Hewitt vs Baghdatis is live now on espn. They showed a youtube video recorded last year after Austrilian open. There were some cheerings followed by Greek antheme then it turned it to be something anti-Turkish. Anybody know where that video is?

I don't know. Probably not. I saw it on ESPN this morning. It caused some upset among Turkish community in Australia they said. Is the youtube banned in Turkey?

Unfortunately that's what I heard from my friend living in Turkey. She was absolutely shocked things like this can happen in a country having talks with the EU about their perspective membership. I cannot imagine how Europe could asccept such a violation of freedom. It's a huge disappointment to me as I was quite sure of Turkey NOT being like Arabic countries with all their restrictions, I guess I was way too naive...

It happened last year as well. Im surprised it happened again, because I thought they would take the shocked reactions from European countries in consideration.. The ban was cancelled really quickly by then, but seems they have learned nothing.. It is too ridiculous to even talk about.
