The Armed Youth of Cherikha-ye Fedayee has not claimed responsibility for any other attacks since 2005, and has most likely become inactive. While they were the only group to claim responsibility for the assassination, Iranian officials expressed skepticism about the claim's legitimacy. It is possible that the group formed solely for the murder of Moqaddas, and once this was accomplished, had no overarching ideology that incited them to plan additional attacks.

The Armenian Red Army was a small terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the attempted assassination of a Turkish diplomat in the Netherlands in July 1982. Four gunmen opened fire on a car carrying Turkish Consul-General Kemalettin Demirer, though the diplomat and his driver escaped with no injuries. Police subsequently chased down and arrested one of the gunmen, Penyemin Evingulu, who was later convicted and sentenced to six years in prison. He claimed that in addition to operations in the Netherlands, the Armenian Red Army was based in the Beirut, Lebanon. The other three perpetrators were not apprehended. <P><br />The Armenian Red Army has claimed responsibility for only this one attack and has never issued a formal statement regarding its political objectives. However, its targets and tactics closely mirror those of other Armenian terrorist organizations. Armenian terrorist groups became particularly active in the 1970s and 1980s, attacking Turkish embassies and diplomats the world over. Armenians claim that Turkey  -- the successor state to the Ottoman Empire- slaughtered upwards of two million Armenians during World War I in an attempt to eradicate the entire ethnic Armenian population from Ottoman borders. While the extent of the Ottoman killings is hotly debated, Turkey has denied accusations that it committed genocide. Armenian terrorists groups, most prominently the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA), attacked Turkish government officials around the world, seeking to galvanize momentum for the establishment of an independent Armenian state and bring attention to the Armenian genocide issue. A Soviet Republic until 1991, Armenia achieved its independence shortly after the Union's collapse, fulfilling the chief goal of Armenian terrorists. <br />
