Armenia, Türkiye, Public Diplomacy, Soft Power, DiasporaAbstract
Even in the absence of diplomatic relations, the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Turkey had several attempts at diplomatic contact. Along with official and institutionalized contacts between the two countries in multidisciplinary format, the toolkit of Public Diplomacy and Soft Power was applied as well. Moreover, these tools were used by various actors interested in the process of normalization of the Turkish and Armenian-Turkish relations. Apart from the scope of contacts with the Republic of Armenia, the Turkish side used Public Diplomacy and Soft Power in relations towards the Armenian diaspora, trying to soften the attitude of the* Armenians living in different countries towards (towards չեմ հասկանում ինչ ա նշանակում) Turkey and Turkish nation.
