AN ATTEMPT TO HACK THE SITE OF "YERKIR" UNION OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS FOR REPATRIATION AND SETTLEMENT

On July 25, 2006 the site of `Yerkir' Union of Non-Governmental
Organizations for Repatriation and Settlement at www.yerkir.org was
hacked by some Turkish hackers. While trying to open one of the
sections of the site visitors would find Turkish flag with the picture
of Ataturk on it.

Fortunately, at this moment the site is restored and functioning
properly.

`Yerkir' Union considers this act as a hooliganism aimed at hindering
the activity of our Organization. Such a mean methods are not proper
for the citizens of the country considering itself as a democratic
state and applying for the EU membership.
