Red Armenian Army

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]

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