Wikipedia had been blocked in Turkey ever since April 29, 2017, allegedly because of content in which Turkey was described as a state sponsoring terrorism. The Turkish Constitutional

been the "euro-immunity" of Junqueras. And, in this respect, the political and journalistic readings of the judicial decisions issued by the Spanish Supreme Court [...]
