Turkey have defeated Armenia in a historic World Cup football match, played in Bursa.

Neither team could qualify, but the game came just days after the two countries agreed to end decades of mutual hostility over the killing of as many as a million Armenians by Ottoman Turks during World War One.

The BBC's Maria Vassilieva joined Armenian fans in a sports bar in the country's capital, Yerevan.
