The promotion,  without any warning, of the views of the former spokesman of a terrorist group  (ASALA) is simply unacceptable in a respectable and democratic newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>France was, with Turkey, the country of  the world where Armenian terrorists, especially ASALA, killed and wounded the  greatest number of persons. \u00a0Mr.  Toranian\u2019s newspaper, Hay Baykar, glorified the murder of Turkish diplomats,  justified the bombing of the Marmara travel agency (which bomb also killed a  French secretary) and slammed the verdict sentencing the perpetrators of Orly  attack (8 deaths, 90 wounded, including around 60 seriously).<\/p>\n<p>In the U.S.A., ASALA attempted to  assassinate a UCLA history professor, Prof. Stanford Jay Shaw, and his family in  1977 by planting a bomb in his HOME\u00a0!<\/p>\n<p>ASALA\u2019s inspiration, Gourgen Yanikian,  murdered in an ambush the general consul in Los Angeles Mehmet Baydar and his  deputy Bahad\u0131r Demir, in 1973. Mr. Toranian\u2019s newspaper presented the terrorist  Yanikian as a hero.<\/p>\n<p>Another Armenian terrorist group,  JCAG\/ARA assassinated Mehmet Baydar\u2019s successor, Kemal Ar\u0131kan, in 1982.<\/p>\n<p>The same attacked by bombs the cultural  night celebrating the Turkish culture (including dance) in California and New  York.<\/p>\n<p>Both ASALA and JCAG\/ARA assaulted \u00a0even moderate Armenians, like the Dashnak and  the Hunchak murderers did in the Ottoman Empire since 1890s and the USA since  1930\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Toranian\u2019s opinion was seen as an  insult to the silent memory of the many victims of terrorism, whatever their  nationality or ethnicity may be.<\/p>\n<p>Please accept our expressions of  profound disappointment, outrage,\u00a0 and  sadness,<\/p>\n<p>[Signatory\u00a0: Please provide full name,  city, state, country, and day-phone]<\/p>\n<p>************<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to  quote some more striking facts or figures, please read this interview:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/armenians-1915.blogspot.com\/2010\/12\/3194-turkish-armenian-conflict-what-now.html?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=Feed:+ArmenianGenocideResourceCenter+(Armenian+Genocide+Resource+Center)<\/p>\n<p><input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/><input id=\"jsProxy\" onclick=\"if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}\" type=\"hidden\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ergun kirlikovali Dear Readers, Friends , and Fair-Minded, Truth-Promoting, Peace-Lovers, As long as there are Armenian falsifiers and Turk-haters\u00a0 around the world,\u00a0 with or without their white robes and matching conical hats, bent on demonizing all things Turkish at all opportunities real or imagined,\u00a0 our work seems to remain incomplete.
