Dear Mr. Gunn:
This is a final response to your 22 January 2013 Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request, received in the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator on
30 January 2013, for the following:
"any and all segregable information and/or records on the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation (ARF), sometimes referred to as Tashnak,
Tashnag, and Dashnak, and their youth movement the Armenian Youth
Federation, between the years 1955 and 1995."
We have assigned your request the reference number above. Please use this number when
corresponding so that we can identify it easily.
Our records show that you previously requested information on the same subject in
your earlier request (F-2011-00962) which we responded to you on 1 April 2011.
Therefore, we conducted an updated search of our previously released database and
located three additional documents, totaling 72 pages, which we believe to be responsive
to your request. Please be advised that these documents were released as part of another
release program. Please also note that you are entitled to the first 100 pages free and that
we will take the enclosed 72 pages and the 30 pages provided to you in your earlier request
as noted in paragraph 4 below into account in any future request on the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation or the Armenian Youth Federation.

Approved for Release: 2021/10/22 C05960547
For any other information regarding the subject of your request, and as we stated in
our 1 April 2011 response to your 9 March 2011 request on this same subject, in
accordance with section 3.6(a) of Executive Order 13526, the CIA can neither confirm nor
deny the existence or nonexistence of records responsive to your request. The fact of the
existence or nonexistence of requested records is currently and properly classified and is
intelligence sources and methods information that is protected from disclosure by section 6
of the CIA Act of 1949, as amended, and section 102A(i)(1) of the National Security Act of
1947, as amended. Therefore, your request is denied pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(1)
and (b)(3). I have enclosed an explanation of these exemptions for your reference and
retention. As the CIA Information and Privacy Coordinator, I am the CIA official
responsible for this determination. You have the right to appeal this response to the
Agency Release Panel, in my care, within 45 days from the date of this letter. Please
include the basis of your appeal.
Sincerely,
Michele Meeks
Information and Privacy Coordinator
