    ARMENIAN POLITICAL ANALYST: GUL'S VISIT TO SWITZERLAND CANNOT HAVE IMPACT ON RESUMING ARMENIAN-TURKISH PROCESS

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 24, ARMENPRESS: The state visit of the President of
    Turkey Abdullah Gul to Switzerland cannot have any impact on resuming
    the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, head of
    the voskanapat.info center, political analyst Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan
    said speaking to Armenpress, adding that Switzerland has always come
    forth as a platform of reconciliation and not the main reconciler.

    At the invitation of the President of Switzerland Abdullah Gul is
    leaving for Bern and it is the first state visit to Switzerland in
    Turkey's history. "The visit of the Turkish president is not guided
    with the participation of the USA delegation, Minsk Group co-chairs
    or any other broker, which means that this visit is connected with
    these two states," Melik-Shahnazaryan explained.

    President of Switzerland Doris Leuthard in an interview to a Turkish
    newspaper weeks ago noted that the protocols signed a year ago in
    Zurich have remained on the table and currently "silent diplomatic"
    phase continues between the parties.

    Commenting on this fact the political analyst said that both the
    Armenians and Turks would like to live in peace and friendly atmosphere
    but it will be possible only in case Turkey admits its guilt. "Turkey
    must make the first step of trust by admitting its crime. The "silent
    diplomacy" Turkey must direct toward its own people as for tens of
    years it has spread negative attitude toward Armenians.

    It is difficult for Turkey to explain to its people that it lied to
    them for 100 years," Melik-Shahnazaryan said, pointing out that today
    Turkey has much to do with its own people than with Armenians.
