Asala, my soul
On March 1, 1984, a short article titled "Imprisoned Armenian Dies" appeared in the New York Times: “Gourgen Migirdic Yanikian, an Armenian author and engineer who killed two Turkish consular officials in California in 1973, died Monday in prison of natural causes. He was 88 years old. He was sentenced to life in prison in July 1973 for first-degree murder."
But who was this man? And why did he commit this "crime"?
Gourgen Yanikyan was born on December 24, 1895, in the city of Karin, Western Armenia, into a traditional Armenian family. Gourgen was six months old when the hamidian massacres began, claiming the lives of approximately 300,000 Armenians. His father had good relations with the Persian consul in Karin, and with the consul's help, the Yanikyan family found refuge in the Persian consulate, escaping the massacres. After two weeks of safety, they were transferred by a mountain road to the village of Kyotah near Kars on the consul’s orders. Suddenly, it was discovered that Gourgen was missing. He had fallen on the road from his mother’s arms that were numbed from the cold. Despite the danger, his mother and brother Hakob went back and, after walking about six kilometers, found Gourgen nearly lifeless. They revived him with the warmth of their bodies.
Six years later, the mother returned to Erzurum with Gourgen and Hakob, intending to take back the money and documents hidden in their barn back. While digging, two turks arrived, captured Hakob, beheaded him, and took the iron chest. The mother and Gourgen witnessed everything from their hiding place. A terrified Gourgen tried to scream, but his mother held his mouth shut. Gourgen never forgot this tragedy throughout his life. For political reasons, he became a Persian citizen and later moved to Switzerland with his family, where he continued his education, which he later pursued in Tbilisi and Moscow.
Like many Armenians of his time, he experienced the devastating effects of the massacres committed by the turks against Armenians. He lost 26 family members to the Armenian Genocide of 1915, as well as his homeland—Western Armenia.
Although Gourgen was far from his homeland, the injustice of the genocide never left him. He had exhausted all peaceful means to inform the world about the genocide and hold turkey accountable for the atrocities they committed.
He chose cinema as the means to achieve his goal: “Our plan was very simple. With our personal funds, we secretly planned to make a film showing the world the sufferings of our people and the barbaric turkish massacres, not forgetting the Armenian genocide and the conspiracy of so-called civilized nations against our rights."
Yanikian's factual book "Paradise" (originally in English), which his wife Shushanik had titled, became the basis for a screenplay. Several foreigners joined the film project, and they shot 20 hours of material depicting turkish atrocities with striking authenticity.
"The film was to be shown simultaneously in the capitals of three different countries, free of charge. Flyers explaining the purpose and our demands were to be distributed with the tickets… The goal was to return the land stolen from the Armenian people to its rightful owners and provide compensation for our two million victims. Many individuals were to join the cause once the film was ready."
Despite the strong dedication to completing "Paradise," the endeavor was unsuccessful because U.S.-Turkey alliances and strategic interests were prioritized, and the US government hindered the production of the film.
Yanikyan, by then old but not despairing, had spent decades using every peaceful means to punish the perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide and avenge his compatriots, but he ultimately felt compelled to choose an alternative.
"In all my writings, I always defended the belief that violence should disappear from our lives. But when all of this happened and humanity and the world remained silent about the Armenian Question, I made the decision to take action in order to bring the Armenian cause to the attention of humanity and world governments."
On January 27, 1973, at the age of 78, Gourgen Yanikyan, without hesitation, fired 13 bullets at the turkish consul and vice-consul in Santa Barbara in his room at the "Baltimore" hotel. Following a highly publicized trial, Yanikyan was sentenced to life imprisonment, and in 1984, with a clear conscience, he passed away into eternity.
But his sacrifice was not in vain: the Armenian Question was finally brought back from the dusty archives of history. By sacrificing his freedom, Yanikyan ignited a movement. His act became the catalyst for a wave of Armenian activism, inspiring the creation of ASALA, who would go on to fight for the recognition of the genocide.
Everyone condemns violence but, alas, it is the only language the world understands.
LYRIUM: SONG OF THEDAS
A millennia of history in two paragraphs. The truth about the Maker, elves, dwarves, Titans, and the Evanuris - and it's all thanks to lyrium, three little words, and one big song!
Depending on how the Lucanis romance goes, I can totally see Asala assuming he's interested in literally every other member of the Veilguard before she ever considers he's actually into her. Bc I apparently love the idea of these two very competent people being absolute idiots the moment romantic feelings get involved.

Armenian secret army for the liberation of Armenian
ASALA
Az emigráciĂłban Ă©lĹ‘ fiatalokbĂłl megalakul Szabad Magyarország FelszabadĂtĂł Szervezetet (SZMFSZ) a hĂrek szerint Simicska Lajos is bĹ‘kezűen támogatja. Kiáltványuk cĂme "Meddig nyaljátok mĂŞg Orbán seggĂ©t, lakájok nĂ©pe" Ă©s hitet tesznek a forradalmi direkt akciĂł mellett, mert szĹ«leik gyávasága számukra már nem vonzĂł pĂ©lda.
Az Monte Melkonian ÖrmĂ©ny Forradalmi Szervezet (az ASALA Revolutionary Movement utĂłda) fegyverekkel támogatja a Szabad Magyarország FelszabadĂtĂł Szervezetet. Az örmĂ©nyek nem felejtik Ă©n nem bocsájtják meg a "baltás gyilkoskĂ©nt" emlegetett Ramil SÉ™fÉ™rov 9 milliĂł kenĹ‘pĂ©nzĂ©rt törtĂ©nĹ‘ kiadatási Ĺ«gyĂ©t, valamint, hogy Orbán Ă©s kormánya Azerbajdzsánt Ă©s Törökországot támogatta az Ă–rmĂ©nyországgal valĂł háborĂşk idejĂ©n.
AutĂłbomba robban a budapesti töròk nagykövetsĂ©g, valamint a Lenin Ă©s Sztálin szĹ«lĹ‘házának mintájára egy mĂşzeum által (Pannon GĂ©niusz MĂşzeum) által körbeĂ©pĂtett Orbán Viktor felcsĂşti szĹ«lĹ‘háza elĹ‘tt. EmberĂ©letben nem esett kár, de az okozott kár jelentĹ‘s.
A robbantás másnapján Simicska Lajos novicsokkal öngyilkosságot követ el. Kihirdetik a statáriumot, a terrorakciók miatt letartóztatottakat a stadionokban zsúfolják össze. Az utcán a Kubatov Fiai Mozgalom és M. Richárd "rohatt értelmiség, rohaggy meg" skandálása közben Molotov-koktélokkal felgyújtja az Akadémia épūletét, a Hazafias Nemzeti-Keresztény Incelek Szupertibi Főtitkárral az élen liberáltnak kinéző nőket vernek és erőszakolnak az utcán.
Orbán Viktor kĂ©t nap után leállĂtja a hazafiak spontán Ă©s jogos felháborodását Ă©s engedĂ©lyt ad a halottak elszállĂtásĂ ra. A kĹ«lföldi fake news szennymĂ©dia által terjesztett, minden alapot nĂ©lkĹ«lözĹ‘ rĂ©mhĂrekre reagálva, miszerint az incel csĹ«rhe tömeges erĹ‘szakot követett volna el a magyar nĹ‘kön, Orbán Viktor csibĂ©szes mosollyal a következĹ‘t mondotta: egyrĂ©szt szemĂ©rmetlen, aljas hazugság, másrĂ©szt mindannyian fĂ©rfibĂłl vagyunk, kell nĂ©ha egy kis kikapcsolĂłdás. De ne felejtsĹ«k Sorost! Soros Ă©s hálozata minden eszközzel azon van, hogy a leigázandĂł magyar nĂ©p faji alapjait tönkretegye. Amint maga gyalázza meg tervszerűen az idegen nĂ©p asszonyait Ă©s leányait, Ă©ppen Ăşgy nem riad vissza attĂłl sem, hogy mások számára nyissa meg idegen nĂ©pek faji korlátait. SorosĂ©k voltak azok, akik a nĂ©gereket Ă©s arabokat a Duna, a Rajna, a Szajna partjára hozták azzal a határozott cĂ©lkitűzĂ©ssel, hogy az ebbĹ‘l folyĂł vĂ©rfertĹ‘zĂ©s tönkretegye a gyűlölt fehĂ©r fajt, letaszĂtsa kulturális Ă©s politikai magaslatárĂłl, Ă©s önmagát tegye e faj urává.”
