Couldn't resist.

Bottleneck is TurkTelecom.  Getting bounced from one server to another, then all of a sudden straight through - that was 3/4mins ago which ties in with you being able to see TZ.  Can you see any images on site?

Back now

I haven't been able to access TZ this morning. Have been trying for half hour on three different browsers.

p.s. Hurriyet DN not a problem.

Its been available sporadically during the past couple of days, but as one of RTE's biggest critics the timing of these issues is surely not coincidental.  It appears to be visible from within TR currently, but not from outside.  TurkTelecom appear to be assisted by a Swedish company Telia, who could very well be supplying the technology allowing them censor internet content.

Recount in Antalya and ironically the AKP have asked for recount in Izmir.

There is a state of emergency on a town on Syrian border where they demanded a recount.

Halk TV now showing that in Yalova there was a miscount of 1100 in favour of AKP instead of CHP !!! Recount also going ahead in several cities including Antalya.
