RESTRICTION SUMMARY: NO ACCESS TURKEY
++A Turkish court has approved a temporary blackout requested by the country's Tourism and Culture Ministry on coverage of the blast that occurred on Sunday in Istanbul, citing public order and national security reasons.
++The order asks media organizations "to avoid broadcasts that may create fear, panic and turmoil in the society and that may serve the purposes of terrorist organizations." The ban affects imagery of the moment of the explosion, the work carried out by authorities and detailed information on victims and perpetrators. The blackout does not apply to official statements.
++This affects ALL coverage distributed inside Turkey. This material is subject to the terms of the blackout which says it should not be used in Turkey. Clients are advised to seek their own legal advice if they intend to transmit material already supplied by the AP and ongoing news coverage of this specific attack and its aftermath back into Turkey.

"We do not accept the condolences of the American embassy. We reject it. Of course, our alliance with a state that sends money from its own senate to this mentality, that feeds the terror zones in Kobani and tries to disrupt Turkey's peace, should, of course, be discussed. I am saying this clearly and precisely."

9. SOUNDBITE (Turkish) Suleyman Soylu, Turkish Interior Minister:
"In a technical wiretap after the incident, the terrorist organization's instruction was clearly aimed at killing the terrorist (person behind the bomb attack). In other words, there is a clear instruction (by the terrorist organization) saying 'either throw her from a window or throw her into a canal.' In this regard, it is clear that they planned to kill the terrorist to stop us from unravelling the entire network and preventing us from solving the reasons behind the incident."
