ANKARA
Anadolu Agency has established a research and development (R&D) center in Turkey`s capital at Ankara-based Hacettepe University.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the center, Anadolu Agency (AA) Director General and Chairman of the Board Kemal Ozturk said a media institution established a research and development department for the first time in history.
“Technology has constituted one of the main budget items of AA,” said Ozturk, adding that the information technology (IT) department is one of the fastest growing units of the agency. “With its vast experience, know-how and infrastructure, AA is boasting one of the most prominent institutions of Turkey in terms of media technology”.
Expressing hopes that the new center will serve as a "school," Ozturk said those working in Anadolu Agency's IT department will someday be the experts of their field.
