 The Armenian national football team lost to Turkey Armenia 2-0 in a World Cup qualifying group game on Wednesday.
The two teams met in Bursa for a football game that was rich in political texture but low in sporting importance. Both teams had lost hopes of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but the match was still interesting because it came as the two countries take steps toward normalization.
The game at Bursa Atatürk Stadium was watched by Turkish President Abdullah Gül, Armenian President Serge Sarkisian and the chief of world football’s governing body, FIFA, Michel Platini.
