    ON ANKARA'S "SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY" WITH ARMENIA

    Another possible "smart" step by the Turkish authorities, which are
    trying to simulate an intensified Armenian-Turkish dialogue before
    the international community is delegating members of the youth wings
    of the ruling Justice and Development Party, the opposition Republican
    People's Party (CHP) and the Kurdish party Peace and Democracy Party,
    the expert in Turkic studies Andranik Ispiryan told NEWS.am.

    According to him, in sending the leader of the Strong Turkey Party
    tuna Beklevic to Armenia pursued the same aim, namely, convincing
    the international community that Armenia and Turkey had established
    a dialogue - even if not at the highest level, but... However, the
    expert stressed that Ankara failed to achieve its aim - making a stir
    about Beklevic's visit throughout the world - as the Turkish political
    figure's mission in Armenia partially failed. He was unable to "have
    an audience" at the Armenian foreign office, which would give greater
    weight to his "business trip." Ispiryan stressed that Turkey will
    not take more serious steps to revitalize its dialogue with Armenia,
    as, on the threshold of parliamentary elections, the authorities will
    not dare take such a risk.

    The expert also pointed out that the Strong Turkey Party does not
    have any serious political weight. It does not plan to take part
    in the parliamentary elections. It only plans to run for local
    government bodies.
