Aziz Yıldırım's response to Ali Koç's candidacy

Following the tensions at the Fenerbahçe Ordinary High Council Meeting, former president Aziz Yıldırım also made a statement.

Yıldırım emphasized that the September election would harm the community and spoke openly about his candidacy. Yıldırım stated that he would not be a candidate.

HE REACTED TO HAMDI AKIN

Arguing with Fenerbahçe Vice President Hamdi Akın, Yıldırım said, "Hamdi, look, don't make me attack you! I didn't come with that intention! Don't make me attack you!"

"I CALLED THEIR LEADERS 'THE TWO OF FLIES'"

Highlights from Yıldırım’s statements, who began his speech by saying, “I am full, I will tell you”:

"For 20 years, we've never held a council meeting without receiving the audit committee report. This is the second time in my seven-year tenure with Ali Bey. He tells me, 'You didn't say anything against Galatasaray.' I called their chairman 'The two of clubs,' what more can I say? We're 10 years behind now. If this continues, I'll have this speech again next year."

"THOSE WHO SAY HE LEFT EUROS IN DEBT ARE DISHONORABLE"

Anyone who says Aziz Yıldırım left a debt of 612 million euros is a dishonorable person. If I did it, I'm a dishonorable person. I built this place you're sitting in. I built Samandıra, I built Dereağzı. And I wasn't acquitted.

The September congress will be damaging. Whether you win or someone else wins, this community will be damaged. It will be a shame for this club. Review it.

"CHILDREN ARE NOT FENERBAHÇE FANS ANYMORE"

Kids aren't Fenerbahçe fans anymore. They have Osimhen written on their jerseys. A friend bought his kid a Fenerbahçe jersey, and the kid said let's get the number 45 on the back. Why? Osimhen. Let's not talk about Galatasaray, but I'm the president of the team that beat Galatasaray 6-0.

"THEY DID NOT GIVE US A LODGE"

I asked for a paid box, but they wouldn't give it to me. I haven't been able to go to the stadium for seven years. There's a 25 billion dollar debt. They won't come out and explain it. Just so you know, that's where the real danger lies.

CANDIDATE STATEMENT

I won't be running, so rest assured. If I were, I would have already announced it. May the congress be beneficial to Fenerbahçe. Those who say, "As long as I'm here, Fenerbahçe won't be champions," shouldn't be candidates.
