Istanbul: Turkey's Internet watchdog has blocked access to the WikiLeaks website in Turkey, it said, after the whistleblower organisation released nearly 3,00,000 emails from the ruling AK Party.

The Telecommunications Communications Board said that an "administrative measure" had been taken against the website - the term it commonly uses when blocking access to sites.
