  We search for angular correlation of gamma-ray bursts with cataloged quasars,
BL Lac objects, and AGN using a large sample of relatively well-localized
bursts detected by WATCH on board GRANAT and EURECA, IPN, and BATSE (327 bursts
total). A statistically significant (99.99% confidence) correlation between GRB
and M_B<-21 AGN in the redshift range 0.1<z<0.32 is found. The correlation with
AGN is detected, with a lower significance, in three independent GRB datasets.
The correlation amplitude implies that, depending on the AGN catalog
completeness, 10% to 100% of bursts with peak fluxes in the range 3-30x10**-6
erg/s/cm^2 in the 100-500 keV band are physically related to AGN. The
established distance scale corresponds to the energy release of order 10**52
ergs per burst.
