Breaking News: Aziz Yıldırım lashes out at '612 million euro debt' claim! 'If I did this, I am dishonorable, and those who say this are also dishonorable!'

The Fenerbahçe Sports Club High Council Meeting began with tension.

Tensions rose in the hall with the announcement of the number of signatures collected for an extraordinary congress.

After the tension subsided, Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç delivered his speech. Following Ali Koç, former president Aziz Yıldırım took the podium.

Yıldırım reacted sharply to the claim of a 612 million euro debt from his tenure. Yıldırım said, “They say Aziz Yıldırım left a debt of 612 million euros. If I did this, I am dishonorable, and those who say this are also dishonorable!”

Here are the highlights from Yıldırım's speech:

How much is Fenerbahçe's debt? Let's see. Where is the Audit Committee report? Ali Bey tells me, 'You didn't say anything against Galatasaray.' I called their president a 'deuce of clubs' (sinek ikili), and he couldn't respond. What more can I say?

'TWO YEARS ARE ON ME, I ADMIT IT'

There is a 6-year championship gap. Two years are on me, I admit it. We are currently 10 years behind. If it continues like this, I will make this speech again next year.

They say Aziz Yıldırım left a debt of 612 million euros. If I did this, I am dishonorable. Those who say this are also dishonorable.

'RECONSIDER THE ELECTION DECISION!'

"Holding an election in September is wrong. When you came to meet with me in May, I told you, 'Talk to the other presidential candidates, tell them: Let me stay here for one more year; if I cannot make them champions, I will leave.' I also said, get a vote of confidence from the community. You said, 'Let's talk later,' and you didn't come back. Afterwards, I announced that 'I will be a candidate.'

The election to be held in September will harm this community. You are making the transfers and everything else, the responsibility should be yours. Reconsider it, I say this as a piece of advice from an elder."

While Aziz Yıldırım was making statements regarding financial matters, Fenerbahçe executive Hamdi Akın said, "You are speaking incorrectly."

'DON'T MAKE ME ATTACK YOU!'

Upon this, Aziz Yıldırım uttered the words, "Hamdi, look, don't make me attack you! I didn't come with that intention! Don't make me attack you!"

Yıldırım continued his speech as follows:

“There is no such thing as opposition in a great club like Fenerbahçe; everyone is waiting for me to speak, and if I speak, they only say a word or two.

Children are no longer becoming Fenerbahçe fans. This is our biggest problem.

I am the president who beat Galatasaray 6-0. Fenerbahçe fans are weeping. This is what I see, I cannot speak for you.

What do you want from me, brother! Should I die? Should I go into the grave? For God's sake, leave it! They talk about vision... You kicked us out by saying Aziz Yıldırım has no vision... Aziz Yıldırım was building an island for you. He was building an island on 6 decares of rocks in Maltepe.

Ali Bey, I gave my life, my life! I went to prison, I served time, I gave my life! Everything I did, I did for Fenerbahçe. My friends and I are a part of this club and we are the club itself! Know this!

I haven't come to the stadium for 7 years. I asked for a suite with my own money, they didn't give it. I can't come with my daughter, I went and bought a suite from Chelsea! What should I do? She goes there!

I will not be a candidate. If I were a candidate, I would have already said so, be at ease. Look, Sadettin Bey is here. He says he is a candidate. Let the young ones be candidates. Let them come and take ownership of this club.

HE TOOK A DIG AT ALI KOÇ WITHOUT NAMING HIM: HE SHOULD NOT BE A CANDIDATE!

May the congress be beneficial to Fenerbahçe. Those who say 'As long as I am here, they will not let Fenerbahçe be champion' should not be candidates!"
