YEREVAN (Reuters) -- Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian said on October 12 he would make a landmark trip to Turkey to attend a football match this week, with the neighbours bidding for rapprochement after a century of hostility.

"Providing nothing extraordinary happens in these two days, I will go to Bursa and support my favourite team," he told reporters on departure from Yerevan for talks in Moscow.

"I see no serious basis not to accept this invitation."

RFE/RL has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian government.
