TURKS AND AZERIS ATTACK ARMENIAN INTERNET WEBSITES
In connection with the 90th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide the Turk and Azeri hackers more and more frequently attack the Armenian Internet sources. The Armenian forums are the main target. Hayk Asatrian who is the author of several Armenian web sites noticed the activization of attacks since late February. "They not only damage our web sites but also change the messages of the forums, " Asatrian said. For instance, he noticed that at www.genocide.com where various genocides of the world are being discussed the web page of "The Armenian Genocide" has been recently renamed into "The So-Called Armenian Genocide. Such A Thing Never Happened."
In order to protect his web sites form the attacks of the Azeri and Turk hackers, Asatrian forbade the reception of the messages from the Turkish and Azeri IPs to his sites. Asatrian receives each message sent by them and only after having read that he posts them on the Internet.
The hackers have already damaged genocide.ru, forum.hayastan.com, genocideevents.com web sites. It is almost a week that the forum of Iravounk web site doesn’t function. Hrachia Khachatrian, designer of the page found out that the hacker is an Azeri young man who is in the sphere for almost two years. "He deleted the whole information of the forum, writing curses instead." Hrachia Khachatrian said. One can easily find ways of damaging various programs in Internet. Today, the forum page of www.iravunk.com is being updated and a protection program will be installed.
The experts say that till April 24 the hackers will attack our sites more intensively. "Hacking is no way of struggle against the attacks of the Turks and Azeris for us. We need to secure our safety at state level, i.e. the government should prepare specialist of the sphere," Khachatrian said.
