IZMIR (AA) - Friends of Turkish Honorary Consul General in Boston Orhan Gunduz, who was murdered by members of an Armenian terror organization in the United States on May 4th, 1982, started an initiative to remind this murder to the whole world.
Prof. Dr. Sedat Isci of Aegean University American Culture & Literature Department said, ``friends of Gunduz who are prominent scientists in various universities in Turkey and the United States are determined not to forget this murder.``
``Armenian terrorists killed many Turkish diplomats and personnel in the past. However, murder of Gunduz has a different meaning because it was committed at the headquarters of Armenian Tasnaksutyun organization, and terrorists had close connections with that organization,`` he added.
Isci said, ``friends of Gunduz gave me an archive comprising of many photos and documents. I will publish this archive and not allow people to forget the murder of Gunduz.``
Gunduz was murdered by Armenian terrorists in Cambridge, USA, on May 4th, 1982.
Attacks started on January 27th, 1973 with the murders of Turkish Consul General in Los Angeles Mehmet Baydar and Turkish diplomat Bahadir Demir by an Armenian. As of 1975, 34 Turkish diplomats and their relatives were killed and nearly 100 Turks and foreigners were injured. Thus, attacks turned to be organized crime. Armenian people and organizations having connection with Tasnaksutyun staged armed and bomb attacks in 38 cities of 21 countries during that years.
