The block of Wikipedia lifted in Turkey

After the Constitutional Court's decision in December 2019, overruling the initial ban, Turkish authorities granted users access to Wikipedia on late Wednesday.

The online encyclopedia Wikipedia had been blocked in Turkey since April 2017. Turkish authorities blocked online access to all its language editions throughout the country on 29 April 2017.

Wikimedia Foundation welcomed the decision in a written statement on Thursday.

"We are thrilled that the people of Turkey will once again be able to participate in the largest global conversation about the culture and history of Turkey online and continue to make Wikipedia a vibrant source of information about Turkey and the world," the statement said.
