Armenia's president says he wants significant diplomatic progress before he will agree to attend a World Cup qualifying match in Turkey.

Armenia and Turkey have no diplomatic relations and their border has been closed since 1993. They disagree about Armenian forces' control of the Azerbaijani region of Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia's demand that the WWI-era massacre of some 1.5 million Armenians in Turkey be recognized as genocide."
