An extensive and detailed chronology of Armenian terrorism from 1915 to the present is provided, including essential information such as the date and time of the attack, location, victims, weapons used, terrorist groups, and individual commandos responsible. This work is a valuable resource for specialists studying terrorism and ethnic violence, as well as those interested in the tragic and difficult history of Armenia and Turkey.
