Azerbaijan

Azerbaijani TV Attacked By Iranian Hacker

February 23, 2012

Azerbaijani state television's website has been vandalized in a hacking attack, apparently by hackers based in neighboring Iran.

Azerbaijan's Communications Ministry announced on February 23 that along with AzTV's website, the homepage of state airline AZAL was also hit by cyberattackers.

Azerbaijani officials say the attacks originated from Iran.

The attacks have taken place amid tensions between the Azerbaijani and Iranian governments.

The Islamic regime in Tehran has reportedly been displeased by friendlier links between Azerbaijan and Israel in recent months.

Azerbaijan has accused Iran of sponsoring Islamic radicals on its territory.

Ohh ya everything anti-Iranian is ok for RFE/RL. Same things have been done to government and ministry websites by Turks and their brother Turks from Azeristan, but that's not making any headline in the past years even once, or even reported once here. Since US/Israel/Turks want to start a war with Iran it's ok to put this news on here because it suits the false purposes that they need to start a war.

And yet another misinformed racist war monger!

Azeris are not Turks, as I already mentioned to your fellow propagandist, Armenian geneticists, as well as others, carried out studies which confirm most Azeris are the same group as Armenians and Georgians. This also back up the fact that Azeris are indigenous to the area.

This information is widely available on the internet, do some research before you start talking nonsense.

Why are you so eager to kill your neighbors??? You are sick!!!

Yes,dear Sergey,azeris are not turks-they are forcefully islamized armenians or kurds or any other native people who were forced to change their religion and nationality or lose their lives.The term for talking nonsense is `talking turkey`which is what you do my dear` french `effendi djan.Turkey is also the `country `which was widely known as the sick `man` of Europe,although it is neither man,nor European-they are the ones who have killed millions of arabs,armenians,assyrians,bulgarians,greek as well as their own civilians.Seems the mongol beast has taken over your pitiful soul.

Mr. Sergeuglu here we go again. Are you a Azeri propagandist or something? I told you that you buy more weapons than Armenians do. You just killed 18 year old kid by sniper. He was protecting his home from Azeris in first line at NK. It was two days ago!

Ok, so now you are also racist towards Mongolians?

You kids have something wrong in your heads?

George, seriously? NK is UN and globally recognised as Azeri land and Armenia as the illegal occupier.

But of course, anti UN and pro Iran Armenians do not care about such insignificant matters as world opinion.. they only care about stealing more land, lying, committing genocide on their neighbours and being racists. Funny enough, they then call themselves European. Such racists will never be part of Europe.

And George, Armenia would spend more money on weapons, but they can't, cause they don't have any money. All they have is Russian masters who throw them some scraps once in a while.

Alex, you have to be crazy if you think the US wants to start a war with Iran. That would mean a lot of dead Iranians, and not just the ones driving the suicide boats. The world (except for Russia) doesn't want the insane Iranian Mullas to have a nuclear weapon.

derek how do you know that armenians are taking iranian and hezbollah side, did you use this forum just so you could have an excuse writing this, your already biased and you haven't stated or backed up your bs. Out of now were armenians are taking iranian side, if we were we would give them visa free entry which we didn't and during the war they would enter our territory

I have nothing against Mongols. I am just saying they are from Mongolia and there is nothing wrong with that. They are not the original people of region. Also Armenia gets the latest technology from Russian for much less price than Azeris do. That is how important the country is.
