`  ==ASALA and Melkonian== Below is my posting from ArbCom page, which lists all relevant links to State Department quotes.  :I just wanted to make something clear. User Artaxiad above said ``Dacy keeps on want to add that he (Monte Melkonian) was a terrorist, why is this?  The answer, Monte Melkonian was a member and one of the main leaders of ASALA - Armenian Secret Army for Liberation of Armenia, which was considered as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department. Below are some links in reference. So, Mr. Melkonian, eliminated by Azerbaijani Armed Forces in Karabakh, was a terrorist without any doubts. ::: * [U.S. State Department Patterns of Global Terrorism: 1997] ::: * [U.S. Department of State Daily Press Briefing October 8, 1997] ::: * [US Department of State Daily Press Briefing #190, Monday, December 23, 1991] :: Thanks.  `
