Narrative:
(Pilot was on break at time of incident). The aircraft; while parked on ramp; was turned 90 degrees clockwise as a result of jetblast from a taxiing air carrier aircraft. The aircraft 'hopped' the chocks; coming to rest 90 degrees from its initial position. The incident was reported to me by ramp agent and 2 pilots witnessing the event.aircraft restricting power usage during pushback/taxi. Alternatively; a pushback to a position that would not put jet blast in danger of damaging other aircraft.
