SWEDISH BASED ASSYRIAN NEWS SITE HACKED BY TURKS

Assyrian International News Agency

(AINA) — The website of the Eastern Star News Agency (ESNA), based
in Sweden, was hacked by Turks, according to a press release by ESNA.

The hack appears to be in retaliation for the publication of an
article by Rosie Malek-Yonan titled Genocide: Turkey’s Dark ‘Secret’
Resonating The Airwaves, which discusses the Turkish Genocide of
Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks in World War One.

Last January the website for The Crimson Field, a historical novel
by Rosie Malek-Yonan about the Turkish genocide of Assyrians in World
War One, in which 750,000 Assyrians (75%) were killed, was hacked by
a Turk, who left a message saying "Turk Defacer."

Assyrian websites have been the target of Turkish hackers. The
Assyrian Academic Society website was hacked on October 30, 2007 (AINA
10-30-2007); the "International Campaign to Support the Christians
of Iraq" website was hacked last November (AINA 11-20-2007).
