Just days after Turkey and Armenia signed a historic accord to restore relations after decades of hostility, the two countries are preparing to face each other on the football pitch.

They meet in a World Cup qualifying game on Wednesday when the Armenian side travels to Bursa in Turkey, and although both sides are out of the running for the 2010 finals, the game is seen as an important further step in restoring relations. “Here, supporters from both countries reflect on the signing of the accord and look ahead to Wednesday's game. I think this peace agreement will see more cooperation between Turkey and Armenia and a better future for the two countries. Turks and Armenians haven't had any communication in the past and this has been the problem. Once you start to get to know each other you'll see that you are quite similar,” says Ozan Kemal Çullu, 37, in İstanbul.
