interest. It has reached places where the state radio has not reached. The current developments of our Radio have left the main broadcast, shortly left its place for political main broadcasts. TKP has been active as the official publication of the Foreign Office, preparing its publications in this direction. Our radio has played a role in the formation of the relations between Turkey and the Soviet Union. In response to the request of Turkish officials to terminate their activities due to discomfort from Our Radio, Russian officials did not fulfill the request by stating that the radio is not within the borders. However, our Radio, though operating in the territory of the Democratic Republic of Germany, was under the Soviet Union’s control. In this study we provide information about the organization process and the process through which our radio is organized. In addition, the question of what role it plays in the relations between Turkey and the Soviet Union is answered in the light of first-hand sources as well as research works.
