Today the Armenian delegation headed by president Serzh Sargsyan left for Turkey to watch the football qualification match 2010 between the teams of Armenia and Turkey in Bursa city of Turkey. The Turkish foreign minister Ahmed Davutoglu met the president’s delegation in the airport of Bursa. From the airport Serzh Sargsyan went to Holiday Inn hotel, where he met with the Armenian national football team. Later his delegation arrived at Almira hotel in Bursa, where he was met by Turkish president Abdullah Gull. In this hotel the Armenian and Turkish presidents had a face-to-face meeting, which was followed by a wider negotiation between the Armenian and Turkish delegations. After the meeting a dinner was organized in the name of the Armenian president. After the dinner the delegations left for the stadium after Ataturk to watch the football match. It is a pity that the Armenian team was beaten 2:0 as last time when they were playing in their own country. However, the bad thing is that the play of our team was very like the confused behavior of the foreign minister Edward Nalbandyan during the process of signing the Armenia-Turkey protocols on Saturday. We need sport optimism to really hope that the football diplomacy will not lose like the football match. Of course if it has not lost yet.
