  This article is a year old – but it might give you some background on what is going on – I have also seen some other articles more recent that I think cover restricted access in Turkey

  Hi there,

  @auxclass is correct that certain countries do block parts or all of our site. We do all that we can to keep our network unblocked but ultimately we do not control what they do and do not allow through their government-level firewalls.

  Though it doesn’t sound like you need it, we have a help article about bypassing such restrictions right here:
