The Turkish Telecommunications Department's decision to block Sputnik news agency's website in Turkey is a clear sign of censorship and lack of freedom of speech in the country, Sputnik's Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan said Friday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the Turkish Telecommunications Department confirmed that a decision had been made to block the Sputnik website within the country.
"The decision of the Turkish authorities to restrict access to our Sputnik [website] is another act of strict censorship in a country where the question of freedom of speech no longer exists. It is just not there. This solution looks especially absurd bearing in mind that several days ago Sputnik was marked by the award of Journalists Union of Turkey," Simonyan said.
