# Harry Sassounian

> Hampig Sassounian or Harry M. Sassounian, is an American citizen involved in the 1982 assassination of Turkish Consul General Kemal Arıkan in Los Angeles. He was identified as one of two gunmen by witnesses. In court, Sassounian said he was motivated by the Turkish government's open denial of the Armenian genocide. The jury determined that Arıkan was targeted due to his nationality. Sassounian was sentenced to life, but was granted parole in 2021. He subsequently moved to Armenia on 29 October 2021.
