Story highlights Turkish deputy PM calls publishing pictures of Mohammed "open incitement and provocation"

A newspaper that published parts of Charlie Hebdo was blockaded by police, got death threats

Protesters were arrested in front of Cumhuriyet's offices, CNN Turk reports

(CNN) A Turkish court Wednesday banned website pages that show the new cover of Charlie Hebdo, the country''s semiofficial news agency Anadolu reported. A newspaper that included images of the cover received death threats.

The developments came as Deputy Prime Minister Yalcin Akdogan wrote on Twitter, "Those who are publishing figures referring to our supreme Prophet are those who disregard the sacred." Such a move is "open incitement and provocation," he added.

Turkey is home to 82 million people, 99.8% of whom are Muslim, according to the CIA World Factbook.

The French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo's new cover contains what it calls a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed holding a sign saying "Je suis Charlie." The caption says "All is forgiven" in French.

It comes a week after Islamist terrorists killed 12 people at the paper's offices.
