Turkey's attempt to block access to Twitter appeared to backfire on Friday with many tech-savvy users circumventing the ban and suspicions growing that the prime minister was using court orders to suppress corruption allegations against him and his government.

Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan: ‘We’ll eradicate Twitter’

Canadian veteran soldier Gary Best who has served with the United Nations Peacekeeping force on war-divided Cyprus stands in front of an abandoned passenger aircraft, at the derelict Nicosia airport located inside the UN-controlled buffer zone on the capital's outskirts on Tuesday, March 18, 2014. A gutted Cyprus Airways Trident passenger jet a stone’s throw away from the terminal serves a reminder of the fierce battles that had raged there in July, 1974. Advancing Turkish forces had tried to seize the strategically important airport on the capital’s western outskirts, hours in to their invasion of Cyprus that was triggered by a coup aimed at uniting the island with Greece. Canadian soldiers then serving with the United Nations Peacekeeping force in Cyprus _ or UNFICYP _ helped repel the advance. Since then, it’s been the force’s headquarters midway through a 180 kilometer (112 mile) buffer zone that splits this ethnically divided island into a breakaway Turkish Cypriot north and a internationally recognized, Greek Cypriot south.
