Turkey blocked access to Twitter a few hours after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s announcement at a meeting of his Justice and Development Party that social networks would be eradicated, RIA Novosti reports.
He said that he was indifferent to the reaction of the international community.
The Turkish PM warned in early March that Facebook and YouTube could be blocked too. Erdogan was outraged that YouTube had an audio recording of allegedly himself and his son talking about covering up tens of millions of euros. The prime minister called the recording edited and an attack on the government.
Yesterday, he promised to bypass the ban on an agitation video of his party imposed by the Supreme Council.
