Yes, it's true.
1)There was that dumb anti-Ataturk video posted by some Greek guy;
2) some nationalist Turks uploaded an equally stupid video;
3) daily newspapers Hurriyet, Sabah and Milliyet did their part to blow the thing out of proportion;
4) and Turk Telekom, the country's main internet provider, blocked YouTube.
And now you know the rest of the story.

hi, I shop my digital mail open and block no one; even those that worry or tell me off. I understand the place you're coming from yet having reported that many blockers here have a crybaby concepts-set that I disagree with what you assert, wahhhh, i'm taking my marbles and going domicile! case in point the final individual who blocked me did so because of the fact I reported that Cleopatra grew to become into no longer black Sub Saharan as she theory yet Macedonian from the Ptomely kin. I went directly to show out that there grew to become into an Afro - Centrist prof who gave a huge public lecture approximately Aristotle stealing all his concepts from the Black Africans who had it in the Library of Alexandria... no longer complete till nicely after his death. formerly that a creationist blocked me for asserting that God will ask how believed and behaved in this existence; no longer ask if earth is 6400 or 4.5 billion years previous or if guy walked with dinosaurs. Cheers, Michael Kelly

It is true, it was blocked because some Greek guy posted a flick proclaiming that Ataturk was gay. Here are my comments:
It is a sad state of affairs when a state poses censorship for whatever reason. Especially a state that wants to be call democratic.
What's with the Ataturk worship in Turkey? Everywhere you go anywhere you look Ataturk this Ataturk that. Stamps, notes, posters, flags, pictures everywhere... Can someone explain that to me? Are there no other great persons in Turkey?
You call him gay and you go to prison!! What’s up with that? I thought that Turkey is a secular (at most Islamic country) but it seems to me that Ataturk is worshiped as a god.
What is wrong if Ataturk was gay? Are there no gay people in Turkey? And if he was, would that make him any less than he is now?
Get over it please. In Europe we ridicule our leaders past present and future. It is a sign of democracy that you can criticize, ridicule even insult the state without police knocking down you door.

many turkish people has sent protesting mails to youtube, for a few days, that silly video still has not been deleted; then; with an award by turkish courts, access from turkiye to youtube was blocked, and after this event, youtube apologized from turkish authorizations and deleted that silly video.
why didnt they delete the video before this blocking event? i think youtube should suffer its punishment by losing from their advertisement income now.
