Noting that the statements made by Galatasaray Second President Metin Öztürk distort the truth, Kafkas said, "The insolent and truth-distorting statements made by Galatasaray Second President Metin Öztürk after our 2-1 victory over Galatasaray are nothing more than an attempt to cover up what really happened.

First and foremost, it should be known that everyone who comes to Trabzon is shown hospitality in a manner befitting the dignity of our club, just as it has been until today.

This is our culture.

However, no one can hide the consequences of their own dirty schemes by labeling Trabzonspor with 'ugliness'.

The picture that Metin Öztürk is trying to describe as 'ugliness' is the product of the very mindset he represents.

Because the real ugliness is holding secret meetings with players under contract, bypassing their clubs.

The real ugliness is attempting to turn our player's head with out-of-sight contacts during the national team camp.

The real ugliness is calling players into executives' offices and trying to close deals with secret plans.

The real ugliness is trampling on ethical values and then turning around to 'play the victim'.

The real ugliness is offering more money to an 18-year-old player we had already reached an agreement with, and ruining the transfer that way.

The real ugliness is not being satisfied with that, and then coming out this evening to shamelessly, brazenly, and cheekily fall into such a pathetic state as to say 'we paid the money and bought him'.

We do not view any club as an enemy.

However, if there is an intervention against the rights, labor, and honor of Trabzonspor, our stance and position on that are clear.

We will not remain silent, extend a hand, or stand side-by-side with those who try to portray betrayal as 'transfer policy', cunning as 'management', and organized contacts as a 'natural process'!

Before Metin Öztürk makes grandiloquent statements in public, he should first account for how things reached this point in his own conscience.

The issue being discussed today is not how anyone welcomed anyone else; it is a matter of who deserves what and to what extent," he stated.

METİN ÖZTÜRK'S REMARKS, WHICH WERE MET WITH REACTION, ARE AS FOLLOWS

He came out with a banner for Orhan Kaynak before the match. May he rest in peace. Our relationship with Trabzonspor has always been like this; it is unthinkable for it to be otherwise. Administrations come and go. Trabzonspor has always held a place in our hearts with its identity as a football city and its nationalism.

NO ONE SHOULD FORGET THIS

The Trabzonspor administration has senselessly started a smear campaign. They engaged in a smear campaign regarding a player who was acquired two months ago. They engaged in a smear campaign against Uğurcan Çakır. Uğurcan was provoked in a way that has nothing to do with the Trabzonspor fans. If it weren't for Uğurcan, the National Team wouldn't have been able to go to the USA this summer! No one should forget this!

SHAME ON YOU

The ugliness did not suit the Trabzonspor administration! Not a single person welcomed us, not a single person saw us off! Shame on you! If they are happy with the points they got, let them be happy! They have been swearing at us since we arrived! The match is over, there is no one in the stadium, and they are still swearing! Shame on the broadcaster too! They aired the swearing without muting the audio!
