Turkish Hackers Attack Swedish Websites in Act of Revenge

Turkish hackers have attacked the websites of a series of institutes in Sweden after its parliament narrowly (131-130) adopted a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide on March 11.

According to Turkish daily Sabah, the hackers broke into the websites of SICS, Santaanna, Viktoria and Interactive institutions, all of which conduct research projects.

Since the passage of this Genocide bill, Turkish political and public figures have been lashing out at Swedish authorities and legislators. As a sign of protest, representatives of the Turkish Workers Party placed a wreath in front of the Swedish Consulate in Izmir and announced, “Led by the United States, imperialist countries wish to divide Turkey with Genocide resolutions.”
