TURKISH MINISTER LASHES OUT AT YOUTUBE
ANKARA (A.A) - 24.06.2010 - Turkish Transportation Minister Binali Yildirim fired on Thursday a heavy salvo of criticisms against online video website YouTube, which has been banned in the country.
"YouTube insists on complying to its legal obligations in Turkey. The website has taken on a struggle with our country but we will not accept this," Yildirim said.
Access to YouTube has been banned by a court decision on the grounds that certain videos insulted the founder of modern Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
"This site insists on rejecting to make registration for its tax liabilities or take safety licences in Turkey, which it does in any other country. We will not bow to this website which respects no law," Yildirim said.
