"I warmly welcome President Gül'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 Gül's important first step will be soon followed by others that lead to a full normalisation of relations between these two countries, which would enhance stability in the region and prepare the ground for strengthened regional cooperation."
