The Consul General of Turkey in Los Angeles Kemal Arykan was killed on January 28, 1982 by Armenian terrorists Hampig Sasunyan and his accomplice with Criton Saliba. Sasunyan was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. Saliba, who managed to hide, was killed during the Civil War in Lebanon in the same 1982. In March of this year, the Supreme Court of the Los Angeles District issued a verdict in favor of the liberation of Sasunyan. Governor California stated that it would not appeal this decision. All this caused serious discontent in Turkey. Turkish Foreign Ministry condemned the decision of the American Court to release the terrorist and the murderer of Sasunyan. The departments then noted that this “serious decision” and is incompatible with the universal principles of law and an understanding of justice. “
