Very important words about Atatürk came from South Korean journalist Hanshin Lee regarding the match that was expected to be played in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, but was cancelled due to disagreements.
Here are Hanshin Lee's words:
"I saw the news coming from Saudi Arabia. Of course, I would like to see Fenerbahçe win the cup today. But nothing can be more important than respecting a country's history and its great founder, Atatürk. The teams should not be afraid to return home.
The Saudis thought they could defeat a man who was never defeated. Atatürk's legacy continues in his people. I am not Turkish, but I felt proud of everyone today. This situation goes beyond the Fenerbahçe - Galatasaray rivalry."
