Old-school ties turn into garrottes after deal bombs
Andrew Rule & John Silvester January 29, 2011
THE bomb exploded under the Turkish consulate in South Yarra well after midnight, when the streets were almost empty. It blew one of the men who made it into pieces. On one piece of flesh-and-bone, police recovered a receipt that led them to a Sydney restaurant.
There they found 174 sticks of gelignite and one Levon Demirian, an Armenian ''patriot'' who, with the dead man Hagop Levonian, had put the bomb in a white Torana and parked it under the building.
By a miracle, the bomb had gone off while Levonian was still setting the timing device, turning him into an instant martyr. It was supposed to explode hours later, when the five-storey building and nearby Toorak Road would be full of people and the bombers safe back in Sydney.
The toll could have been terrible - just one more belated, senseless payback for Turkish genocide of Armenians in 1915, a blood vendetta that has haunted Turkey for generations.All this happened on November 23, 1986. The consulate has long gone from 44 Caroline Street and the handsome building strata-titled and sold off to individual buyers who fancied a part of the heart of South Yarra.
When the third floor was put on the market last year, the building's history - as, arguably, the site of Australia's first modern terrorist act - was no more than a conversation starter. More practical issues concerned potential buyers such as Toorak businessman Grant Custance.

Foreign investors should stay away from chanel replica sale that do not follow IPR and patent laws. If counterfeits are not controlled in your country, it can have far-reaching effects on the economy. Spread the word and tell your friends the reasons for discouraging counterfeits. Replica Chanel products are made by bonded laborers and the money is used to fund terror organizations. This in itself is enough reason to discourage this chanel replica sale. Although, Chanel has been using preventive measures to stop the sale of counterfeit products, the problem, sometimes, cannot be handled by the Company alone. The public should be made aware of the ill-effects of encouraging counterfeiters and lend a hand to halt the menace. Chanel constantly scrutinizes websites and keeps a chanel replica sale, but they can only do what the law permits. Never buy a Chanel bag or other items from an unauthorized dealer.
