"We must not forget that Karabakh is Azerbaijan. According to international law, this is his territory, and he fought for the return of these lands. This was stated by Alexei Naumov, an expert of the Russian Council on International Affairs, who was a guest on Russia's "60 Minutes" program on Russia 1 TV channel, commenting on video footage of Armenians leaving Kalbajar burning houses and other buildings there. "Most importantly, when official Baku took the city of Shusha, it generously agreed to allow peacekeepers into the area, and the regions to be gradually returned to Azerbaijan.
Accordingly, I can not imagine how Azerbaijan can behave more generously in this situation ... And the Armenians were given a week to leave these regions, "said the expert. Naumov also recalled that Azerbaijanis fled Kalbajar naked and barefoot in 1993: "This is a completely tragic situation, which should not be forgotten today. Yes, it happened a long time ago, but we cannot forget it. ”He spoke about the inadequate behavior of the Armenian government in this situation: It is clear that after the military defeat you want to take revenge, clench your fists and return, as they think, "yours". But we know what revenge leads to. We have seen it very well in Europe in the twentieth century. " At the end of his speech, the expert said that the Prime Minister of Armenia Nicole Pashkina should swallow her pride and call Ilham Aliyev. "Azerbaijan is behaving in such a situation today with maximum generosity, because we cannot forget 1993," he concluded.
