What is armenia turkey football?

Armenia and Turkey have a longstanding and complicated history, which has spilled over into their sporting rivalry. The two countries have played each other in football matches since 1992, following Armenia's independence from the Soviet Union. The matches have often been marked by tensions and disputes, with disagreements over the display of national symbols and allegations of racism and other forms of discrimination.

The first official match between Armenia and Turkey was played in 1994, and since then they have played each other eight times in total, with Turkey winning six of those matches and Armenia winning one. The most recent match was played in 2014, which ended in a 2-1 victory for Turkey.

There have been several incidents of violence and hostility during matches between the two countries, particularly when they are played in Armenia. In 2008, a match between the two sides in Yerevan was disrupted when Armenian fans invaded the pitch and attacked Turkish players and officials. Turkish Airlines also suspended flights to the Armenian capital following the incident, citing safety concerns.

The political tensions between Armenia and Turkey have also affected their footballing relationship. In 2013, Armenian midfielder Arthur Sarkisov sparked controversy when he made a political statement before a match against Turkey, wearing a t-shirt with the words "Genocide is a fact" printed on it. The incident led to the Turkish Football Federation lodging a formal complaint with FIFA, although no further action was taken.
