Dear Readers, Friends , and Fair-Minded, Truth-Promoting, Peace-Lovers,
As long as there are Armenian falsifiers and Turk-haters around the world, with or without their white robes and matching conical hats, bent on demonizing all things Turkish at all opportunities real or imagined, our work seems to remain incomplete.
We need to be alert and react instantly to all kinds of attempts to defame and misrepresent our proud heritage. We need to remain in constant vigilance and continue to educate the public about our thousands of year old culture, history, and heritage.
This time, the unprovoked, unjustified, and unfair attack came from France’s Le Monde newspaper. Le Monde editors, incredibly, are providing access to the former speaker of a notorious Armenian terrorist organization, ASALA. The blood of Turkish (and Fench) citizens have not dried on the hands of these Armenian terrorists who loved to grin to the TV cameras with their ugly faces, flashing victory signs after every bombing, assassination, and other such premeditated murder and planned carnage.
What’s more, Le Monde editors seem to lack the decency to at least give the appearance of seeking responsible opposing views in order to balance this terrorist’s sick and hateful message and to present a more objective and fair coverage of a historical controversy.
Therefore, I ask you to please sign the protest letter below with your name, city, country, and day-phone, and email it to these addresses :

Madam/Sir,
In a shocking move, Le Monde allowed, one more time, Ara Toranian to publish an opinion in its pages. 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.
France was, with Turkey, the country of the world where Armenian terrorists, especially ASALA, killed and wounded the greatest number of persons. Mr. Toranian’s 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).
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 !
ASALA’s inspiration, Gourgen Yanikian, murdered in an ambush the general consul in Los Angeles Mehmet Baydar and his deputy Bahadır Demir, in 1973. Mr. Toranian’s newspaper presented the terrorist Yanikian as a hero.
Another Armenian terrorist group, JCAG/ARA assassinated Mehmet Baydar’s successor, Kemal Arıkan, in 1982.
The same attacked by bombs the cultural night celebrating the Turkish culture (including dance) in California and New York.
Both ASALA and JCAG/ARA assaulted even moderate Armenians, like the Dashnak and the Hunchak murderers did in the Ottoman Empire since 1890s and the USA since 1930’s.
Mr. Toranian’s opinion was seen as an insult to the silent memory of the many victims of terrorism, whatever their nationality or ethnicity may be.
Please accept our expressions of profound disappointment, outrage, and sadness,
[Signatory : Please provide full name, city, state, country, and day-phone]
