LASHING OUT AT FRANCE AGAIN
A few days ago a new heading in French appeared at the
official website of Istanbul’s tourism department that
protests against the October 12 decision of France’s
National Assembly. The text full of errors announces
that "Turkey has never committed a genocide throughout
its history… the French does not have clear idea of
our European continent… and Turkey came into existence
in 1923 therefore there were neither Turks nor a
Turkish army in 1915." Such statements require no
comments.
This information was sent to the daily by Jean Eskiyan
from France. Mr. Eskiyan added that more than 900
French websites, including those of municipalities,
universities, major organizations and French-Armenian
communities, were attacked by Turkish hackers after
the October 12.
As of October 23, these websites were not restored.
The Turkish hackers got special training in 2003 and
are united under RSF (Rooting Sabotage Forced)
abbreviation.
