I would like to see in this page the fact that Patrick Devedjian was also an advocate of ASALA(The Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia) that was listed as a terrorist organization by the United States in 1980.

OK. This dialog is taken from an interview by David Zenian on 3/1/1995

"" -But how did a high-profile politician and civil servant(Patrick Devedjian) get involved in controversial cases like defending professed members of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia at a time when ASALA was branded as “a terrorist organization.”

Devedjian’s answer reflects no hesitation.

“The people I defended in court were not terrorists. They were resistance fighters ... Armenian resistance fighters,” Devedjian said.

One of those he successfully defended was the late Monte Melkonian, who was detained in Paris in 1982 on charges of traveling with a false passport and involvement in an attack against the Turkish Embassy in Rome.
