Azeri TV's website resumes work after alleged Armenian attack
A website of the Azerbaijani private television channel ANS has
resumed operation, the channel has said.
The TV said that the website anspress.com resumed operation at 1000
local time (0600 gmt) on 12 December. It added, however, that all
archive material dating from 22 November 2008 had been erased from the
website.
In the meantime, the website day.az quoted the ANS Press
editor-in-chief, Aytan Safarova, as saying that they were sure that
site had been hacked by Armenians. She added that the website was
operating as normal, despite minor glitches, and that they managed to
resume the operation of the website together with Americans.
On 9 December ANS said that the website had come under heavy attack by
Armenian hackers after the premiere of a movie produced by ANS
president Vahid Mustafayev. The movie, called "The Distinguished", is
about the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which are
technically at war over Nagornyy Karabakh. The Nagornyy Karabakh
region broke away from Azerbaijan in a separatist war in the early
1990s.
