Turkey officials lift ban on Twitter

The Turkish authorities have lifted a ban on Twitter following Wednesday's constitutional court ruling, officials and media reports say.

The court had told the country's telecommunication authorities the two-week-old ban must be lifted as it was a breach of freedom of expression.

It may take a couple of hours for full access to Twitter to be restored.

Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan had vowed to "wipe out Twitter" after users spread allegations of corruption.
