Turkey restores YouTube access

Turkey is restoring access to YouTube after the video-sharing website removed the videos that prompted the officials to block access in the first place.

The website said that it has removed the videos a prosecutor deemed insulting to Turkey's founding father, who established the country after collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

Turkey has blocked access to the website in the past, due to clips allegedly insulting Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who died 70 years ago. They allowed access again after the disputed videos were removed.
