	Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) was a Marxist-Leninist guerilla organization whose primary objective was to assassinate Turkish diplomats and politicians in revenge for the deaths inflicted upon the Armenians during the Armenian Genocide.
		The ASALA was founded in 1975 in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War by Hagop Tarakchian and Hagop Hagopian with the help of sympathetic Palestinians.
		The reaction to the attack led to the bombing of the church of the Armenian Apostolic Patriarchate in Istanbul on October 19 in retaliation.

	Justice Commandos Against Armenian Genocide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Justice Commandos against Armenian Genocide (JCAG) is a terrorist militant revolutionary organization that seeks to establish an independent and free Armenia and seeks recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
		JCAG differs from the other major Armenian terrorist group, the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) in two important respects: First, JCAG is primarily nationalistic rather than Marxist-Leninist.
		What little is known about the Armenian groups indicates that they were involved in factional disputes and internecine fighting since the mid-1980's, which has reduced their ability to assassinate more officials.

		ASALA is the most talked-about Armenian terrorist organization, in the new period of the Armenian terrorism between 1973 and 1985.
		First of all, it must be known that the first movements of the Armenian terrorism in the new period have emerged as a requirement of the policies and objectives of the Tashnak Armenian terrorist organization.
		ASALA's relations were arranged, in line with the strategy they were implementing, by giving a priority to the non-Armenian terrorist organizations, which were in an attempt to pose a threat, and use terrorism against Turkey.

		Asala’s activities were actually carried out by a small group of people, but due to their spectacular nature they were very successful in bringing the issue of the Armenian genocide to the forefront of international awareness.
		The establishment of Asala was a belated reaction to the Genocide the Armenian people underwent by the Turks, and an indirect result of the tranformation of Beirut into the terrorist capital during the 1970’s.

	Sobaka :: Dossier: Monte Melkonian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Turkish government, which bore the brunt of the group's violence, claimed ASALA was a front formed by militants of more respectable Armenian diaspora groups such as the Dashnaks (though it was, of course, in their interest to have as many Armenian groups as possible tarred with the brush of a terrorist organization).
		Armenia itself - then a piece of the USSR - was to be turned into the base of operations for the liberation of Mount Ararat and the rest of the motherland occupied by Turkey.
		Karabakh, a region of neighbouring Azerbaijan, had a large Armenian population and was agitating for union with the motherland when the USSR began its slow disintegration.

	ASALA: Terrorism as a Political Issue
		The roots of Asala can be traced in the accumulation of frustration resulted from the international community’s lack of interest in the Armenian genocide committed by the Turks in the course of World war I, and a tendency among western pro-Turkish scholars to deny the genocide as a historical fact.
		Asala, on the other hand, came to be seen as the basis for a widespread Armenian liberation movement.
		Asala’s terrorism had arguably had a greater ideological content and had been oriented towards discrediting the official Turkish thesis about the Armenian Genocide and persuading the international public opinion that the Turkish State has no right to rule over Turkish Armenia.

		ASALA falsely claimed that Vahradian was a victim of the MIT, the Turkish intelligence agency, when in reality he was simply killed in a bungled attempt to bomb the Kuwait Airlines office.

	Changing American View of the Armenian Question
		Further demands of the Armenian groups are for reparations to be paid to the survivors and to the heirs of the victims, the return of Western Armenian territories and independence for the Armenian homeland.
		The new Armenian question, then, is whether the survivors of the Armenian Genocide and their heirs, as well as the progeny of the victims, whether in Turkey or abroad in the Diaspora, are due acknowledgment of the wrong, restitution of material property, indemnity for their losses, and access to their homeland.
		Because of Turkish censorship and the isolation of the Armenians in the interior of Anatolia and the Syrian desert, it was not until September, 1915 that Ambassador Morgenthau requested the U.S. government to contribute $100,000 for Armenian relief.

	BakuTODAY.net - Munich 1972 — was ASALA founder Hagop Hagopyan among the terrorists?
		ASALA’s main focus has been to assassinate Turkish diplomats and innocent bystanders around the world, and provided training and inspiration to ethnic Armenian terrorism in the former Soviet Union, be it in a Moscow subway or most notably in the Karabakh war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
		Hagopian was dead of wounds suffered during a bombing by the Israeli Air Force, although it is generally believed that the mysterious leader is alive and well and presently is residing alternately in Damascus, Syria, and Athens, Greece.
		In fact, Palestinian leader, the late Yasser Arafat, was in Yerevan, capital of Armenia, twice, in 1979 and 1980 — both times on the way from Moscow, where he met with then Soviet leader Brezhnev and negotiated arms supplies to PLO (source: Tatoul Hakobian, “Father of Palestinian nationalism dies.
