The Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) will air a World
Cup qualifying match between the Turkish and Armenian national teams
on Saturday, TRT officials have announced.

Turkish "Today’s Zaman" reports that a nine-member TRT team will
travel to Armenia to cover the game. But while in Armenia, they will
also have interviews with Armenian nationals in the capital city
of Yerevan and prepare news features to give the Turkish audience a
better insight into daily life in their neighboring country.

The TRT recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Armenia’s
state-owned Public Television Company to cooperate in a number
of areas. The document, signed in Ankara on Aug. 26, envisages
that the two broadcasters will produce TV programs that will help
improve dialogue between Turkey and Armenia, exchange information
and experiences and collaborate on entertainment and drama programs
and documentaries.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
