The court was acting on the recommendation of a prosecutor, who was himself apparently prompted by an escalating war of homemade YouTube videos created by ethnic Greeks and Turks, who antagonized one another with clips featuring images of Ataturk as hero or fool, the flinging of insults, and spurious incantations like “Ataturk is gay."(I think this is a TimesSelect link.)
ADDED: "Spurious Incantations" would be a good name for a blog. "Ataturk Is Gay," not so much.
