Were not the cause initiated by Soghomon Tehlirian suspended, the international community would have finally and officially recognized the fact of the Armenian Genocide, according to the ex-member of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA), the leader of Van operation in France.

“Were the cause initiated continued, we could have returned our historic lands,” Vazgen Sislyan stated.

He also added that by killing the main orchestrator of the Armenian Genocide the former Grand Vizir Talat Pasha, Tehlirian signalled the start of a national struggle to avenge the Genocide perpetrators.
