A Google outage in Türkiye left core services non-functional, with users saying search queries failed to return results and pages froze.
Social media posts indicated broader access issues to Google servers nationwide. Google has not issued a statement. YouTube, owned by Google, was also inaccessible in Türkiye.
People in Türkiye reported that Google services were not working and that access to Google servers could not be established. Some users said searches initiated on Google did not deliver results and pages stalled.
Some users reported problems reaching Google services in Türkiye, Bulgaria, Greece, Georgia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Armenia, the Netherlands, and Germany. The Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency (AA) reports that Google services are down in some countries, primarily across Southeastern Europe.
Turkish Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Omer Fatih Sayan made a statement on the issue and said: "Google is experiencing an outage affecting Android and related services in Türkiye and the European region. Our National Cyber Incident Response Center has requested a technical report from Google regarding the cause of the outage.
"We are closely monitoring the situation," he added.
As of 10:57 a.m, Türkiye time, access to Google services has been restored.
Google has not yet made a statement regarding the cause of the outage.
