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 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 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.
