"The passage of time makes things always more difficult to settle," Barkey said. "What people do not understand is that in conflictual situations, barring unexpected dramatic developments, time works against the simplest compromise."
„Kako vreme ide, sve je teže rešiti probleme“, kaže Barki. „Ljudi jednostavno ne razumeju da u konfliktnim situacijama, ako se ne desi nešto neočekivano dramatično, vreme radi protiv najednostavnijeg kompromisa.“
