88% of the population is muslim Kazakh, so maybe Oelgiy Ulgii Bayan
transmit a separate program ? - only my guess.
"The culture of the Kazakh majority is strongly influenced by
Islamic traditions. The mosque of Oelgii also houses the Islamic
Center of Mongolia. It is placed at an unusual angle within the
fabric of the city, because the building was oriented exactly
towards Mecca.
There's also a Madrasah (Islamic school) at the same place."
