Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy issued this statement:
"The ban on the social platform
Twitter.com in Turkey raises grave concerns and casts doubt on Turkey's
stated commitment to European values and standards.
Freedom of expression, a
fundamental right in any democratic society, includes the right to
receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public
authority. Citizens must be free to communicate and choose freely the
means to do it. This obviously includes access to the internet.
Open debate promotes
transparency and accountability and ultimately reinforces democracy;
such debate needs to be strengthened everywhere, including in Turkey."
