Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA), issued a message commemorating Turkish Consul General Sarik Ariyak and his security officer Engin Sever, on the anniversary of their assasination by Armenian terrorists. The message is as follows;
Two Armenian gunmen assassinate Turkish Consul General, Sarik Ariyak, and his security officer, Engin Sever, as the Turkish officials are walking toward their vehicle. Ariyak dies instantly and the bodyguard dies on the way to the hospital. A spokesperson for the Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs states, "We deplore this violent and criminal incident and hope those responsible are brought to justice." A statement by the U.S. Department of State referred to the killings as "brutal murders" and added, "The inviolability of diplomatic and consular personnel and their premises, is fundamental to the conduct of foreign relations, and to the maintenance of international order. We condemn all acts of violence and we hope the guilty parties will soon be brought to justice." The Justice Commandos of Armenian Genocide (JCAG) claims responsibility. No arrests were ever made.
ATAA condemns these acts of violence against innocent individuals and remembers these tragedies with great sorrow and deliberation to bring the perpetrators and their supporters to justice.
