\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093Censorship in Turkey has advanced, because many were happy to see that with respect to Kurdish and Armenian Genocide issues. Now it has spread onto everything else,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d said Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, during an online Q&A session with the participants of the Internet Governance Forum in Istanbul, Turkey.<\/p>\n
Samvel Martirosyan \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009c information security expert who was invited to participate in the event \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009c said to Life.Panorama.am that Edward Snowden was also scheduled to appear online in the forum, however in the last minute he was replaced by Assange due to technical issues.<\/p>\n
\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093In general, Assange criticized internet governance methods. Then he took upon Turkey and as an example and basis of internet censorship he mentioned Kurdish and Armenian Genocide issues, open discussions on both of which are avoided (in Turkey). He underlined once again that due to the Armenian Genocide issue Turkey is trying to keep the Ottoman archives closed,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d the expert told Life.Panorama.am.<\/p>\n
According to Martirosyan, in another event entitled \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093Human rights protection on the Internet,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d an internet activist from Turkey said there was no freedom in his country, alluding to the 45.000 websites and YouTube video hosting ban. In response, a representative of the Turkish authorities tried to explain to the audience that was being done in protection of children rights in the Internet. \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093Everyone in the audience started laughing loudly at this explanation of the Turkish official. Turkey is one of very few countries where freedom of speech is in dire situation. Participants from many different countries around the globe had been very concerned of this issue,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d added Martirosyan.<\/p>\n
