A special made-for-television production about Gourgen Yanikian entitled
“In My Defence” and starring acclaimed English actor Edward Woodward is now
available for viewing online. The half-hour programme is a monologue in
which Woodward, appearing as Gourgen Yanikian, describes his life
experiences and explains the reasons why he assassinated two Turkish
diplomats in Santa Barbara, California, in 1973, a double killing that
caused shockwaves around the world.
The programme was written and devised by Jack Emery, a renowned British
film producer and director, and was broadcast on BBC2 in 1991.
