Constitutional Court's website back online

While Turkey was debating the Instagram ban, the Constitutional Court (AYM) had announced that it had annulled the powers of the Presidency's Directorate of Communications that could interfere with freedom of the press and expression. It was emphasized that the decision was taken within the scope of fundamental rights and freedoms that cannot be regulated by a Presidential Decree.

The post published on the subject from the Constitutional Court's official social media account was deleted shortly after, and it was subsequently observed that the Constitutional Court's website could not be accessed.
