Area of shade change inside of one color in the pile of a rug. This is often attributable to a difference in dye lots or a difference in the underlying wool color. If sand and tan wool are both died blue they can look the same when new but after many years can become of different shades. There is also deliberate fake abrash where weavers weave in bands of different shades to give it an antique or village look. One humorous aspect of this is that in a book by a German Expert (Heinrich Jacoby) abrash was translated as hairbrush. Just as amusing is that some people laugh at Jacoby not realizing it was a translators mistake.

It is alleges that he was blackmailed by the Israelis to cover up his fathers involvement with the Dulles brothers smuggling of Nazi' and their loot after W.W.II with the help of the Vatican. Loftus & Aarons. Secret War page 144. (I have problems with this part that explanation seems too pat and convenient. It may well be a fantasy of the Mossad.)

Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia
An international Armenian terrorist group. Two factions, one a hard-core terrorist group that believed in indiscriminate slaughter of innocents as a political tool. The hard-core wing was headed by Hagop Hagopian. A moderate wing was headed by Monte Melkonian until his death in Nagorno Karabakh in 1993. The moderates fought a far more civilized war seeing clear distinctions between "legitimate' targets and innocent bystanders. The moderates were very successful transitioning into freedom fighters and helping to liberate Nagorno Karabakh.
