/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Cooperation between non-governmental organizations
and opposition forces will have a positive impact on the development
of the Armenia-Turkey bilateral relations, said Etyen Mahcupyan, head
of TESEV Democratization program and columnist at Zaman newspaper. In
his words, development of democracy in Armenia and Turkey may become
a stimulus for the development of bilateral relations.
He also underscored that the official line to normalize the
Armenian-Turkey relations has reached a deadlock and development
of relations between non-governmental organizations appears as
an alternative. Formation of a civic society is essential for the
development of Armenia and Turkey, he considers.
