Turkey and Armenia kick-off new ties

After agreeing at the weekend to establish diplomatic ties after a century of hostility, Turkey and Armenia are to meet again on the football pitch.

They meet in world cup qualifying on Wednesday when the Armenian side travels to Bursa.

Both countries have failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup but it is hoped that the game, now more symbolic than competitive, can at least help foster more good relations.
