Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations in France (CCAF)
strongly condemned a hacker attack on the website of French-Armenian
Council on the night of July 26-27, writes Nouvelles dArmenie.
The home page was replaced with a portrait of the founder of the
Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk on a black background,
accompanied by intolerable music.
According to a CCAF investigation, the website was cracked by a
hacker who is famous on the web and openly boasts of his “deeds”
in his profile on a famous social networking website.
“Let’s not make hasty conclusions, but the attack was carried out
on the day when a verdict against the main suspect in the murder of
Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was delivered.
It is not for the first time that a website belonging to the
Armenian organizations in France and in Armenia becomes the target of
unlawful actions of criminals who are driven by Turkish-Azerbaijani
ultranationalist sentiments or at least by anti-Armenian moods. CCAF
does not rule out filing a lawsuit against the criminals,” reads the
statement issued by the organization.
