ArmInfo. The democratic youth movement of Turkey "Young Civilians" has
called on authorities to open Turkey’s border with Armenia for 24 hours
on Sept 6 in connection with the Armenia-Turkey FIFA 2010 qualification
match in Yerevan, reports Today’s Zaman.

The Movement says that this will make it easier for supporters to get
to Yerevan. "We just want to see the game and then return home," say
the youth and note that this match is an excellent chance for Turkey
and Armenia to normalize their relations.
