The Council of Europe does welcome the initiative of President
Serzh Sargsyan, who invited his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul
to a qualifying football match, Mr Lluis Maria de Puig, President
of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, said in a
conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"I can’t foresee the result of ‘football diplomacy’ but all steps that
can originate a Turkish-Armenian dialog should be welcomed. I know
that the two states experience problems but they can be overcome. Serzh
Sargsyan’s initiative was a manifestation of good will," he said.
The World Cup 2010 qualifying match is due in Yerevan on September 6.
