Jirair Libaridian: â€œToday, time works in favor of Azerbaijanâ€

APA reports that Huseynov asked Libaridian that whether he gave any advice to Ter-Petrosian on occupation and he was sorry on his advices.

Libaridian said that he didnâ€™t regret for his advices to Ter-Petrossian: â€œTer-Petrossian resigned, because he wanted a peace. He had mistakes. We said that Armenia was a weak country and how could it achieve the development? But others demanded the resignation of Ter-Petrossian for change of political line.â€

According to the Armenian expert, the sides of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict must consider time frame in the settlement of the conflict: â€œToday, time works in favor of Azerbaijan. But there can be other argument that time will work in favor of Armenia. Calculations are not always correct. You can say that you have oil, your army is strong and etc. But you donâ€™t know how the process will continue. Calculations are being carried out and preference is being given to Azerbaijan. But new Armenian generation is formed in Karabakh. 30-year-old people in Karabakh donâ€™t know themselves inside Azerbaijan. We must try and make such formula that leads to the future. Both sides can compromise. Super patriotic principle is not the settlement of the conflict. Current ceasefire has been established temporarily. I donâ€™t believe in mediators and prefer direct negotiations. The experience proves it.â€
