Yegin also stressed that this step is a matter of protecting civilians instead of combating them. "The perception in the 1990s was very different," he said, arguing that during that time people suffered because the forces that were supposed to protect them also conducted attacks.
Jegin je takođe istakao da je ovaj korak pitanje zaštite civila, a ne borbe protiv njih. „Percepcija je bila sasvim drugačija devedesetih godina“, rekao je on, tvrdeći da su u tom periodu ljudi ispaštali zato što su snage koje je trebalo da ih štite takođe vršile napade na njih.
