In a new stage in Turkey's strife against U.S. social media companies, the Turkish government **w wants Twitter (http://mashable.com/category/twitter/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) and Facebook (http://mashable.com/category/facebook/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) to pay taxes to its treasury — despite the fact that neither have an ****** in Turkey.
All social media companies that do business in Turkey should pay taxes to the Turkish Government and have an ****** in the country, said Turkey's Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek in a press conference on Tuesday, according to news (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/15/us-turkey-twitter-idUSBREA3D0TY20140415) reports (http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303663604579503080963878804?mg=re* *64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB1000 1424052702303663604579503080963878804.html)
