YEREVAN. - People's diplomacy can be effective only if there is some
discourse at official level, Armenia's Yerevan Press Club President
Boris Navasardyan said at a press conference on Saturday.
Reflecting on the role of the NGOs in people's diplomacy, he noted
that even though the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will not be resolved
through such a diplomacy, their organization continues to cooperate
with their Azerbaijani counterparts.
`[But] it is quite different in the case of Turkey. There are circles
there that are interested in solving some political issues,'
Navasardyan stressed.
In his view, in many cases, the NGOs are accused of criticizing the
state. But, as per Navasardyan, the NGOs should help the authorities
achieve `high scores' at international level.
Boris Navasardyan also noted that the Armenian society comprehends
with difficulty as to what the NGOs do. According to him, the Armenian
society unequivocally accepts the actions taken solely by the
authorities and the political opposition.
