A special made-for-television production about Gourgen Yanikian entitled
“In My Defence” and starring acclaimed English actor Edward Woodward is now

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.
