ISTANBUL: Turkey has indefinitely shut off access to several Google services including Google Docs.

Turkey's Telecommunications Communication Presidency released an official statement Friday, saying it has blocked access to some Google IP (Internet Protocol) addresses "because of legal reasons", Xinhua reported.

Some Google applications may be completely inaccessible or take a long time to load, the statement said.

Translation and document-sharing tools are among the other Google sites barred in Turkey. Popular video-sharing website YouTube is also banned in the country, for alleged insults against Turkey's founder.

    What a silly thing i can not believe that!!!!

    In my university we can not access youtube(we tried all the ways),facebook, and we can not access google applications.

    Sometimes we use chinese, japanese,russian websites and their alphabets are different then latin-alphabet.
    And now we can not use google translator.

    We are really angry with that,
    for youtube we change dns's and than we can access, but for google this does not work.
