    Turkish PM says Armenian president faced problems attending football match


    ["TURKISH PREMIER SAYS ALSO ARMENIAN PRESIDENT HAD SOME PROBLEMS REGARDING
    HIS VISIT TO TURKEY" - AA headline]

    ANKARA (A.A) -Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on
    Thursday [15 October] that also Armenian President Serzh Sargsian
    had some problems regarding his visit to Turkey to watch a World Cup
    qualifying match between the soccer teams of Turkey and Armenia in the
    northwestern province of Bursa.


    Prior to his departure for Iraq, Erdogan held a press conference at Esenboga
    Airport in Ankara.

    Replying to a question on the match and Turkish-Armenian relations, Erdogan
    said, "the process (between Turkey and Armenia) started with AK (Justice and
    Development) Party's coming into the political power. We came to power to
    establish friendly relations with countries."

    "Some speculations took place regarding Wednesday's match. But all of you
    should know that also Sargsian had some problems regarding his visit. He
    faced some problems stemming from the opposition in his country. We took all
    necessary measures. The match took place in a peaceful atmosphere," he
    stated.
