Saudi-backed TV channel to shut down in Iraq’s Kurdistan

Salafists’ leader in Iraq’s Kurdistan said on Saturday Amozhgary TV channel will shut down due to financial crunch.

‘Managing a TV channel requires spending a lot of money and lack of funds forces us to close the channel,’ Abdullatif Salafi said.

Amozhgary is among the major Saudi-backed networks managed by Wahhabi Salafists in Iraq’s Kurdistan.

Promoting Wahhabism is among the major programs broadcasted on the TV channel.
