Eropah kerana melanggar kebebasan akhbar.
"Selepas
analisis teknikal dan pertimbangan undang-undang berdasarkan undang-undang Nr.

Russia’s
Sputnik news website abruptly blocked in Turkey after ‘legal consideration’ . . .
Russian
state news agency website Sputnik has been shut down by Turkey without prior
notification under “administrative measures” imposed by the country’s
authorities. Turkey was recently slammed in the European Parliament for
violating press freedoms.
“After
technical analysis and legal consideration based on the law Nr. 5651,
administration measure has been taken for this website (sputniknews.com)
according to decision Nr. 490.05.01.2016.-56092 dated 14/04/2016 of the Presidency
of Telecommunication and Communication,” says an error message that appears on
the sputniknews.com homepage for any user trying to access the site from
Turkey.
Sputnik’s
Turkish bureau chief Tural Kerimov said that the Turkish authorities had failed
to notify the agency of any alleged violations in advance of the abrupt
blocking.
“We
received no notifications, warnings or other messages from the competent
authorities. No communications have been received since the blocking,” he said.
The problems with sputniknews.com were first reported at about 7:50pm local
time.
Jabatan
Telekomunikasi dan Komunikasi balas kepada permintaan laman web untuk
mendapatkan penjelasan dengan mengatakan bahawa "kerana ia sudah lewat dan
tidak ada orang yang bertanggungjawab [ada], kami tidak dapat memberikan komen
mengenai isu ini." Komen lanjut dijangka datang pada Tarikh kemudian.
Langkah
yang tidak dapat dijelaskan datang pada tumit daripada resolusi EU pada Khamis,
yang mengecam apa yang mereka namakan "backsliding serius terhadap
kebebasan asasi," termasuk pertumbuhan pertempuran di tenggara Turki dan
kerajaan "ganas dan menyalahi undang-undang pengambilalihan beberapa
akhbar termasuk Zaman."
The
Department of Telecommunications and Communication responded to the website
request for clarification by saying that “because it is already late and there
are no responsible persons [available], we cannot provide comment on this
issue.” Further comments are expected to come at a later date.
The
unexplained move comes on the heels of an EU resolution on Thursday, which
denounced what they called a “serious backsliding on fundamental freedoms,”
including the growth of clashes in the southeast of Turkey and government’s
“violent and illegal take-over of several newspapers including Zaman.”

Kerajaan
Turki Presiden Erdogan telah mengetatkan kawalan ke atas beberapa media Turki
mengkritik dasar-dasar kerajaan Ankara,
bagaimanapun, ini adalah kali pertama sebuah agensi berita antarabangsa telah
disenyapkan.
Turki
telah banyak menyekat Twitter dan Facebook lebih daripada sekali, menahan
wartawan asing menuduh keganasan mereka,
namun salah satu episod yang paling mengejutkan penapisan Turki setakat ini
telah serbuan ke atas ibu pejabat Zaman Hari ini pada bulan Mac, yang
digambarkan sebagai "satu tindakan yang sama sekali tidak bertamadun
"oleh bekas ketua pengarang Bulent Kenes.
"Kuasa
kerajaan [di Ankara] boleh digunakan untuk menyekat apa-apa pendapat, termasuk
Sputnik atau pendapat dalam negeri, kerajaan tidak mahu mendengar,"
profesor sejarah sosial dan politik di Universiti Michigan Ronald G. Suny
memberitahu RT, yang menerangkan "kempen keras" terhadap wartawan di
Turki.
"Terdapat
kempen keras sebenar akhir-akhir ini terhadap wartawan, terhadap aktivis
politik, terhadap ahli akademik, orang-orang yang telah menandatangani petisyen
itu cuba untuk mendapatkan kerajaan Turki untuk menghentikan perang kejam
mereka terhadap orang Kurdis di Tenggara Turki," kata Suny. Majlis
menandatangani petisyen itu oleh wartawan, ahli akademik dan intelektual
"telah dilihat oleh kerajaan, dalam satu langkah yang melampau dan sangat
ruam, kerana pengkhianatan . . ."
The
Turkish government of President Erdogan has clamped down on a number of Turkish
media outlets critical of Ankara government’s policies, however, this is the
first time an international news agency has been silenced.
Turkey
has more blocked Twitter and Facebook more than once, arrested foreign
journalists accusing them of terrorism, yet one of the most shocking episodes
of Turkish censorship so far has been the raid on the Today’s Zaman
headquarters in March, described as “a totally barbaric act” by its ex-editor
in chief Bulent Kenes.
“The
government power [in Ankara] can be used to supress any opinion, including
Sputnik or domestic opinion, the government doesn’t want to hear,” professor of
social and political history at the University of Michigan Ronald G. Suny told
RT, describing the “harsh campaign” against journalists in Turkey.
“There’s
been a real harsh campaign lately against journalists, against political
activists, against academicians, people who have signed the petition trying to
get the Turkish government to stop their brutal war against the Kurds in
Southeastern Turkey,” Suny added. The signing of the petition by journalists,
academicians and intellectuals “has been seen by the government, in an extreme
and very rash move, as treason…”

Presiden
Turki adalah salah satu daripada pemimpin-pemimpin yang menolak sebarang
kritikan dan "rasa dihina olehnya," Suny percaya, dengan mengatakan
bahawa aduan jenayah Erdogan sebagai tindak balas kepada puisi menyindir
mengenai beliau ditulis oleh pelawak Jerman hanya membuktikan kes itu.
"Setiap
ahli politik perlu mengambil pukulan, yang datang dengan wilayah. Fikirkan
Presiden Obama - betapa dia teraniaya, atau Putin juga. Jadi Erdogan adalah
tidak berbeza tetapi dia bertindak balas begitu garang. Satira ini, lagu ini
lucu yang benar-benar menakjubkan dan agak kelakar . . . baginya ia terlalu
dekat dengan tulang."
"[Erdogan]
telah reaksi berlebihan, memanggil Duta Jerman, meletakkan tekanan ke atas
Canselor Merkel entah bagaimana menarik balik perkara ini . . . Itu akan
menjadi bertentangan dengan Perlembagaan Jerman. Ia bukan cara
kerajaan-kerajaan demokrasi berfungsi dan ia tidak akan berlaku."
The
Turkish President is one of those leaders who reject any criticism and “feel
humiliated by it,” Suny believes, saying that Erdogan’s criminal complaint as a
response to a satirical poem about him written by a German comedian only proves
the case.
“Every
politician has to take blows, that comes with the territory. Think of President
Obama – how much he is abused, or Putin as well. So Erdogan is no different and
yet he’s reacted so fiercely. This satire, this funny song which is really
amazing and quite hilarious… it’s too close to the bone for him.”
“[Erdogan]
has overreacted, calling in the German ambassador, putting pressure on
Chancellor Merkel to somehow withdraw this thing…That would be against the
Constitution of Germany. It’s not the way democratic governments work and it’s
not going to happen.”
