RA President’s invitation to Turkish President to watch the football
match together is very beautiful and sincere, and Gul should leave
for Armenia without fail. Kaan Soyak, the Co-chairman of Board of
the Turkish-Armenian Business Union, stated adding that after the
invitation they sent a message of greeting to the RA President.

"You do what has not been done for many years. You treat quietly all
kinds of issues with Turkey. In this way you will be able to solve
all problems on both sides," the message read.

Mentioning that he expects Turkey to answer the invitation positively,
Soyak stated that becoming Presidents of such "reconciliation
apologists" as Gul and Sargsyan is a great possibility: "If these two
leaders do not solve the problem, who will solve them then?" Soyak
said adding that "the general atmosphere in connection with the
invitation is positive in Armenia."

Kaan Soyak also said that the Armenia-Turkey national teams’ match
will "become an occasion for opening a new page in the relations of
the two countries."
