    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish President Abdullah Gul's proposal for
    a regular meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders in
    Turkey indicates Ankara's intention to maintain initiative in the
    South Caucasus geopolitics, a Turkish expert said.

    "With the help of Turkey, the West wants to strengthen its positions
    in the Nagorno Karabakh process," Tural Kerimli said.

    Turkey has tools of pressure on Armenia, which understand that the
    status of Russia's outpost will hamper its economic growth, according
    to him.

    "The meeting in Istanbul will prepare the ground for Armenian-Azeri
    talks in the United States," Kerimli concluded, 1news.az reports.

    Turkish President Abdullah Gul is reported to be readying to take
    another bold step to contribute to regional peace in the Caucasus
    by soon hosting a trilateral summit with the presidents of Armenia
    and Azerbaijan.

    Gul, who introduced his proposal for the trilateral meeting during
    his meeting with Azerbaijan's visiting President Ilham Aliyev on
    Wednesday, received a positive response from the Azerbaijani leader,
    diplomatic sources said.

    "The summit may take place in a few months," said a Turkish official
    on condition of anonymity.
