Fenerbahçe has reacted harshly to the TFF over the "impudent" gesture made toward the Ankaragücü stands and the subsequent one-match ban. In a statement released on the club's social media account, it was stated that the penalty is a sign of an "admirable stance displayed by those who should be impartial."
The statement included the following: "This lawless act, which ignores rules and could affect the championship race, is a level of blatant and clear favoritism toward one team that has never been seen before."
The statement, signed by Fenerbahçe Board Member Selahattin Baki, included the following remarks:

We said there is no other example of this stance displayed by those who should be impartial.

Today, we are at a loss for words!
This disrespect was not only directed at the Ankaragücü stands, but also at Turkish sports and all sports fans.
Mehmet Büyükekşi and those who manage Turkish football under the TFF umbrella;
The public has once again seen that all your decisions, both on and off the pitch, are taken with the reflex to favor one team and make that team the champion.
