If this letter has been covered before I didn't find it on our excellent forum search facility but sorry if it's a repeat.

An interesting issue, details here:

I was moved to write to my MEP and if you are too, it is easy to do from here:

You will get a confirmation email requiring a response or your email will not be sent.

Mine went to Mike Nattrass, Liz Lynne, Malcolm Harbour, Michael Cashman and
Neena Gill, my local MEPs.

The turkish government is in denial about a lot of things. They deny a genocide. It doesn't suprise me that they censor webpages.

Government of Turkey - somewhat bad.

Internet censorship - very bad.

Armenian genocide - controversial war-related event that is neither black nor white (things rarely are).
