"I warmly welcome President Gul’s decision to attend the World Cup
qualifying match between Armenia and Turkey in Yerevan on Saturday. The
crisis in Georgia has underlined the importance of good neighbourly
relations in the region, including Turkish-Armenian relations. I hope
that President Gul’s important first step will be soon followed by
others that lead to a full normalisation of relations between these
two countries, which would enhance stability in the region and prepare
the ground for strengthened regional cooperation."
