if you want to access wordpress.com from turkey Suprise! "Access to this site is closed" Dont think that it cant be.Here is Turkey,do you know that before we had banned 12 days youtube.com! Turkey is a military based an-democratic country,And now we want to join eu.Forget eu for 50 years now! i dont want military focused turkey!civil democracy please!
You should not be ashamed or something.. I may be some mistake, Even Indian ISPs banned Blogger and other blogging websites for few days. Soon enough they realized it's a mistake and they reopened it.. Give it some time and they may restore the access.. BTW, what is the reason for this ban?
Wow. Turkey is supposed to be one of the more liberal countries over there too. Wasn't a muslim just elected as president or am I thinking of another country?
You see what happens when you ban WP templates with footer links All the Turkish WP designers are getting their own back
Yes WP is banned according to a "court order", nothing close to military. I don't know yet about why, so i can't comment over it, but it's still a court order. I think people should stop making such big deals before fully knowing the issue.
"Access to this site has been suspended in accordance with decision no: 2007/195 of T.C. Fatih 2.Civil Court of First Instance. " it is not mistake. yeah,we go on to liberalization people wants liberalization but Some of military and %20 of turkey which calls them selves as "Secular" dont wants.They set up every adversity/diffultiy to akp(turkeys goverment and biggest party ). American and eu citizens things muslim based akp is reactionary ad wants a muslim based country.and "seculars" are more modern and liberal.No it is worse !believe me it is reverse. Todays goverment akp and erdogan rised its votes %34 to %47. Akp supporters are poor. All the things are controlls by "seculars" (in fact they are not) which have money and force.military,law,officers..they made the laws,play the laws..all is this.Control the power! there isnt a democracy in turkey ,%47 of turkey support the akp but we afraid to be "cut off democracy" every ten year our democracy cuts off by military forces they kill people who dont likes.And begins to administrates the country. Now we afraid there will be a "cut".
May be it is not related directly related military but related indirect with military.what can a reason be? Somone has posted a bad things about Ataturk?(as youtubes done).Nothing can be a reason to close all wordpress. Do you know how many people writes at wp? what a stupid thing it is!
That is an embarrassment to ban a site like wordpress. I hear a lot of people complain about America but this country has treated me well over the years. It is unfortunate to hear turkey decided to ban wp though.
Dude noone even knows the reason yet. You may be feeling victim for some reason but this issue is not even cleared at all, associating it with military is nothing but bias, stop acting like enemy of the state when you know nothing particularly about this. Besides, if Turkey was actually an anti-democratic, military based country, the opposition you call, akp, would not even be in charge for 5 years so far, and another 4 years from now on, democracy is the pure reason they're in full charge when they are not favored by the elite or whatsoever you name 'em, i take it you have not seen any anti-democratic state. There is no opposition in such states, they don't participate in elections, they don't get 47% votes, moreso they never be in full charge as it is now if they don't get along with the brute. They are likely to get prisoned or even killed or the very least deported in such states. Before you come here and tell eveyone you are ashamed of your hometown, you can always make a living elsewhere if you're a good webmaster, noone forces you be a part of something you are so ashamed of. Relax
What's really a shame about this is, there are *real* people in *real* countries that are losing *real* freedoms like this. Was it today, or yesterday, that reports of Hugo Chavez voting himself into permanent lifetime power? And it wasn't too long ago that Chavez shut down a media company there, that was unfavorable to him. Talk about a *real* loss of freedoms. The sad part is, that here in America, we have a group of self-loathers that so desperately want to believe they are victims...that they pretend they have lost freedoms. It's somewhat of a joke, in that they scream about lost freedoms, but when you ask them, they have no idea what freedom they believe they have lost. They just "feel" like they have. Sort of a spit in the face to *real* people who are losing *real* freedoms around the world. Even worse, some of those here...in the past, have openly supported Chavez and with enough hypocrisy to part the Mississippi River, complain that they "feel" Bush is doing these same things. They support Chavez, but hate Bush. Go figure Anyway, not trying to hijack your thread. I just find it interesting, yet sad, when *real* people like yourself are losing *real* freedoms, while others who probably have more freedom than any other country in the world, cry about *pretend* freedoms they believe they have lost here in the US.
i m nice here ,but sometimes this kind of un-domocratic an sillines things makes me crazy! Second yeah there is more un-democratic countires but "worse can not be a our example".We are better then iran but why you look worse? At least 30 years back from america. You say if we are un-domocratic why akp is 5 years on goverment and now still he is goverment." Just tell me that what akp did as a political new?military forces didnt allow to do new something. And you know what happened at elections of president of Turkey. i dont want to live anywhere else %47 of my people things like me.this country is mine not %20 "happy piece" which have the power.
I think, this topic isn't about Turkish inner conflicts. So i won't answer 1 by 1, what i can say is, democracy is something like this actually. It isn't an election high score game, there happens conflicts, there happens issues, there happens elections. There are all of these within yeah, who doesn't? But we live through debates and shit, just like any other country run by people who were elected through elections just like us. What people get confused is, we are not EU, we are not US or we are not Far east. We are Turkey. We have our own unique circumstances so any comparison among would succeed to find many differences. If you name every one of them "uncivilised", well, it's ok. Just there is no reason to be ashamed of. If you look into censorship history of those "off the hook" countries, you'll probably find a lot of funny samples as well. Anyway, i believe when the court reason is released, it'll be better to keep on this discussion.
"We are Turkey. We have our own unique circumstances " Every "secular" people says this sentence.There is a good reason to use their power.We are not unique.We live in in world not space! i also dont want to get inner bore people.So it is not really about the bans of wp.Just want to tell the world as the proof Turkey is alittle better then iran. iran bans most of the sites but turkey do only onesSo turkey bans alittle then iran so turkey is nice..very nice i love my country and love my people but as a political view it is really worse!
*Sigh* every culture has there own circumstances. Quite normal. You have your own different point of view from others and that's what you're complaining about, so you also have your own differences just like everyone else. I'm sorry you feel like a victim and feel belong to a part of the country and not the whole as i do. Some people always have something to blame, obsessively.
I can't find much about else this in the search engines yet. I wonder why this has happened, it seems odd that there's a court order without an immediate statement about why they are issuing it?
