Yerevan /Mediamax/. Senior associate at Russia and Eurasia Program
at Carnegie Endowment, author of "Black Garden" book Thomas de Waal
thinks that the Azerbaijani authorities were late to understand that
the deal on extradition and pardon of Ramil Safarov who killed an
Armenian officer was a mistake.
During a press conference in Yerevan today, the British expert said
that he is a hero for many people in Azerbaijan but there are also
people who "were horrified by what happened", Mediamax reports.
Touching upon the public moods in Azerbaijan, Thomas de Waal said
that the Karabakh thematic is usually "not the first and the second
and even not the fifth topic for talks".
"I wouldn't say that the Azerbaijani society is boiling and bubbling
over Karabakh. At the same time, however, the young generation is
more aggressive to the issue than their fathers and grandfathers",
noted Thomas de Waal.
