Atilla Altıkat (* 1937 in Istanbul; † 29. August 1982 in Ottawa, Kanada) war türkischer Militärattaché und Oberst der Türkischen Streitkräften.

Altıkat absolvierte die Kriegsakademie und wurde 1981 zum Militärattaché in Ottawa ernannt. Am 23. August 1982 um 09:00 Uhr wurde er durch neun Kugeln getroffen. Sein Fahrzeug stand zu dem Zeitpunkt an einer roten Ampel. Die Täter des Mordes wurden nie ausfindig gemacht, jedoch hat sich die armenische terroristische Untergrundorganisation ASALA dazu bekannt.


Würdigung

Im Stadtzbezirk Seyhan der Stadt Adana ist eine Brücke nach ihm benannt.

Altıkat war verheiratet und Vater von zwei Kindern.

Colonel Atilla Altıkat was the Turkish military attaché to Ottawa, Canada, who was assassinated in 1982. The Armenian militant group, Justice Commandos Against Armenian Genocide, claimed responsibility for the attack.[1] The act was forcefully condemned by the Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau.[2]

Before being assigned to Ottawa in 1981, Altıkat had been an officer in the Turkish Air Force. He was married and had two teenage children. Altikat was killed on his way to work at around 9:00 a.m. on August 23, 1982. When his car stopped for a red light on the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway at Island Park Drive, a car stopped nearby, a passenger got out and fired nine shots from a 9mm Browning handgun through the passenger window of the car, killing the diplomat instantly.[3]

The attack was one in a series of attacks on Turkish diplomats around the world. On April 8, 1982, the Turkish Commercial Counselor in Ottawa, Kani Güngör, had been seriously injured in a failed assassination attempt. Two years later, a group of Armenian guerrillas attacked the Turkish Embassy in Ottawa, killing a Canadian security guard and seriously injuring the ambassador. While those responsible for the other two attacks were caught and prosecuted, the killing of Altıkat remains unsolved, despite the offer of a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.[1]

A monument was inaugurated, on 20 September 2012, to the memory of Col. Altıkat, in Ottowa. The inaguration ceremony was attended by his widow and two children, as well as the Foreign Ministers of Turkey and Canada, Ahmet Davutoğlu and John Baird, respectively.[4]
