Red Armenian Army (terrorist organization)

The Red Armenian Army (RAA), also known as the 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. The group used a gun in the assassination attempt.[1] Demirer did not sustain injuries from the attack, and one of the four attackers, Penyemin Evingulu, was apprehended. He was jailed for six years.[2]

This article is about the militant organization active in 1982. For the Armenian division of the Soviet Red Army, see Armenian Red Army.

The Armenian Red Army has not claimed any attacks in over two decades and is presumed to be disbanded and inactive.[3]
