Turkey's PM wants Twitter ban reinstated

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan wants the ban on micro blogging site be reinstated.

Last Thursday, Turkey decided to lift a two-week ban on the microblogging site, after a ruling by the country's constitutional court found the ban to be a violation of free speech and individual rights.

However, Erdogan unhappy with the decision said that the constitutional court's ruling on Twitter did not serve justice.

According to CNET, on Tuesday, at a parliamentary meeting of his AK Party, he added that this ruling should be corrected.

The Turkish government banned Twitter for the country's 76 million citizens on March 20 following actions by Erdogan.

Turkey's telecommunication authority BTK claimed that Twitter was blocked only after citizens complained of breaches in privacy.

However, critics of Erdogan said the ban was politically motivated.

A fervent critic of social networks, Erdogan vowed to 'wipe out' the site in the aftermath of a political corruption scandal that gave a bad name to the government in media.
