After learning that the Azerbaijani government is planning a gay parade before the Eurovision competition, hackers decided to protest against the decision, so they breached eurovisionaz.com, the official site dedicated to the singing contest.

“Ignoring its people’s honor and morals, Azerbaijan’s ruling regime is trying to spread ungodly (sinful) thoughts, and plans to arrange a parade of the [expletive]-s before the eurovision sound contest 2012,” the hackers said.

“For that reason, ‘The Azerbaijan Cyber Fighters’ group decided to do a cyber-strike against the websites supporting this unethical act.”

The organizers of Eurovision in Azerbaijan have confirmed that the site has been hacked, and apparently this is not the first time. Users who want to access eurovisionaz.com are taken to the event’s Facebook page.

Azerbaijan Cyber Fighters also claimed to have breached the official site of Eurovision (eurovision.tv), but currently the website seems to be functioning properly.
