On August 7, a group of people will arrive at Yerevan’s Yerablur to
commemorate the martyrs of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation
of Armenia (ASALA), Arman Mkhitaryan, Chairman of the Nakhnyats
Hetqerov (In the footsteps of ancestors) NGO, told journalists
on Monday.

“Every year will hold a march in commemoration of ASALA martyrs. This
armed liberation struggle is one of the best pages of our history,
which is hardly known to the public. This organization is not mentioned
in history textbooks,” he said.

“Off-the-record I asked different officials for the reasons and
they gave different answers, namely, that it was terrorism. I asked
them what the Nemesis actions were, but never received an answer,”
Mkhitaryan said.

However, Armenia’s government has a certain attitude to ASALA.

Evidence thereof is that a number of ASALA members are buried at
Yerablur.
