Negotiations Stumble over Karabakh Status

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The young people in Azerbaijan are growing more radical than their parents. When the elder generation watch the propaganda on TV they still remember their Armenian friends and they know that not all Armenians are invaders," British journalist Thomas de Waal said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net In his words, the young generation lacks this experience what conveys a greater impulse to the calls for war and impedes the negotiation process.



"I think Armenia doesn't fully understand the pain that Azeris suffer over the loss of the territories. I am not speaking about Karabakh. I am speaking about the big territories and towns which are completely ruined and empty now - Aghdam, Fizuli, Jabrail, Kabatly… But it's known that any peaceful agreement will provide for the return of these territories. Armenians should openly speak of it to make Azerbaijani radicals think what they want to fight for. As a matter of fact, 90% of the issues are settled and the negotiation process stumbles over the Karabakh status only," he said.
