Tor's site was blocked in Turkey in March 2014: http://cartography.io/

For the event described as "Iran – 2013 – TCP reset on all non-HTTP": this
was actually a traffic shaping behavior that matched TCP connections
against a whitelist (HTTP or HTTPS), if the connection did not match this
behavior, then the throughput was throttled down to 1 packet per second
after sixty seconds. Psiphon's bypass mechanism was to prepend "GET /
HTTP1.0" in front of traffic streams.
