ISTANBUL, Turkey, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Hackers overtook the Web site of Turkey's leading Armenian newspaper Friday and threatened "Turkey will be cleansed," media in Istanbul reported.
The Agos site was corrupted with an image of the alleged killer of the newspaper's editor-in-chief and said there would be more of the same "if you do not fix your reporting in the way we see fit," Hurriyet reported.
"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," the hackers wrote.
Turkey and Armenia signed protocols last year agreeing to normalize relations although Armenia refuses to back down on its claim that the 1915-17 killings of Armenians was genocide.
