"Agdam is the Azerbaijani town. This city really was destroyed during the war in Karabakh. Everything was destroyed, only the mosque remained intact. I can say about Agdam that in this city there are no Armenians, it is "dead" town, said a full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences of Armenian descent Abel Aganbegyan told.
A.Aganbegyan considers himself not guilty in separatism in Nagorno-Karabakh, "I do not consider myself guilty of conflict casualties. How many people died there? More people were killed In Yugoslavia and Ukraine. As far as I know, during the Karabakh “GRAD”, which lead to great destruction, was not used. "
A.Aganbegyan also commented on the current economic situation in Armenia: "The country has a very difficult economic situation. It is three times worse than in Russia. Reforms were stopped, industrial enterprises do not work. People do not get paid, the population massively leave the country due to poverty. "
Abel Aganbegyan was one of the initiators of annexation of Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia. During "perestroika" years A.Aganbegyan was an adviser to Mikhail Gorbachev on economic issues.
