The assassination of Taha Carım, a Turkish diplomat and ambassador to the Holy See, took place on 9 June 1977 in Rome, Italy.
The fatal attack on Carım took place two years after the assassination of a Turkish ambassador to Austria, Daniş Tunalıgil and assassination of a Turkish ambassador to France, Ismail Erez by the Armenian militant organization Justice Commandos of the Armenian Genocide (JCAG).
Some time later, Ambassador Carım requested the Italian police to lift the security service.
