History
Diplomatic relations between Denmark and Turkey were put under pressure in 2014 because of the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy and the Roj TV affair (Roj TV's broadcasting license was suspended by the Supreme Court in Denmark on February 27, 2014[1]).[2][3]
As part of the United States diplomatic cables leak of November 2010, a diplomatic message surfaced that referred to a Turkish representative's claim that, "as part of the 2009 POTUS-brokered deal that had overcome Turkish objections to the appointment of Anders Fogh Rasmussen as NATO Secretary General, Denmark had promised to clarify its legal requirements prerequiste [sic] to acceding to Turkey's request for the closure of Roj TV"[4]
Roj TV's broadcasting license was suspended by the Supreme Court in Denmark on February 27, 2014.[1]
The Turkish, including Kurdish, community living in Denmark consists of around 75 thousand people. They are the biggest migrant community in Denmark.[5]
