The site is inaccessible and displays a message that links the hackers to the ideology of the Gray Wolves, a Turkish ultranationalist movement which was dissolved by the government in November 2020.

However, if you wish to wage a campaign against the Gray Wolves, we will not stop our attacks on your government sites.” A swastika and the Gray Wolves logo appear in particular on this page.
