The ban against YouTube comes after an alleged audio recording of a meeting between the Turkeys foreign minister, intelligence chief and top military and Foreign Ministry officials was leaked on YouTube. The four are allegedly heard discussing a military intervention in neighboring Syria, a sensitive political issue in Turkey, although the context of the conversation is not clear. A Foreign Ministry statement said the meeting was held to discuss threats of a possible attack on a mausoleum in Syria — of the grandfather of the Ottoman Empires founder — which is considered Turkish territory and protected by Turkish troops. bigstory.ap.org/article/turkish-news-reports-government-moving-block-youtube-turkey
