ANKARA -- Turkey's minister for sport on Friday pledged tight security for next week's Champions' League match between Galatasaray and Juventus as tensions rose with Italy over Kurdish rebel chief Abdullah Ocalan.
The Turkish pledge came as Italian politicians called for the match to be played on neutral territory, while European soccer's governing body UEFA said it was monitoring the escalating row.
