Abstract

Between 1975 and 1985, an estimated total of 222 violent actions were perpetrated against targets related to the Turkish state or Turkish interests, in approximately 20 western and non‐western countries, including former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, both at that time under a socialist regime. Armenian secret organizations claimed responsibility for these acts perpetrated in demand of the recognition of the Armenian genocide (1915–23), as well as moral and material reparations, often formulated in terms of the devolution of the Armenian historical homeland – Western Armenia – in today's eastern Turkey. The RAND Corporation characterized the geographical scope of these actions as the broadest of its time, not equalized by any other group.
