The attack by Trabzonspor fans, who entered the pitch during the Trabzonspor - Fenerbahçe match played in the 30th week of the Super Lig, on the Yellow-Navy players celebrating their victory continues to hold its place on the agenda.
Turkish Football Federation (TFF) President Mehmet Büyükekşi, who remained silent following the dark night, spoke about the events for the first time at an iftar dinner organized by the federation.
Saying "Unfortunately, we encountered events we did not want," Büyükekşi added, "We wish both our clubs a speedy recovery."
Journalist Fatih Altaylı attacked Büyükekşi in an article titled "I guess nothing happened in Trabzon!" published on his own website.
Stating "It is clear that he waited for instructions from those who put him in that seat; taking a stance based on their attitude is the peak of his spinelessness, like hiding under the bed to escape a potential earthquake," Altaylı also reacted to the silence of both the government and the opposition fronts regarding the events.
Altaylı used the following expressions in his article:
"I guess nothing happened in Trabzon! One of the biggest disgraces of recent years in Turkish football has occurred. A disaster was narrowly averted. The Football Federation is nowhere to be found. The shameful president of a shameful federation has been in hiding for 3 days. It is clear that he waited for instructions from those who put him in that seat; taking a stance based on their attitude is the peak of his spinelessness, like hiding under the bed to escape a potential earthquake. He saw that there was no help from above either. He settled for coming out and saying 'Get well soon.' As if the team bus had an accident and he is just saying get well soon. Meanwhile, there is not a peep from politics either. Neither from the government nor the opposition. Our government, which knows everything and controls everything, is also silent on this issue. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's right on the eve of the election; to my right is Trabzon, to my left is Fenerbahçe. What timing, isn't it! The best thing is to act as if it didn't happen. It will be forgotten anyway. Isn't that right!"
