Dursun Özbek's statement on Fenerbahçe ahead of the Super Cup! 'We shouldn't pour gasoline on the fire'

Galatasaray Club President Dursun Özbek made a series of statements in Şanlıurfa ahead of the Super Cup match. Özbek emphasized that the derby should not be harmed.

Dursun Özbek's remarks were as follows:

"The Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby is one of the most important derbies in the world. Let's let the people here watch this match. I arrived yesterday and saw how much they love us. I hope this derby will not be remembered for these incidents and that it will pass in the atmosphere of a festive celebration.

It would be very good if the derby were not damaged by these discourses. Fenerbahçe fans and Galatasaray fans here need to watch us live.

I have said it before, as the tension grows, people who will take advantage of this will emerge. Our country is already experiencing a certain level of tension; we shouldn't pour gasoline on the fire. I hope the derby we will play on Sunday will go down in history as a symbol of unity, togetherness, and brotherhood.

SPOKE ABOUT THE ATTACK

Yesterday's attack was something organized. After the volleyball match, people on motorcycles with covered license plates arrived, beat one of my fans and his 14-year-old daughter, and tried to take the banners in their hands. I want our prosecutors to take precautions before these incidents grow. Let it not reach this level anymore. I condemn those who organized this attack and those who incited them.

I wish they would come; Urfa is the city of prophets. Urfa's place in history is unique; it is the most beautiful place to deliver messages. I wish they were here too, and we could give the message we will give to our nation as opinion leaders from Urfa."
