All precautions have been taken to prevent any incidents during
the upcoming national football game between Turkey and Armenia,
the governor of the host city said.
"A warm welcome here will earn prestige not only for Bursa but also
for the country and boost Turkey's image," Å~^ahabettin Harput,
the governor of the northwestern city of Bursa told the Anatolia
news agency.
Ataturk Stadium in Bursa, the automobile and textile capital of
Turkey, will host a 2012 World Cup Qualifying Group 5 game between
Turkey and Armenia on Wednesday. Intense measures have been taken in
the city for the national game.
"The Armenia game will be beyond an ordinary football match,"
said Gov. Harput. We will not let any wrongdoing happen before,
during or after the game that will damage the relations between the
two countries."
More than 2,000 police officials will be on duty on the match day,
and reinforcements can be called in from neighboring cities. Every
fan will be searched before entering the stadium, and nothing will
be allowed in but Turkish flags and red-white fabric. No provocative
chanting and banners will be allowed, said Harput. The spectators
will not even be allowed to bring in pieces of cardboard to sit on,
as they could write slogans on them, Hurriyet Daily reported.
