21:32 • 29.12.10
The Armenian National Assembly of America (ANCA) has denied reports by Turkish media pres
s about an alleged hacker attack on ANCA's website.
In a statement relased late on Wednesday, the ACNA said its website has not been subjected to any attack and can be reached normally.
Earlier Turkish news agency Cihan reported that ANCA's website had been attacked by a group of hackers called "Code the arts" headed by a famous hacker nicknamed as Jeopardy.
The group is said to have members from Turkey, Chile and Argentine.
Cihan had also explained that the attack came as a response to ANCA's efforts for the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, as well as for the campaign it launched against US NBA superstar Kobe Brayant for advertizing the Turkish Airlines.
It also said that the hackers took control of the website for a couple of hours and placed a picture of the Turkish flag and comments in support of Bryant on the front page of ANCA's website.
The materials placed by the hackers were removed by the website's administration a few hours following the attack.
In a statement issued in mid December ANCA's Executive Director Aram Hamparian had said that Kobe's cooperation with the Turkish company supports Turkey's denialist policy.
"For Armenian Americans, Kobe's contract with Turkish Airlines is like jet fuel on the fire of Turkey's genocide denial," Hamparian had said.
"As 'global ambassador' for Turkey's state airline, he will represent a government that denies the Armenian Genocide and a company that directly supports groups like the American Turkish Council that lobby against American recognition of this crime."
