Further attention, yes. But a lot of those fires are started by crazies, idiots, and incompetents.

Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA)

Marxist-Leninist Armenian terrorist group formed in 1975
with stated intention to compel the Turkish Government to
acknowledge publicly its alleged responsibility for the
deaths of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915, pay reparations,
and cede territory for an Armenian homeland. Led by Hagop
Hagopian until he was assassinated in Athens in April 1988.

There it is. Thanks for looking that up. I did recall reading elsewhere what was noted in the link:

(ASLA)...Has received aid, including training and safehaven, from Syria. May also receive some aid from Libya. Has extensive ties to radical Palestinian groups, including the PFLP

Most of the bad stuff was done in the 80's. They seem dormant since the 90's. Yet while this guy is probably a kook, he might have been prodded by somebody else. The pali's often like to claim that they speak for Christian palestinians.

Here's the picture I formed: A refugee, an impressionable kid, probably a little off his rocker, comes to California, the land of dreams he's heard is full of Armenians. He finds none of the generosity he expected ; there's a recession and work is scarce. He grows bitter. He's ripe for plucking-- a bomb for anyone who knows how to set his fuse. There are a lot of people who's business is identifying people like him, and setting them in motion.
