05 September 2008 [13:03] - TODAY.AZ
Details of Turkish President Abdullah Gul’s visit to Armenia have been made public.
APA reports that Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian will meet Abdullah Gul at Zvartnots airport.

Before getting off the plane Abdullah Gul will put on bullet-proof jacket. Turkish delegation will go to Armenian President’s Palace through special security corridor. Following one-on-one meeting of the presidents Serzh Sargsyan will give iftar (the meal that breaks the fast each evening at sundown) in honor of Abdullah Gul. Iftar time will be at 18.33 (Turkey time) in Yerevan tomorrow.

After breaking his fast, Abdullah Gul along with Serzh Sargsyan will go to Razdan stadium, where Armenia-Turkey match will take place. Security issues of the visit have been thoroughly agreed with Turkey. The car that will be used by Abdullah Gul and the special device that will control the road leading from the airport to the President’s Palace and stadium have been sent from Turkey. The section of the stadium, where Gul will be watching the game will be protected by bulletproof glass as a measure against a possible assassination attempt. So, Abdullah Gul, who will leave for Yerevan to watch live Armenia-Turkey match, will actually watch it behind the glass.
