Did you know anyone can do their own youtube sites ... ... Good for Turkey ... now no Turks need hear anything from the outside world!

YouTube ban turns into mystery


28th August 2008

Turkish Internet users welcomed the news claiming that the video sharing Web site YouTube was accessible from Turkey again after a 114-day ban, only to later hear from the Telecommunications Authority that the ban had not been lifted.

Telecommunications Authority Internet Department head Osman Nihat Şen said on Wednesday that the Telecommunications Authority Press Center's statement that "YouTube is online" was not true and added, "YouTube is not online."

Speaking on the NTV news station, Şen said: "We too were unable to figure it out. The Telecommunications Authority Press Center issued a written statement on this issue but did not ask about the situation. I mean, YouTube is not online." After news stories were aired by the media, the Telecommunications Press Center sent a written statement to the media on Tuesday, saying, "Because the content which caused YouTube to be blocked by Ankara's 11th High Criminal Court without any justification was taken off from YouTube, the court decided to permit access to the Web site. YouTube is now online."

When asked why YouTube was inaccessible from some parts of Turkey, the press center said, "This is not possible." However, Şen said on Wednesday that there was no court decision to lift the block on YouTube. "The prosecutor of the court did not ask the court to allow access to YouTube; no such decision was sent to us."

Şen's explanation created confusion among the public. Speaking with Şen, an NTV reporter said YouTube was accessible and asked how this was possible in light of the ban. Şen said, "I think there is a technical problem." He also noted that the court did not send any message saying that videos insulting Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, were taken off of YouTube.

YouTube was online on Tuesday for a limited time and for this reason Internet users thought the ban was lifted, but news came from the Telecommunications Authority's Web site to the contrary. The statement read: "Several media organs reported that YouTube was accessible from Turkey. These news stories are incorrect and serve to confuse the public. The YouTube Web site was blocked by a court decision and the ban can only be rescinded by another court decision."

There you go.....Expanding your mind might hurt a little but it's worth it.

Big governments play and so does big business.....

I said it was the government that imposed the youtube ban, it is your assumption it was the Kemalists. But only because tess asked, why she got such a message

And I am not the one who has a problem with homosexuals, clearly the Turkish government does as they did the banning. Since you now finally accept Kemal was homosexual, perhaps you can enlighten your people to be more accepting and tolerant, instead of trying to erase the truth, again!

Since you are so keen on the truth, why dont you find out exactly why the site was banned instead of making insinuations. You are almost always wrong with your assumptions and insinuations. Get a life.

It was to prevent Turks from accessing anything the government/those really in power, saw as anti-Turkishness. A Freedom of speech issue which they are now having to re-address due to criticism from many Human Rights activists and EU governments ... as you know Deniz.

I dont see any of the great Turkish artistes being hung drawn and quartered for being gay. Would that be anti Turkish. We all know your ' modus operandi' dont we? Many Turks know whatever the truth is, so you are wasting your time and energy. The great man will always be right up there in your face. Live with it or let it go. The choice is yours.

Have a good day.

Then why don't you give us the Turkish version of why the Turkish government banned access to youtube in Turkey ... and from what tessintrnc has said... they have banned it in the "trnc" as well

Access to this web site is banned by "TELEKOMÜNİKASYON İLETİŞİM BAŞKANLIĞI" according to the order of: Ankara 1. Sulh Ceza Mahkemesi, 05/05/2008 of 2008/402.

Where in that ruling does it mention that MKAtaturk was gay, and that is why the site was banned? Show me and I will kiss your hand in respect.

I'll repeat since you did not understand the first time ...

Then why don't you give us the Turkish version of why the Turkish government banned access to youtube in Turkey ... and from what tessintrnc has said... they have banned it in the "trnc" as well

OK. Post the ruling and I will translate for you. Is that fair?


and for Christs sake, it is YOU making these allegations. I have nothing to prove. The onus is on YOU.

What allegations?

Don't you want to know what is happening in your country .... Oh I forgot Turkey keeps you in the dark!

Please read posts over the page. They are in English, saves you any trouble since you are struggling with comprehension!

Anothrer wrong assumption. My country is Cyprus.
I am aware of the nasty videos put on U-tube by both sides.
You made the allegation or repeated the allegation that MK is Gay. What is YOUR proof?

This question is getting so boring.

The family are fine Deniz and hope yours are also.

My son would not tell me if he was I am afraid. We expierienced it first hand on holiday but now if he is talking to her he is doing it quietly!! I have to boast for him a little after his results though. He got GCSE-A* for French and an A*-IGCSE for maths. He also got 3-100's for Module1 in Physics, Chemistry and Biology at the age of 15. If that doesn't put a spike up Stellas kilt then nothing will!!
