Turkey's top court today ruled that a blanket ban on the popular video-sharing site YouTube violated individual rights and freedoms, local media reported.

YouTube has been banned in Turkey since March 27 after the site was used to spread audio recordings in which the voices of senior government, military and intelligence officials can be heard weighing possible military action inside war-torn Syria.

The court decision is "binding" and access to YouTube could be granted in the coming hours, the private NTV television channel reported.
