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.
