Sounds like Turkish, definitely. Not only for the “Ankara’ya” more or less at the middle of the recording (a pretty good contextual clue), but also for the “softened” (liquid) word-final r sounds from the first (male) voice and the way he devoices it only a few words into the recording in “(unclear) rangi b?r, eh…”. In any other Turkic language I’ve heard, the r is still pronounced as a good old fashioned trrrill. That said, the [æ] sounds I hear, for example in what I transcribed as “rangi” here, are typical of Azeri as far as I know, but who knows — maybe they’re just a superficial phonetic-level pronunciation of /a/ in some varieties of current Euro-Turkish…
It’s definitely a Turkic language, but I have no idea which one, so I’m guessing it’s Turkish.
It sounds very Turkish to my ears including “Ankara” (capital of Turkey)and “dokuz” (9). But, since that would be too easy, I’d go for Azerbaijani.
Turkic indeed, but which variation? I go for Turkmen.
After a second listening I change may guess: it is Turkish!!

I do go on, don’t I…
The language is indeed Turkish (Türkçe) which is spoken mainly in Turkey.
The recording comes from TRT
Argh, the one time my wild guess was right! I’ve got to catch these quizzes on Sunday…
