    WATCHING FOOTBALL NOT TO BE A POLICY

    "I have stated before that football should not be drawn in
    interstate relations. It is mere football," Hovhannes Igityan, ANM
    Board Member and Former Head of Foreign Affairs commission at NA,
    told NEWS.am. According to him, arrival of Turkish President Gul to
    Armenia was a courtesy visit and Serzh Sargsyan should go there just
    to watch football.

    "It should not be linked with the establishment of relations, in
    particular making preconditions on this matter in unacceptable,"
    Igityan said. "Eventually, Turkish President arrived in Armenia
    without any preconditions. However, Armenian side fell into its
    trap, when stated that will go to Turkey only in case if the border
    gate is open. I have no clue how hereupon Serge Sargsyan will go
    to Turkey. In any case it would be wise of his to find the means of
    informing about his visit as just a football fan.Football is a game
    to be watched. Mixing it up with interstate relations is a diplomatic
    blunder.
