In a case when terrorist and his victim are the citizens of the same 
or different states, but crime is being perpetrated on the territory of third 
state.

When terrorist act is directed against person or other international

When terrorist act is being committed on the territory of given

If to take a close look at the activity of Armenian terrorists it is 
indisputable that they are a part of international terrorism. Armenian ter-
rorism differs with its terrorist organizations’ net spread all over the world. 
Armenecan (1885), Hnchak (1887) and Dashnaksutyun (1890) parties are 
considered to be the oldest Armenian terrorist organizations. Along with 
them organizations such as “Haydad” (1919, France), ASALA (1967, 
France), “Revengers of the Armenian Genocide” (1973), “3
rd 
October” 
organization (1980, Switzerland), “September-France” (1981), “Orli” group 
(1981, France), “Squadron going to death” (1981, France), Armenian Union 
(1988, SSSR, Moscow) and others have organized mass terrorist campaigns 
on the territory of France, USA, Canada, Lebanon, Austria, Germany, 
Turkey, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, UK, Iran, Greece, Netherlands, Australia, 
Luxemburg, Azerbaijan, Russia and other states. Especially a real whack to 
the international security and to the system of international relations were 
consecutive terrorist campaigns organized in the period of 1973-1987. 
Representatives of many nations (Turks, French, American, Jews, 
Russian, German, Italian, Lebanese, Iranian, Swiss, Azerbaijani and etc.) 
became targets of Armenian terrorism.  
Armenian terrorists have attacked representatives of Turks living, 
studying or working in the different countries of the world, owned by them 
establishments and embassies of Turkey in order to impede integration of 
Turkey into the world community, to shadow its international relations with 
other countries and to make negative impact on its development. As the 
result of consecutive terrorist acts in the period of 1973-1987 forty Turkish 
diplomats protected by international law were assassinated.

Countries that were not interesting in the deterioration of relations 
with Turkey on the base of their interests were succeeding in the most cases 
to punish Armenian terrorists. But terrorist groups that hadn’t resigned with 
it by making some changes to their targets were organizing terrorist acts 
against citizen of these countries. In this way they intended to influence 
governments of those countries and to reach their goals. In corroboration to 
these words can be indicated more than 20 terrorist acts against Swisses in 
the 1980-1981, and 13 acts against French citizens during 2 months: 
October and November of 1981.  
One of the characteristics that identifies “Armenian terrorism” as a 
part of international terrorism is support received from Armenian Republic. 
As a representative of terrorism Armenia built its activity in two ways – 
direct and indirect. Direct involvement of Armenia as the representative of 
terrorism is being seen in the organization and implementation of terrorist 
acts by the Armenian special services. For example, exist a lot of judicial 
evidences that terrorist acts on the territory of Azerbaijan during 1988-1994 
have been planned and conducted by the state services of Armenian 
Republic. 
As the result of cooperation between Ministry of National Security of 
Azerbaijan Republic and Russian Federal Security Services it became 
possible to bring to trial a group of Armenian separatists acting on the 
territory of Russia, leaded by the chief of intelligence department of the 
Ministry of National Security of Armenia colonel Gan Ohanesyan, his 
deputy major Ashot Galoyan, the senior investigator of Anti-terrorism 
department of Russian Federal Counter-intelligence Service mayor Boris 
Simonyan. Based in Moscow and financed by “TIRR” association headed 
by Valeriy Petrosyan this group organized several explosions in the railroad 
trains on the territory of Russia and Azerbaijan [1, p. 88-89]. 
Along with being direct organizer of terrorist acts, Armenia by 
showing financial, military and technical assistance to terrorist groups, by 
creating environment for existence of terrorist organizations and organized 
criminal groups on its territory or on the occupied territories, by granting 
immediate political asylum to the terrorist after commitment of terrorist acts

on the territories of other countries and by other indirect ways of 
involvement becomes the acting member of international terrorism.  
All facts mentioned above indicate that Armenian terrorism is a part 
of “international terrorism” that is threat to global security system. 
 
2. The system of international relations and Armenian terrorism 
The Armenian terrorism represents real and potential danger to all the 
forms (political, economical, social, cultural, legal, national-ethnic, moral, 
etc.) and levels (domestic, regional and international) of public relations. 
The system of international relations, being a complicated and wide 
notion, comprises bilateral and multilateral contacts and relations formed 
and developed among the actors in international law. The relations of diffe-
rent characters established among the subjects of international law are 
regulated by the principles of international law. These humanistic values 
accepted by international community, along with establishing international 
peace and security system, regulate the function of the system of internatio-
nal relations which is stable in form and developing in essence. Since the 
system of international relations closely unites all states, violation of the 
existing principles against any state directly results in failure of the system 
of international relations. 
The Armenian terrorism, destructively influencing the principles of 
international law, is a global threat to the normal development of the system 
of internal relations. 
The main targets of the terror attacks perpetrated by the Armenian ter-
rorists in 1973-1987 against the diplomatic representations, economical, so-
cial, cultural objects, international transport companies and means, etc. of 
the Republic of Turkey located in France, the USA, Switzerland, Lebanon, 
Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Luxemburg, Belgium, Iran, Austria, Cana-
da, Australia were to stop or represent a danger to the development of bila-
teral interstate relations in different directions with the above mentioned 
states. 
The main target of the terrorist act committed on November 25, 1979 
by the Armenian terrorists was the coarse violation of the principles of
