“WE WON ON THE KARABAKH BATTLEFIELD BUT TODAY WE ARE INFERIOR IN PROPAGANDA
AND INFORMATION WAR,” NEMESIS’ CHAIRMAN STATES
YEREVAN, AUGUST 7, NOYAN TAPAN. 24 years ago, two members of the
ASALA (Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia) Levon
Ekmekchian and Zohrab Sargsian were killed by Turkish policemen
during an armed attack at Ankara Airport. On the occasion of this
anniversary, members of the Memesis charity organization on August
7 visited Erablur Pantheon and laid wreaths at the memorial to ASALA
martyrs. Nemesis’ Chairman Vazgen Petrosian said: “Since that incident
in 1982, the Diaspora has commemorated August 7 as a day of remembrance
of martyrs of the modern armed liberation struggle.” According to him,
25 years ago armed struggle was perceived as “advertisement terrorism”:
such actions made the powerful of the world to pay attention to the
Armenian Cause.
Speaking about negotiations on the Karabakh problem, V. Petrosian said:
“We won on the battlefield but today we are inferior in the propaganda
and information war.”
