Turkish hacker group "Ayyıldız Tim" targets the page of Armenian linguist and scholar Sevan Nishanyan's Twitter account, "Armenpress" reports.
The Istanbul-based ethnic Armenian Nishanyan escaped from prison on July 14.
The hackers posted a video and wrote : "A stupid bird has escaped abroad and is boasting about it. In this case it is up to us to catch the bird. Greetings from Ayyıldız Tim", the hackers posted on Nishanyan's Twitter account.
Nishanyan in his turn stated on his Facebook page that his Twitter had been hacked. "I think there is a virus in my Twitter account, it is not under my control", he said.
