KÖR İNANÇ OLARAK İNTİKAMCILIK VE TAŞNAK-ASALA SUİKASTLERİ / REVANCHISM AS BLIND FAITH AND THE DASHNAK-ASALA ASSASSINATIONS

In 1938, while giving an account of the propaganda techniques employed in the First World War, American political science expert Harold D. Laswell wrote that he feared the influence of propaganda on civil society. But there is a special type amongst such propaganda techniques that is more frightening than what Laswell had mentioned, and it has highly destructive consequences over civil society. Curiously enough, this special propaganda type has not been made a subject of academic or popular study in international literature except by those who legitimize and praise Armenian revanchism.
