From the beginning Armenian freedom fighters (FEDAYI's) fought against turkish oppression.
These FEDAYI's chose the path of "Liberty or Death" (Mah gam Azadoutioun). In the aftermath
of the genocide the evil architects of the genocide were shot to death by Armenian Avengers.

The First Holocaust |
Have we sought revenge? throughout the years, there have been some who have taken
the law in their own hands and punished the murderous turks responsible: Tehlirian, who,
for months followed talaat pasha (the person who had Tehlirian’s family murdered in front
of him), all the way up to Germany, to put a bullet through the devil’s head. Tehlirian was
acquitted after months of trials and courts...
The "Lisbon Five"; five heroic Armenian
youths set out from Lebanon to Lisbon, with the mission of capturing the turkish
ambassador as a hostage. However, when they found themselves surrounded by Lisbon
police, in the empty embassy building, from which the ambassador had already escaped,
they stood in a circle with a bomb in the middle, holding each other’s hand and praying,
and...BOOM... gave their life away in the name of Armenia, in the name of justice, in the
name of the 1.5 million victims.
Has the Armenian nation pursued vengeance?
Our endurance, persistence, courage, strength and love of life has helped us to be where we are today:
They tried to demolish us, they tried to wipe us off the face of this earth...We
took on all the blows...and still turned our other cheeks. They "kicked" us when we were
"down"...but we waited...then, we took a deep breath...opened our eyes, and realized we
were still alive! ALIVE! After all that had happened...
