The Armenian national football team lost to Turkey Armenia 2-0 in a
World Cup qualifying group game on Wednesday.
The two teams met in Bursa for a football game that was rich in
political texture but low in sporting importance. Both teams had lost
hopes of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but the
match was still interesting because it came as the two countries take
steps toward normalization.
The game at Bursa Ataturk Stadium was watched by Turkish President
Abdullah Gul, Armenian President Serge Sarkisian and the chief of
world football’s governing body, FIFA, Michel Platini.
