Red Armenian army

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Red Armenian army (RAA), aka Armenian Red Army, was a small militant organization, which organized a single unsuccessful attack against the Turkish Consul General, Kemalettin Demirer on 1 July 1982 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. No one sustained any injuries from this attack.

[edit] History

The Armenian Red Army has not claimed any terrorist attack in over two decades and is presumed to be disbanded and inactive.[1] Following the establishment of an independent Armenian state in 1991, the possibility of further attacks has become even more remote. Turkey, however, has continued to deny the existence of an Armenian genocide and refused to publicly apologize for any role it may have played, thus not conclusively closing the possibility for future attacks by Armenian terrorists.[2]
