Garry Kasparov: I would like to return to Baku, but only when any  person of Armenian origin is able to do it 

ArmInfo.Of course, I would like to return to Baku just to see it, but only when when any person  of Armenian origin is able to do it . Garry Kasparov, the 13th world chess champion, stated this in an interview with journalist Yuri Dud.

Thus, in response to a request to express his attitude towards the  political system that Heydar Aliyev created in independent  Azerbaijan, Kasparov noted that a family dictatorship was established  there.  <Therefore, I never had any questions about this, and I never  returned there. Although there were some encroachments from Aliyev  senior, they say it would certainly be nice for a person so famous to  return to his historical homeland>, the chess player said.

Clarifying the opinion, that, he always refused this proposal,  Kasparov gave an affirmative answer. "I have always said that of  course I would like to return to Baku, just to see it, but only when  it is possible for any person of Armenian origin," the chess player  summed up.

Garry Kasparov was born in Baku on April 13, 1963. He left Baku in  January 1990, when the pogroms of Armenians began.
