Khovar
Khovar is the official state media news agency of Tajikistan.History
The news agency was established on December 31, 1925, as the Tajik Telegraph Agency during the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic era. During World War II, the agency provided special photo reports, describing the situation on the Eastern Front as the Soviet Union fought Nazi Germany, this despite much of its staff joining the Red Army. After the war, the TTA continued to expand its capabilities. On April 10, 1992, the TTA was renamed Tajik News Agency Khovar, and on April 30, 2004, it gained the status of the central state information body under the government of Tajikistan and was renamed the National Information Agency of Tajikistan Khovar.
Radio Khovar FM, a subsidiary established in 2011, has since become one of the most popular radio stations in the country.
