List of Turkish diplomats assassinated by Armenian militant organisations

This is a list of Turkish diplomats killed by Armenian militant organisations.[1][2][3][4][5] The list includes families of diplomats as well as local or international staff members killed as a result of direct attacks or as collateral damage victims of the attacks directed against Turkish diplomats.[6][7] The attacks that are listed here begin with the assassination of Mehmet Baydar, Turkish Consul General to Los Angeles and Bahadır Demir, Consul at the same Consulate General.[8] Although the attacks against Turkish diplomats begin with these assassinations in 1973 by an individual perpetrator, Kourken Yanigian, the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) has assumed – or in some cases accused of – the responsibility of attacks against Turkish diplomats and other Turkish objectives in 16 countries between 1975 and 1983.[9][10][11]
