Davutoglu: Turkey, Armenia to sign deal before match

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that the protocol to normalize relations with Armenia would be signed before the soccer game between Turkish and Armenian national teams.



Davutoglu held a news conference to give information about his contacts during the UN General Assembly meetings in New York and the foreign policy agenda in October.



Asked whether the border crossing would be opened for a day for the game, Davutoglu said, "we need to assess the process to make a decision to open border crossing."



Turkey will play against Armenia on October 14 in the World Cup European Group Five qualifying round to keep hopes to play in the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 alive.
