Blockades in Turkey
From November 2014, the Turkish communications authority blocked Internet access in Turkey for some anatomical articles on the Turkish-language Wikipedia. In June 2015, the Turkish language Wikipedia displayed a banner indicating that five articles were inaccessible to internet users in Turkey , including four articles on human reproductive organs and one on polls for the 2015 Turkish general election . On June 12, 2015, the Wikimedia Foundation introduced the standard encryption for Wikipedia via HTTPS and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which makes selective blocking of articles more difficult.
The NGO Turkey Blocks reported that on April 29, 2017, two weeks after the constitutional referendum , access to Wikipedia in Turkey was blocked due to a provisional order from the Turkish Information and Communication Technologies Authority. Initially, no specific reason was given from the official side. In the English-language Internet news portal Daily Sabah , which is close to Erdogan , the reason given was the refusal to remove information "which represents Turkey's cooperation with terrorist groups". In a later article in the same portal it was specified that the point was that Wikipedia would spread the "lie" that Turkey supports the Daesh. The editing of the controversial passage was prevented by a side protection. According to the Turkish state news agency Anadolu Ajansı , wording in two articles on the English-language Wikipedia on the Turkey-Syria conflict were the reason for the ban. Since the blockade could not be limited to individual pages due to the HTTPS encryption, access to Wikipedia was blocked as a whole.
On May 5, 2017, a judge of the 1st Criminal Court in Ankara rejected the Wikimedia Foundation's request for the suspension to be lifted. A constitutional complaint was then submitted to the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Turkey . In December 2019, the Constitutional Court condemned the ban as an inadmissible violation of freedom of expression and demanded that it be lifted. The ban was finally lifted on January 15, 2020.
Awards
In 2006, the Turkish language Wikipedia won the Altın Örümcek Web Ödülleri award in the “Best Content” category. The award was presented in January 2007 at the Istanbul Technical University .
