Turkish authorities have lifted a ban on Twitter after a constitutional court determined it breached freedom of expression, according to a report by Reuters.

Twitter was blocked on March 21, right before local elections were set to take place after Prime Minister Tayyip Erodan vowed to "wipe out Twitter," after users spread allegations of corruption on the social media site.

"The ban has been lifted" the official from Erdogan's office said to Reuters.

YouTube remains offline in Turkey however, which the TIB blocked one week after blocking Twitter.

Legal challenges against the ban on YouTube are pending, according to Reuters.

After the court's decision was announced, President Abdullah Gul, who has publicly opposed the bans, said both websites will be made available in Turkey once again soon.

Twitter meanwhile said in a tweet that it welcomes the ruling.

The TIB will now instruct Turkey's internet providers to unblock access to the site.

This process could take to take several hours before everyone in Turkey can access the social media site once again.
