The Galatasaray Sports Club Board of Trustees February Extraordinary Meeting was held. Dursun Özbek, who attended the meeting, made statements.
Stating that they paid 540 million TL in interest, Özbek emphasized that interest is a bleeding wound for Galatasaray.
Requesting support from the community, Dursun Özbek said, "There are 8-9 fronts opened against Galatasaray. I am putting up a great fight together with my colleagues."
Expressing that the interest they pay increases continuously in every period, Özbek said, "We paid these interest figures while we were paying 200-something million in interest and interest rates were hovering around 12%. When we look at the June 1 - November 30 period, while the interest rate was hovering around 35%, we paid around 540 million TL in interest. And its momentum has not slowed down yet. Today, the interest rate is at 45%. Interest is a bleeding wound for Galatasaray. Galatasaray is extremely successful in sporting activities. If Galatasaray had gotten rid of this interest burden, there would have been very good profitability," he said.
Stating that they have been trying to get rid of the interest spiral since the first day, Dursun Özbek said, "Our efforts are continuing at the highest level. By paying off our debt from the restructuring, we will take Galatasaray out of these interest spirals in a short time. You stood by us during this process. I send a big thank you to the general assembly members and the fans," he said.
