    TURKISH NATIONALISTS THREATEN WITH NEW OGUN SAMASTS AND NEW HRANT DINKS

    ArmInfo. The Web site for Turkey's leading Armenian newspaper was
    hacked in the early hours on Friday.

    Hackers identifying themselves as "AK Hacker" overtook the Agos
    Web site and put up an image of Ogun Samast, the alleged murderer
    of the former editor in chief of the daily, Hrant Dink. The image
    was accompanied by a text that criticized opposition to the ruling
    party and stated the act of hacking was "an action that will go on
    to spread like poison to others who oppose the current powers."

    The note also made a chilling threat given the murder of Hrant Dink:
    "If you do not fix your reporting in the way we see fit, there will
    be new Ogun Samasts and new Hrant Dinks."

    Here's a translation of the full text on the hacked site:

    "You either love or you leave it. Or like the traitor Hrant, you die
    and disappear. You are you. You know yourself as much as we know you.

    You lived through what you deserved and it will continue as such.

    This act take on behalf of the Turkish flag, which is not on your Web
    site, and in the name of the Turkish Republic, will continue to spread
    like poison to others who oppose the current powers and everyone who
    opposes will be affected as such. If you do not change your articles
    and your words and your actions along the lines that we see fit,
    then there will be new Ogun Samasts and new Hrant Dinks.

    Thinking you're smart is your biggest ignorance. Just as the traitors
    who have given up their Turkishness will one day be expelled from the
    borders of this country, Turkey will be cleansed thanks to the current
    powers in Turkey and all slander campaigns will be unsuccessful and
    inconclusive from now on.

    "GAME OVER!

    To recall, Hrant Dink was assassinated in Istanbul in January 2007,
    by Ogun Samast, a 17-year old Turkish nationalist. At his funeral,
    two hundred thousand mourners marched in protest of the assassination,
    chanting "We are all Armenians" and "We are all Hrant Dink". Dink was
    best known for advocating Turkish-Armenian reconciliation and human
    and minority rights in Turkey; he was often critical of both Turkey's
    denial of the Armenian Genocide, and of the Armenian diaspora's
    campaign for its international recognition.[1][2] Dink was prosecuted
    three times for denigrating Turkishness, while receiving numerous
    death threats from Turkish nationalists. Criticism of Article 301
    became increasingly vocal after his death, leading to parliamentary
    proposals for repeal.
