It was 2017 that the Turkish state stripped all access to the digital encyclopedia Wikipedia on the pretext that Wikipedia should have refused to remove content promoting terrorism and accused Turkey of cooperating with terrorist groups.
Since then, Wikipedia has been down in the country.
On Thursday, the Constitutional Court of Turkey, which has the task of checking whether laws are in violation of the Constitution, struck down that the country's blockade is non-constitutional and violates freedom of expression. The court demands that the ban be lifted immediately.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales commented on the decision on Twitter. "Welcome back, Turkey," Wales wrote in a tweet on Thursday.
Turkey has previously temporarily blocked access to social media and to websites with regime-critical content, according to the BBC.
