PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey has assumed a pretentious diplomatic program. According to www.globalhye.com website, supposing that Hrant Dink's assassination provided the Armenian diaspora with a heavy trump card for the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Turkish expert Ercan Yavuz writes, "A delegation consisting of 10 members of the Turkish parliament led by head of the U.S.-Turkey friendship group Egmen Bashi will pay a visit to the United States February 9-16 to launch lobbying in the Congress. The delegation members will meet with the Congressmen and NGO representatives. At the same time Turkish FM Abdullah Gul will visit European states. Meetings with outstanding figures of the Armenian diaspora are expected."



According to the source, establishment of a dialogue with the Armenian diaspora is another important move in Turkey's strategic program. During Hrant Dink's funeral the Turkish parliament offered the Armenian diaspora to take part in the opening ceremony of the Armenian Church on Akhtamar.
