YEREVAN, Sep 6 (Reuters) - Second-half goals from Tuncay Sanli and Semih Senturk gave Turkey a 2-0 winning start to their World Cup qualifying campaign against Armenia on Saturday in a match full of diplomatic significance.The game was marked by the presence of Abdullah Gul making the first visit by a Turkish president to Armenia. Gul was invited to attend the game by his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarksyan, who called for closer ties in a region rocked last month by Russia's war with Georgia.The countries have no diplomatic ties and their relationship is historically tense because of the killing of ethnic Armenians by Ottoman Turks during World War One.Security was tight for the two presidents, who sat together with their delegations. At the final whistle the groups exchanged handshakes and applauded as the players on the pitch traded shirts.Saturday, September 6, 2008
