"We see that the Armenian and Azerbaijani societies have preserved
the same dispositions they had 20 years ago. Azerbaijani insist
that Armenians give them territories, Armenians are not ready to
give Karabakh, even if the Armenian-Turkish border opens. To me,
the perspectives for Armenian-Azerbaijani reconciliation are not
many," leading expert of Moscow Institute of International Economy
and International Affairs Alexander Krilov said in his address during
the conference on Baku pogroms of 1990 held in Yerevan.
According to him, still long-years’ work is required so that
the societies reconcile and only after this one can speak about
agreements. The expert is convinced that MG suggestions have a drawback
– they are made not taking the public opinion into account.
Krilov is sure the reconciliation is not to come soon.
"If it goes about compromises, surely, these are to take tens of
years," the expert said.
"Status quo is not that bad either for Armenia or Azerbaijan,"
he highlighted.
