In April 2014, Turkish hackers have tried to hack the Armenian Tarazupar.am site thrice. The site presents the Armenian culture, dances and folk costumes, David Harutyunyan, administrator of the site told Panorama.am.

He also has noted that, traditionally, in April the Turkish and Azerbaijani hackers are trying to break the sites containing information about Armenia.

According to David Harutyunyan, in April three attempts of illegal access to Tarazupar.am site were recorded in the name of the administrator. All of the three attacks were carried out from Turkish IP addresses: 95.5.86.111 (User hostname:
95.5.86.111.dynamic.ttnet.com. tr), 78.172.54.239 (User hostname: 78.172.54.239.dynamic.ttnet.com.tr), 78.172.57.167 (User hostname: 78.172.57.167.dynamic.ttnet.com.tr).

The site administrator noted that the Azerbaijani and Turkish hackers who carry out such kind of illegal activities, attack not only Internet resources of political nature, but also completely neutral sites - cultural, scientific, etc., which are not directly related to the policy and regional conflicts.

David Harutyunyan stressed that the site Tarazupar.am is a cultural project. It is not involved in politics, and is not engaged in covering conflicts. In this regard, the attempt of the Turkish hackers of hacking the Armenian cultural website is puzzling. "The site presents materials only about the dances and traditional costumes of Armenia," he said.

"Perhaps the Turkish nationalists do not like the fact that we gather and popularize Armenian culture in one place. However, we will pay no attention to these excesses and will continue our work," the site administrator concluded.
