Strategic Implications Of The Armenian Genocide Of 1915

"The fact that the French Senate recently passed a bill criminalizing denial of Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire, and I take as a result of the armed struggle of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) and the blood shed by our colleagues," - said in an interview with "The interlocutor of Armenia," the commander group "Yeghia Keshishian" Vazgen Sislyan.

- A little more than thirty years ago, your group has been carried out campaign "Van" to capture the Turkish consulate in Paris. In the last days of January 1984 the trial took place over you and the rest of this campaign, which, as noted when journalists from the "trial of the Armenians" became a "Court of the Armenians."
. . .

However, France has become one of the first countries to recognize the Armenian genocide, and now introduces criminal penalties for denying the genocide. How do you feel when comparing these dates and events?

- Empower. Pride, because I know that we at one time played an important role in what is now happening. We have made a contribution. But it's not in my personal assessment - more importantly, how to assess the Armenian people, our participation in all this. What matters is that each of the Armenians felt his involvement in the overall success and victory - someone a little more, some less.

Reference: September 24, 1981 four young Armenians 20-24 years, armed with pistols and machine guns, captured the Turkish Consulate in Paris, took 60 hostages at the same time. During the shooting, was killed by one of the Turkish guards, injuring two soldiers and the vice-consul. Directed action "Van" Vazgen Sislyan, and the group consisted of ASALA fighters Gevorg Gyuzelyan, Aram Basmadzhyan, Hagop Dzhulfayan. During the operation, "Van" ASALA filed Turkish state the specific policy requirements as a condition to complete the operation.

- The trial of the parties to the transaction "Van" is sometimes compared to a court of Soghomon Teyleryanom, which is March 15, 1921 in Berlin shot the shot at one of the main organizers of the Armenian Genocide, the former Interior Minister Talaat Pasha. As a result, the judicial inquiry of the jury trial in Berlin of the 2nd instance carried Teyleryanu acquittal. How would you feel about this analogy?

- Judging by the resonance in the society, it is possible that the comparison is appropriate. However, it should be noted that Soghomon Tehliryan acted as a witness to the barbaric killings and massacres. In other words, it was an action of the avenger. And the operation is "Van" was not an act of revenge. The motives of our actions were of a different nature - we put forward political demands, such as recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the return of occupied lands, the release of the Turkish prison Armenian priests Manvel Erkatyana Gyuzelyana and Grant together with a number of Kurdish leaders. We advocated the right of the Armenian people to live on their land - in the United Armenia.

- It is known that the chairman of the court forbade trial participants to call the accused terrorists by requiring use of the term combattan (fighters). How do you explain this?

- My friends in the fight for 15 hours held hostage and surrendered only after the police assured that we will be on the political process. I was injured and stayed at the consulate around 7:00, and then surrendered to authorities and was taken to hospital where he was 5-6 days in an unconscious state, I was hooked to a respirator. In the future, already in the course of preliminary investigation, we are in a maximum security prison, Fleury Merozhis resorted to a 15-day hunger strike, of which 8 - without water, to remind the authorities of this promise. We recognized the political prisoners. I think that our behavior with the hostages during the operation "Van", and then the presentation on the process still demonstrated that the defendants were not murderers or thugs, and the ideological warriors who defend the interests of its people.

- Your process made Manushian Meline, a widow of national hero in France Misak Manushyan, letters were read by Charles Aznavour and Henri Verneuil, revealing anti-Armenian policy of the Turkish authorities. The court heard the testimony of survivors of the genocide. In the words of the presiding officer "defendants, stand up!" All Armenians were in the room stood up. Diaspora in need of heroes - in your face?

- It seems to me that the operation of "Van" has led to a surge of patriotic feeling in the Armenian community, but most importantly - it has contributed to cohesion. Here is an example of hard-hitting and such. When it became known that we have captured the consulate, the Armenian parties were quick to respond to demonstrations and processions. However, if, for example, the party "Hnchak" and left-wing forces were moving along any one route, the ARF "ARF" have preferred to lead his party members on other streets, it does not interfere with other parties. Only a month after the events of all political forces held a joint meeting.

In general, I would like to note that the need for ASALA was dictated by the passivity of the traditional Armenian parties and political leaders, the main activities and efforts which at the time were aimed at solving the problems of its own self-preservation. In my opinion, diaspora, and especially our generation was on the verge of losing national identity. While I have the impression that the Armenians have any form of protest manifested only on April 24. However, this date - just a commemoration of the victims of genocide, whereas for all other 364 days is necessary to remind the world about our just demands. In the end, there was a genocide, and nothing good is to live by these tragic memories. But it happened, it has fallen on our head, so why can not we be the masters of our requirements?

- And even at the cost of the explosion at Orly airport July 15, 1983, in which eight people were killed and 55 people were injured? After all, there is absolutely innocent people suffered.

- Maybe, I agree with you. But these were the stages of the struggle. If all the action was limited to only the "Van", it is possible that many would never understand the meaning of our struggle. Note that the shares of ASALA had three goals. First, Turkey should realize that the Armenians will not be silent and accept what happened in 1915. Secondly, the world would know what a terrible tragedy happened to our people, and it was time to stop the policy of silence. Third, the Diaspora should wake up and intensify their efforts. With specific regard to the action at Orly airport, I often ask this question, and I can only say - it is possible that on-site Varoujan Karapetian would be me.

- When you were in prison, Fleury-Merozhis, one of the participants in the operation of "Van" Aram Basmadzhyan committed suicide. After so many years did you learn or understand, why did this happen - almost a year before the release?

- Sometimes I hear is that it is better to sit in a French prison than live in the wild in Armenia. Can talk only to those who have not experienced the psychological pressure of French intelligence. Yes, our solitary cells were located nearby, on the same floor. It is unlikely that anyone April 12, 1985, roughly speaking, stuck his head in a noose our friend - in the truest sense of the word. It was his second and final attempt. For the first time the guards noticed raised a fuss, let us out of the camera, so we convinced Aram not to make his plans. Then succeeded, and then - no. He is buried in Paris at Pere Lachaise cemetery.

Behind all this, in my opinion, there were attempts to debunk and discredit our way of ideological fighters. After all, if we all took the Diaspora, it was not such that anyone strongly objected to the protesters, "Wang." In the address of ASALA, however, some negative statements were heard, but not in connection with our operation. Wide publicity, rallying the Diaspora, the destruction of the evil terrorist usual stereotype - it was not on hand to the French authorities. That is why the security forces and sought methods of impact - psychological, medical, or any else to make us mentally unstable people. As they say, to break us, and then publicly declare: "This is your ideological fighters .." I make this conclusion based on everything that happened to me to see and experience over the years spent in prison.

- Something has changed in your views and principles for the past three decades? After all, life is different, someone finds a new field for their strength and knowledge that are youthful enthusiasm, and the metamorphosis taking place with ideas.

- January 20, we celebrated the 37th anniversary of the ASALA. Gathered without too much pomp, no ads, none of the officials did not attend. But the main goal was to understand how we are in demand in society - mostly from young people. Talked about ideological issues. It turned out that kind of message that we joined 30 years ago, continues to serve as the basis for the cementing of our meetings. It lies at the basis of social organization "UGT Ararat" ("Vow of Ararat"), which comprises the majority of former fighters ASALA.

By the way, three years ago, met with us Spanish journalist Jose Antonio Gurriaran, who became disabled after a bomb explosion in Madrid December 29, 1980. After this action ASALA he read about two hundred books about Armenia, its history, culture and art. As he told us, that led him to understand that in relation to the Armenian people was made far greater injustice than in relation to him. On his impressions, he wrote his first book "The Bomb", and last year published his new book, called "Armenians. The forgotten genocide. " The purpose of this book is consonant with our - blow up a wall of silence, to tell the truth about one of the most horrible crimes committed against humanity. It was not the first meeting of the writer and publicist with ASALA. At this time Gurriarana interest - was dictated by our return in the early 90s to Armenia from all over the world, or the decision of ASALA, each of us went back for their own reasons. When it became clear that each of us made the decision independently, but in the end it was almost a collective, very surprised.

For me personally, nothing surprising in this, as we all believe in one idea, and she once again brought us together. And in another soil, we could not settle down, I know for sure.

- Do you have some facilities in Armenia?

- No. However, we never wanted to do so. Personally, I feel fine - despite all the hardships of life in Armenia. It is a pity that sometimes me and my colleagues have to listen to criticisms that ASALA not want to put things in order and confirm the validity of Armenia. But we have other problems. That is to release Armenian lands - this is part of our program, even though our age.

- Does it follow from your words that ASALA is not disbanded, as previously stated, and continues to operate?

- I'm certainly not the press secretary of the secret army, but the question is always answered as follows. The policy positions, ASALA stated that the organization will be disbanded only when Armenia will be returned to the occupied territories, and the Armenian people will live in their historic land. And if the moment does not hold shares of ASALA, it does not mean that it is not.

ASALA - Reckoning

We are tired of the fact that the Armenian people's interests are sacrificed to the geopolitical games of the United States.

The events at the end of last year, with pain in the hearts of Armenians around the world. Too obvious a process of ignoring our national interests by global powers. After the incident, I turned to the representatives of our diaspora residing in different countries, in order to find out how they are resolute in upholding the ideas in whose name lives every Armenian.

And today, I would like to give a generalized view of the Armenians living in different states, which in one voice say: the world seems begun to forget how dangerous it is to flirt with us, however fraught ignore our just demands, but we can quickly recall how wrong this policy.

We can already say that the Armenians all over the world held responsible for what might happen in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, USA, France and other countries around the world - on the governments of these countries, forcing us to resort to the most extreme methods of waging war of liberation and restoration of historical justice.

They still have time to think again, to save their fellow citizens from the penalties that will fall on those whom the authorities of these countries sacrifice reluctance to understand how we are resolute in their desire to achieve their goals. Time has already begun its inexorable countdown.

Not to say that manual states against which will be sent to all the power of our revenge, do not understand that retaliation would take place. For example, the Turkish embassy around the world have already received from the ASALA, which diplomats suggested to be cautious. We have done their job - have warned.

I am sure that a simple analysis of what led ignoring our warnings, Turkey must bring the most serious thought. The same Prime Minister Erdogan is too went into the role of anti-Armenian, and it has long been crying a bullet true patriots of our nation.

According to the present Armenian patriots, the same fate is destined for the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev - it's time to stop at the root of the illusion of our opponents on the likelihood that the historically sacred Armenian lands of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) can again be part of this state. We are already tired of the order of speech of the Azerbaijani side, threatening to launch a military operation against the Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh). We are able to move the field of war to the streets of Baku and Kirovabad, sinking the population of these cities in the blood and fear.

This will be the signal for the American fosterling, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili. If he had not voluntarily go to the restoration of historical justice in Dzhavhke, which is an ancient Armenian land, which is long overdue return to its true owners, then we will have to compel him to do so, shares of our patriots in Tbilisi and Batumi.

The representatives of our community in one voice declare that it is time to show the full force of our resentment and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who likes to work too much language, fulfilling the whims of his wife, that as the wife of the President could accept only France with its tradition of courtesans in the construction of favorite kings. We are from France needs a clear and firm assurance that she would do everything to ensure that Turkey has paid compensation to the descendants of victims of genocide in cash and historic Armenian territories, now forming part of the Turkish state.

We need that France has provided formal financial assistance to the people of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh), proving that it is on our side, not on the side of merchants gas and oil from Azerbaijan.
If M. Sarkozy did not understand himself, we remember him. it is easy to fly into the air airports, how vulnerable diplomatic missions in Turkey, how are readily available heads of retaliation of the French state, representatives of embassies of France in the world.

To understand the seriousness of the consequences of ignoring the demands of our people and to President Barack Obama. We are tired of waiting for him recognition from the U.S. Genocide. We are tired of the fact that the Armenian people's interests are sacrificed to the geopolitical games of the United States. We are tired of sponsoring congressmen and senators, who promised us a peaceful way to achieve our goals.

We are tired of watching how the U.S. government ignores our interests by appointing an ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza, in order to cajole Baku, which is very necessary in the light of the White House of his plans against Iran. They do not understand in the U.S. and the peacefulness of our patience?

They will understand when we show them all the power and strength of our retaliation, in comparison with which September 11, 2000 they will seem child's play of teenage hooligans.

God knows we have suffered too long and waited. Now it's time to remind myself. This must be done in order to pay tribute to victims of genocide in order to strengthen the position of the current generation of the Armenian diaspora around the world as well - for future generations of Armenians, who will build the great Armenia. Build, with the support of the leading countries of the world, which should be based on fear of retaliation from our side.

ASALA STORY
Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA)

"Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia" was formed in 1975 in Lebanon, in response to historical injustice and impunity of the organizers of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 - failure to recognize the Genocide by Turkey and the occupation of Western Armenia. Main purpose is to restore the historical territory of Armenia, which includes eastern Turkey, northern Iran, Javakhk, Artsakh, Soviet Armenia (now the sovereign). armed action motivated by the need to force Turkey to recognize the Armenian genocide during World War II. January 19, 1995 ASALA issued a statement in which, commenting on the conditions of its creation, said that after 60 years after the Armenian genocide, Armenian youth, losing hope, "the conquest of their national rights" peacefully "forced to chose the path of armed struggle" to liberate Western Armenia, and for nearly two decades, "has consistently fought against Turkish tyranny, reviving the question of the Armenian lands" .

Prior to the official formation of ASALA in 1975, there were individual acts of: in 1972 the mining of the mailbox at the Turkish Embassy, January 27, 1973 in Santa Barbara (USA) at the "Baltimore" 78-year-old Gurgen Yanikyan, miraculously escaped during the genocide, 13 shots kills Turkish consul and vice consul. He was arrested, but later, because of age, was released, in 1974 in Beirut explosion in the Turkish Embassy. backbone ASALA were young patriots, who, inspired act Yanikyana create an organization named in honor of the latter - "Yanikyana Order," which was renamed after a few months in the Armenian Secret Army Liberation of Armenia. One of the founders of ASALA was Hakob Hakobyan, "Mujahid" (Harutyun Tagushyan (1951-1988)), and later murdered in the doorway of his home in Athens on April 28, 1988.

The beginning of the ASALA attack is January 20, 1975 at the "World Church Congress." Initially, the organization undertook attacks against Turkish diplomats in order to achieve a solution to the "Armenian Question", ie Turkish recognition of the historical fact of Armenian genocide. In a subsequent series of operations launched against the representatives of Western countries supporting Turkey and ASALA militants holding in custody.

October 3, 1980, after a premature bomb explosion at the Geneva hotel, were first arrested by members of ASALA - Alec and Susie Enigomshyan Mahseredzhyan. A year later, he died of cancer Hagop Taragchyan in 1975-80 years. carried out the dozens of bombings in Turkey. Among the best known attacks ASALA - 15 chasavoy capture of the Turkish consulate in Paris (24.09.1981), the seizure of the airport "Esenboga" in Ankara (07/08/1982), the explosion in the covered market in Istanbul (06.16.1983), the explosion of the Turkish Branch of the airport "Charles de Gaulle "in Paris (1983), a series of four explosions in Tehran (March 1984) and others. The magazine "Times" in 1983, wrote: "In the last decade, 36 Turkish diplomats were killed in different countries, four of them - in the U.S.. Battle groups seem to be highly professional, starting with the creation in 1975, the most famous of them - Armenian ASALA, trained at the bases of the Palestine Liberation Organization in Beirut.

For all time of the killing of more than 30 members of ASALA, dozens were arrested. The first was released Enigomshyan Alec, the last - Varoujan Karapetian (2001).

From 1980 to 1997. published by the official organ of ASALA - Multilingual illustrated magazine "Hayastan" ("Armenia"). Various branches of the Armenian National Movement (IDA), which supports the activities of ASALA, produced periodicals "Kaydzer", "Hay Paykar", "Azat Eye," "Nor Serund", etc.

Coat ASALA - Armenian Card Treaty of Sevres with the hand holding a Kalashnikov rifle. Slogans organization - "Armed struggle and the correct political line - the way to Armenia" and "Long live the revolutionary solidarity of oppressed peoples."

With the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and subsequent expulsion from the country of the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) ASALA moved to Syria. Subsequently, Hakob Hakobyan and his supporters have been formed relationships with the radical and anti-"PLO" cement Abu Nidal, which led to the end of 1982 to a cooling in relations with the PLO. Radical control measures, leading to mass casualties, in particular the operation in 1983 at Paris airport "Orly", killing eight and wounding 55 people, led to internal disputes between Hakob Hakobyan and Monte Melkonian.
In April 1983 the Armenian National Movement (France), and Armenian organizations in the UK and U.S. have made a plan to form a counterweight to the Democratic Front ASALA. The newly formed organization ASALA-Mouvement Revolutionnaire (ASALA-RM) under the direction of Monte Melkonian considered "blind" terrorism as harmful to the cause of the Armenian liberation. ASALA-RM acknowledge the action only against Turkish diplomatic targets and the government, the principle of "just do not recognize, thus supporting . "striking evidence of this support may be a fact of reburial of the remains of Talaat in Istanbul, with all the honors. Even the death sentence of the tribunal of the Turkish Republic in the 20s, did not prevent the Turkish government to do so.

From 1975 to 1986, ASALA has made more than 200 actions against the Turkish state. The main result of the organization was to attract international attention to the problem of the status of national minorities in Turkey, the condemnation by France, Canada, Australia and the European Parliament. During the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, most fighters ASALA, including the legendary leader Monte Melkonian, forwarded to the Artsakh, which enter the ranks of the volunteer forces and lead a war of liberation against the occupation of Azerbaijani forces.

Orly Group

Group or Organization Orly Orly was created in 1981 by the Armenian youth living in France for release of arrested members of the Armenian militant organization ASALA. From 1981 to 1982 conducted several bombings that resulted in the implementation of specific claims made. Until 1987 the group was carried out over 10 terrorist attacks at airports in different countries, which led to serious consequences. In the ranks of the ASALA to the activities of the organization was very opposite, and has led to a split in 1983.

Operation VAN

VAN Operation (Operation VAN) - military-terrorist operation to seize the Turkish Consulate in Paris (September 24, 1981). It is considered a peak in activity of the Armenian underground militant organization ASALA.

Four Armenian gunmen Group name Egia Keshishian (commander - Vazgen Sislyan) for 15 hours, occupied the Turkish Consulate in Paris. Upon entering the consulate, they are seriously wounded Consul Kaya Inal, and the representative of the security Semalya Ozena. Two militants were wounded in this case. The militants seized 56 hostages, some of them (the Armenians sympathized with the French) helped militants. As a result, the militants were allowed to send the wounded Inal and Ozena to the hospital where he died from wounds Ozen. When the demand to free militant "Armenian and some Turkish and Kurdish political prisoners in Turkey," was rejected (the main Armenian political prisoner - Manvel Erkatyan priest, at the request of the European powers yet been released), they were asked to "the status of political prisoners" and surrendered to the French authorities (at this part of the French hostages have suggested waiting until after Turkey does not fulfill the requirements of the Armenians).

All four militants were young Armenians from Lebanon, members of ASALA. In Paris, a show trial was held, attended by the hero of the French Resistance Malin Manushian - Misak Manushyan widow, the famous singer Liz Sarian, a lawyer militants was the next minister of justice in France. After "the defendants stand" got the whole room. Three of the militants were released in 1986 and moved to Armenia.

One of the militants - Aram Basmadzhyan, died in prison, and was buried in Pere Lachaise cemetery.

Statement by the President of France on national television was interrupted by live coverage of the Turkish Consulate. The operation and subsequent trial rocked not only the Armenian diaspora, but also French society, drawing his attention to the Armenian question. On this occasion, the French came out of the monograph and the movie, Turkey has accused France, "in support of Armenian terrorism."

In 2001 it was noted the 20th anniversary of Operation VAN.

Armenian Revolutionary Army (ARA)
The Armenian Revolutionary Army

Manifesto I. 1983

ALL THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD public and the press. WE - SONS OF ARMENIAN NATION

Our decision to resort to violence is the result of the refusal of Turkish government and the sponsors of his forces to consider just and peaceful demands of the Armenian people.

The neglect and cynicism of Turkey and the international community with respect to the principles of justice and international law are increasingly lead us to believe that the only remaining way to achieve our fair trial is an armed struggle.

For decades, the Armenian people with the hope of expecting justice from the international community in addressing the Armenian Question. The Armenians have taken all peaceful means, organizing marches, demonstrations, rallies, repeatedly referring to memoranda to the United Nations and powerful countries. However, all ended in vain. Failed to achieve any tangible results in the recognition of political and territorial rights of the Armenian people, wall of silence erected around our Court, was tightly closed.

And now, due to the neglect of the Armenian issue and the failure to resolve it peacefully, we have decided to force Turkey to begin negotiations with the Armenian people of the decision of the Armenian Question.

Let the Turkish state and its allies refuse to acknowledge the genocide and the rights of Armenians.

Let the international public opinion call us adventurers, criminals or terrorists.

All of this for us is irrelevant.

We know our business. We also know how to act in the future.
Freedom-loving and revolutionary Armenian youth is determined to not let the enemy rest.

The only means of ensuring self-determination of our people - the armed struggle.

Having lost everything, even the identity, we have, fortunately, to keep the revolutionary tradition.

And now we have decided to blow up the building of silence around the Armenian Question - let us remain under its ruins.

No, this is not a suicide and madness, and our sacrifice to the altar of Freedom.

Long live the freedom-loving people of Armenia!
Long live the Armenian Revolution!
Long live the Armenian Revolutionary Army!

Manifesto II

ALL THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD public and the press

In the last decade, military action military forces of the Armenian diaspora were made to revive constantly ignored by the international community of the Armenian Question, break the silence, built around it, and restore the homeland of the Armenian people, providing opportunities scattered all over the world the exiled Armenians to return to their country.

This overall objective guides all parts of the organization of porridge. We decided to all possible means to fight against the oppressive Turkish government.

The Armenian issue is left as a legacy immoral chauvinistic governments and the Ottoman Empire, including the current government, headed by a military tyrant Kenenom Evren.

Today, there are obvious historical and other facts proving the planned and organized the genocide carried out against Armenians by the Turkish government in 1915 and in subsequent years, more than 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered and destroyed, "to resolve the Armenian question", as cynically declared himself Talat Pasha. Armenian provinces were completely emptied and cleaned by the indigenous Armenian population was plundered all the property of the people.

After World War I, despite the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, under the leadership of Kemal Ataturk and the Turkish Republic continued massacres, looting and forced relocation of the Armenians. The new national government has continued the extermination of the Armenians, with a goal to complete the implementation of the plans of his predecessors - to destroy the Armenians and to form a homogeneous, Turkic, population.

After the genocide committed with the connivance of the German government's inability to intervene in and indifference allies after enormous sacrifices in World War I, Armenians were born - as a result of Allied assurances about the decision of the Armenian Question - hope for the restoration of justice through the implementation of the Treaty of Sevres. Participating in the Sevres negotiations the parties came to conclusions that meet the aspirations of the Armenian people. They envisaged the return of confiscated property and the Armenians to establish penalties responsible for the genocide. However, political infighting and competition among the allies of the Treaty of Sevres was sentenced to death, and was then signed the shameful Treaty of Lausanne, which had betrayed the Armenian issue to oblivion.

The heir to the Ottoman Empire, today's Turkey, denies any responsibility for the atrocities committed by refusing to take responsibility for pecuniary damage and restore the human rights of the Armenian people.

This situation has caused deep resentment among the Armenians. Crimes of this magnitude should be subject to unconditional condemnation and punishment, as the League of Nations, and in the future - the United Nations took the decision of the Armenian-Turkish conflict. However, the right of innocent and peaceful people are ignored and sacrificed to political pragmatism.

However, security and peace in the world would be unthinkable, yet found a fair solution to restore the rights of oppressed peoples, which include the freedom-and the revolutionary people of Armenia.

Turkey carried out the genocide still remains unpunished and unconvicted, should be condemned. Moreover, the Armenian people must be brought to compensation for the damage it moral and material damage. "The Armenian Question" is based on the law of the Armenian people for independence and freedom to live and develop on their lands, the lands where their ancestors lived, possessing all the national and social rights.

The world community should be interested in ensuring the rights of the Armenian people rights.

The Armenians are waiting for justice.
The Armenians are fighting for Justice!

Justice Commandos of the Armenian Genocide (JCAG)
Fighters for Justice for the Armenian Genocide

In December 1972 in Vienna was convened by the 20 Congress of the Party "Dashnaktsutiun." Already in the form of organization of the Congress felt that it had to be special, life-changing. The delegates did not know where to go. Arriving in one of the cities where they were sent, they got a ticket to Vienna. In other words, this secrecy was talking about the fact that the issues discussed at the congress, will not be for the general public. Indeed, Congress was historic. It was decided to return to the revolutionary traditions of the party, which in turn led to the need for full renovation of party cadres. The party came out of the clubs and churches to the political arena, where she needed a new type of shots. It was decided to revise the party program, and in relation to the political line was an important decision that the Armenian people in solving their political problems should be based only on their own and do not become an appendage of either the western or eastern policy. But what you can do on its own among the experienced politicians of the world for a country that was a member of NATO and, to a fawning Soviet regime, hoping thereby to weaken its ties with the U.S.? First, it was necessary to find out: why did the Armenian question, or its content in a more specific sense - the Armenian genocide is completely excluded from the moral and the political sphere. In this part of the debate within the party were, but they all boiled down to two main lines:

A. The world does not know about the heinous crime that was committed against the Armenians in 1915. Enough to talk about it, to find and publish documents on the genocide, and the conscience of the world tremble with fear. Then the world's intellectuals, human rights groups, who consider themselves the moral arbiters, the governments and parliaments will defend the rights of disadvantaged Armenians.

Two. The world knows about what happened in the fateful year 1915, but he is silent on the basis of political considerations.
So, should clarify which version is correct, to develop a control strategy. To answer this question Dashnak Party has created a research group, which later evolved into the so-called "agencies on the Armenian issue."

These groups soon found out the following picture. Documents on the genocide of the archives are full of different countries. The world's press in 1915, wrote a lot about the Armenian genocide. This article does not cost anything to collect and publish again in the form of the collections (which was done later). But now the press is not involved in the Armenian issue, since this question does not interest anyone. The most heartbreaking documents can not be interested in the modern reader, because the Armenians and the Armenian issue has long been found in archives and museums, and no role in modern life can not play. As politicians, they are really for political reasons do not want to hurt your partner for NATO - Turkey and, more importantly, can not imagine what kind of role for the Armenians in their political calculations, if this nation for 50 years does not exist as a nation politically .
Control strategy suggests itself: it is necessary to interest the media, becoming the "interesting" people, and show the international diplomacy that the Armenians are a nation politically, and if desired it can be taken into account in some political calculation. If we could achieve such a situation, it would be great moral pressure on Turkey. pressure was necessary, not because it was the beginning of the national liberation struggle, not because it was any hope for recognition of Armenian Genocide by Turkey (as many naively believed), but in order only to the Armenian issue became a subject of discussion in international bodies.

October 22, 1975 in Vienna, was killed by the Turkish Ambassador to Austria, Danis Tunalygil. After two days in Paris, was killed by the Turkish Ambassador in France, Ismail Erez. Together with the ambassador was killed and his driver. Representatives of the Turkish Embassy in Austria said that the terrorist attack in Paris confirms their assumption that the murder of Turkish Ambassador to Austria, has a purely politically motivated. The Turkish government has taken drastic measures to ensure the safety of its diplomats abroad. As reported by the newspaper "Hurriyet", the Turkish government sent abroad for special state security forces. Government of Turkey at a special meeting discussed the terrorist attacks, after which the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey Chaglyyangil said that the killing of two Turkish envoys in the past two days is an organized action against Turkey .
Who organized this stock? Soon the political arena, there was an organization that has been the author of this and the ensuing attacks on Turkish diplomats. That organization had a very difficult translated title: "Champions of Justice in respect of the Armenian genocide."

For several years, the Western press wrote about the Armenians as much as not writing for 50 years.

Writing, not realizing that this is what the Armenian revolutionaries sought.

STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE OF 1915:

Almost a century after the Armenian genocide has expired. But today the consequences of this terrible attack feel of Armenia, the Armenian people, and every Armenian. Rehabilitation and improvement of Armenia and the Armenian people will require a lot of time. What was the genocide of the Armenians for the future, what are our losses, as reflected in the genocide of our current reality? These questions, surprisingly, in a dignified manner is not known. More precisely, we gave them, mainly emotional responses and assessed the Armenian genocide and its aftermath in the aspect of political and strategic criteria.

Draw a picture of losses, casualties and the consequences of genocide, whose impact is felt to this day.

A. The loss of living space

Prior to 1915 the living space of the Armenian ethnic group over five thousand years, encompassing the entire territory of the Armenian Plateau, ie throughout historic Armenia. In geo-strategic aspect of this vast territory of more than 350,000 square kilometers like a huge fortress, which has a number of "fortified areas," each of which alone can ensure its protection. Capture of foreign invaders of one or more of these defensive areas is not meant capturing the whole of Armenia, as concentrated in other areas of the Armenian forces were able to regroup, and then, in good time, went over to the offensive, and again became masters of the occupied territory.

Later, in the most difficult times in the XV-XIX centuries, when the Armenian statehood was abolished, and the Armenian armed forces have been largely destroyed and removed from the arena (small military units were able to survive only in isolated mountain areas), the main guarantee of the existence of the country of Armenia was demographic factor - maintaining the majority ethnic Armenians in the territory. As a result of the Tatar-Mongol and Turkmen hiking or Turkish-Persian wars ruined any part of Armenia, sometimes becoming deserted, after a short time, the Armenians from other regions of Armenia once again inhabited and mastered their native land, piously believing that sooner or later the country will gain freedom , independence, economic and military power.

Regions and districts of Armenia were not just a territory, and five thousand years of living space and the homeland. The worst consequence of the genocide is that the Armenians severed and deleted from their living space. In strategic terms, habitat loss has deprived the Armenians of their former ability to have multiple defensive lines. Armenia has remained small - only a lonely castle. It is no longer possible to retreat and regroup. Armenia is no longer entitled to any one loss. Otherwise, it will be the end of Armenia, and, perhaps, of the Armenian nation.

Two. Cultural losses

Incalculable loss of our culture. It's not just individual churches, and various unique architectural monuments and buildings, but also created on this earth for millennia fortresses, towns, villages, tens of thousands of manuscripts, which are summarized in the genius and knowledge of the Armenian people. Here is the mere fact that today all over the world kept many of the Armenian manuscripts, many were destroyed during the genocide, were destroyed and sunk into oblivion, and invaluable information secret, depriving us of the spiritual heritage of ancestors, severing us from their minds and spirit.

Three. Material losses

The confiscation and looting of property and property of the Western Armenians subjected to genocide, put them in a position where they are, rather than creative work in favor of strengthening and enriching the collective national life, had, individually, through hard work to provide basic physical existence svoihsemey.

4. Psychological Trauma

In psychological terms the loss of living space deprived the Armenians of daily contact with natural and man-made national symbols, thereby eliminating the possibility of a natural spiritual development of the Armenian nation. At the same time, the genocide of Armenians spawned many inferiority complexes - lack of confidence in the future of the nation, in some cases even samofobiyu, ie denial of national interests and values, reverence for all foreign.

Five. The destruction of the people - leadership of organized communities and structures

During the genocide of Armenians were killed not only the huge crowds, but people who were united and organized around their centuries-old structures. Were subjected to destruction of the community, churches, schools, numerous and varied structure and organization of the Armenian, finally - a guide of the Armenian nation, including political, intellectual and cultural elite. Human mass without linking their structures are no longer people, and individuals. After the genocide, scattering all over the world, only a small part of the Armenian diaspora was able to once again rally around the newly established national structures. The rest of the Armenians who had taken refuge in a foreign country was involved in alien structure and gradually assimilated. In Soviet Armenia and the Armenians were organized around the Anational structures and ideologies, and to a large extent been subjected to cultural denationalization (in particular the political and intellectual elite).

Destruction of Armenian national structures was one of the important objective factors which are not allowed to find themselves in a strange land fragments of the Armenians to organize themselves into a single, unifying all Diaspora.

6. Casualties (the human toll of the Armenians in the 20th century)

To understand the problems facing today's Armenians must clearly understand not only the horrific results of the genocide, but also the tragedies plaguing our nation throughout the last century. Loss of life during these disasters have affected not only by the number of our nation, but also on its total quality (in particular, introducing a so-called Armenian mass psychology of the "survival", the preference in all personal and family interests).

Conducted in four stages Armenian genocide, from 1894 to 1922., Destroying the Armenian civilization in most of its autochthonous area, took the lives of over 2,000,000 people (about 300,000 Armenians were killed in the 1894-96 years., 1.5 million in 1915-16 years., about 300,000 in 1918-1922.).

Proclaimed in 1920-1921. in the central part of Eastern Armenia, a small Soviet Armenia, a seventy-year period of relative peace and sustainable development, was able to provide significant advances in the field of economy and culture. But during the same time the Armenians suffered enormous loss of life. For example, in 1920 1921gg. was arrested almost the entire Armenian officer corps, tempered in the period of independence in the national spirit. In the 1930's. bolshevistkih victim of repression was the color of Armenian intellectuals, along with thousands of ordinary citizens.

In 1941-1945. in World War II was attended by about 600,000 Armenians, of whom about 300,000 were killed. To imagine how this figure is terrible for the Armenian people's scanty, is sufficient to note that during the Second World War, the United States and Great Britain lost nearly as much, respectively - 291,557 and 357,116 dead.

Organized by the Stalinist regime in the 1949 deportation of Armenians from Armenia in the Altai region has led to thousands of new losses. Favorable period of unprecedented stability and economic growth was the time from 1954 to 1988. However, since 1988, the existence of the Armenian nation in this last fragment u1086 Armenia was again called into question, Spitak earthquake claimed the lives of 25-30 thousand people and completely destroyed nearly a third of the country, including large Armenian town of Gyumri and Vanadzor. In the follow-Karabakh war killed about 10,000 Armenians. Accompanied by all of this emigration, has not ceased to this day. From Armenia have already had left over a million people.

Unfortunately, the genocide was followed by a long-term period, during which the Armenian just banned openly talk about their sacrifices and losses, think of ways to recover. It should be noted that Soviet Armenia became a form of statehood (no matter how hard to ascribe to it such functions), and was ideologically colonized and alien to the national values of the quasi-gosudarstsvennoy unit particle of a powerful empire, with its Anational party-state elite. Soviet Armenia could not (and could not imagine) to overcome the consequences of genocide, including the most important thing - the restitution of Armenian native territories, or at least parts of them (whether in Eastern or Western Armenia), which only could ensure the safe development of the Armenian nation in the event of a possible collapse the Soviet empire. Was not, and could not be resolved the question of another exhausting effects of the genocide - are constantly taking place in the Diaspora, the process of assimilation - the "white genocide."

Recourse to organized struggle for the restoration of national rights of the Armenians came rather late, only since the 1960s. Such a waste of time cost is expensive - during which time tens of thousands of Armenians were victims of "white genocide", and the enemy is even more appreciated by the conquered positions.

It is natural and understandable that such territorial, religious, cultural, material and human losses were to have an impact on the general intellectual and moral potential of the nation. However, these unfortunate facts should inspire us, for it is hardly found other people who managed to survive it all and does not disappear from the face of the earth. So, our nation has unparalleled potential and will to live, which is an urgent need to engage and oppose the forces and attitudes, propagators of defeatism, and even the voluntary renunciation of independence.
