Access to the Instagram social network was blocked on Friday morning in Turkey by a decision of the Technology and Communications Council. The reasons and duration of the blocking are not indicated on the official website of the department, as cited by Focus.
Birgün newspaper does not exclude that the decision was made in connection with the blocking of condolences on Instagram on the occasion of the assassination of the head of the Hamas Politburo Ismail Haniyeh in Iran. The measure was condemned by the head of the communications department of the Turkish presidential administration, Fahrettin Altun.
