Radio Canada is opening a new office in Istanbul after a tumultuous period marked by the forced closure of its facilities in Beijing and Moscow. Thus, foreign correspondent Marie-Yves Bédard and her team will continue to cover the Russian invasion of Ukraine from Turkey, as well as cover humanitarian and cultural issues affecting this pole of the Middle East, on the border with Europe.
Live from Istanbul on Monday, the journalist spoke about A pivotal role
Turkey is in many major challenges to the contemporary world, due to its position as an unstable mediating country with Russia, as well as its geographical location, which makes it the center of the migration crisis.
It is also a country facing massive inflation, and struggling to recover from the massive earthquake that hit it in February. We do not see the end of the beginning of reconstruction. We are still clearing rubble in most cities
Marie-Eve Bédard confirmed on the occasion of the unveiling of the 2023-2024 programs of Information de Radio-Canada.
It’s a very exciting project, because everything has to be built.
Although the Istanbul office is not officially open, the public can expect to see Marie-Eve speaking from Turkey in the coming weeks on the Radio Canada platforms.
Opening an office is now very complicated. Tax laws, getting visas… it’s very complicated! It exercises our patience
