AMMAN (AA) - The Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan congratulated Anadolu Agency on Monday on its 100th anniversary.

"Anadolu Agency ranks among the top news agencies in the world with its professionalism, reliability and accuracy in reporting news," the organization's information office said in a message.

The organization also stressed that the agency has a major impact on illuminating issues across the Islamic world and Middle East.

Turkey's flagship news agency is celebrating its 100th anniversary, as it was founded on April 6, 1920 -- 17 days before the Turkish Grand National Assembly convened for the first time.

Since its foundation, Anadolu Agency has worked to disseminate factual news across the globe with confidence, impartiality, professionalism, and speed.

It is viewed as one of the world's most prestigious news agencies, currently producing news in 13 languages and serving 6,000 subscribers in 93 countries with at least 3,000 employees stationed in 100 countries.
