Update onWordPress in Turkey [1]

Submitted by Sam Bayard on Sat, 09/22/2007 - 15:08

Christopher Levinson posted a useful update [2] on the WordPress block in Turkey [3], including a copy of a letter [4] he received from Turkish embassy officials in Australia.  Apparently, the original Turkish court order in August specified that the ban would remain in place until Mr. Oktar's defamation suit is finished.  Nevertheless, the letter states that "those bloggers who have directly been affected by the ban placed on 'WordPress' can apply to Turkish courts in order to revoke the decision of 17 August 2007."  Anyone fancy a trip to Istanbul?  It's a beautiful city.
