The Red Armenian Army (RAA), also known as the Armenian Red Army, was a small militant organization, which organized a single unsuccessful attack against the Turkish Consul General, Kemalettin Demirer, on 1 July 1982 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. No one sustained any injuries from this attack.

A member of the group named Penyemin Evingulu was later sentenced to six years in prison for his role in the incident. Three additional members of the group are still at large.

The Armenian Red Army has not claimed any attacks in over two decades and is presumed to be disbanded and inactive.
