EU Commissioner for Enlargement Oli Rehn welcomed the decision of
Turkey’s President to attend the football game in Yerevan. "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 normalization of relations between these two countries,
which would enhance stability in the region and prepare the ground
for strengthened regional cooperation," Oli Rehn said.
