When "siyaset" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "siyaset is" sounds like "siyaset-iz").
Maintain the stress-timed rhythm of English: compress unstressed syllables rapidly so the beat of "siyaset" aligns naturally with adjacent words.
