In 1981 four members of ASALA seized the Turkish consulate in Paris and, after negotiations, surrendered on the condition that their trial be open and public. The Ghaplanyan Theatre's Parisian Verdict puts that trial on stage: in the theatre's own account, the stance of the four young men and the words of their defence lawyer, Patrick Devedjian, prove to the court and to the world that they are claimants.

The production dates from 2015, the centenary of the Armenian Genocide, and has been performed 100 times since. The theatre says its message lands rather hardest with the young.

Hrachya Harutyunyan is the Judge, Artur Utmazyan plays Patrick Devedjian and Armen Barseghyan Pierre Duval.
