Turkey is having today what is one of the most important elections of its history, and you cannot just say “duh fight the decision in courts” because by that time the damage would already been done. It is important that today Turks have a medium where they can share information that is not blessed by the government. I think it is the right call. They can always change their mind in a few days

It sounds like it's been blessed by the current government as soon as an unknown set of Turkey-related content has been removed by threats from that government. I'm not sure that is better than no access to twitter at all.
