If you want to bring up per capita, do compare 4300/805900 to 40000/2375259. Nearly 10x the members, less than 3x the population.
They really aren't comparable.



Hamas is not the government of Palestinians either. Not sure about any connections to Armenian government but Dashnak and Hunchak parties of whose fighters participated in extensive killings did become the creators of Armenia. Not sure what the number of members have to do with it.
Hamas won the 2006 legislative election in all of palestine, and continue to hold a supermajority in the largely defunct 'Palestinian Legislative Council'. The reason that it isn't the government is that Fatah decided that this whole democracy thing isn't so great after all. They do however govern the area in question, Gaza. What territory does ASALA govern?
