The number of Internet users in Turkey is estimated around 25 million, a telecommunications official said on Thursday.

Turkey first met with Internet in 1993 when the Middle East Technical University in Ankara established a connection on a leased line between the Turkish capital and Washington.

And broad band services were only introduced in early 2000s.

There are an estimated 2.5 million personal computers in Turkey and near one million Turkish domain names in the country and abroad.

 Turkey is marking the 15th anniversary of the introduction of the Internet with a week of events and promotion campaigns.
