/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Oukht Ararati bears no relation to ASALA, said Tigran
Pashabezyan, Oukht Ararati coordinator dealing with former prisoners,
members of ASALA.
"ASALA is and will be a secret organization. It will exist unless
Armenian historical lands are returned," he said.
According to Pashabezyan, Oukht Ararati’s goal is prevention of
ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols and formation of common
Armenian defense.
For his part, founder and commander of Hoktemberyan division of the
Armenian Army of Independence Lyova Sahakyan commented on description
of the organization as terrorist, "I prefer to be named aggressor
rather than beggar."
