Today Vestnik Kavkaza hosted a conference devoted to the 20th
anniversary of the Khojaly tragedy. Member of the Moscow State
Institute for Foreign Affairs Leonid Gusyev took part in the event.
According to Gusyev, the history of post-Soviet countries needs
serious consideration.
"Twenty years ago the Soviet Union was a place where several
tragic events were unfolding. I mean those of Sumgait, Khojaly and
Nagorno-Karabakh," Gusyev said.
"Those who were born in the 90s do not remember these events.
Moreover, they do not learn about them at school, as the history of
the late 20th century is taught rather badly," he admitted.
"We - experts and tutors - should do our best to fill this gap,"
he concluded.
