concerned by the activity of this radio and set up anti-propaganda
campaign in this respect.

The stn's webpage provides
updated audio files of the bcs. The bcs are in Azeri, not Farsi as
reported in other sources. They might possibly be produced in Sweden, as
Stockholm is occasionally mentioned in the progrmes.
