Ertuğrul Doğan: 'I am standing tall to protect the rights of Trabzonspor!'

Trabzonspor 61st Ordinary Council General Assembly Meeting was held at Hamamizade İhsanbey Cultural Center. The names of those who lost their lives were commemorated in the general assembly, which started with a moment of silence and the reading of the National Anthem. After the video explaining the birth of the claret-blue club was shown to the participants, the activity report of the council chairmanship was read.

OSMAN ÇAVUŞOĞLU: "LAW SHOULD BE APPLIED EQUALLY TO EVERYONE"

After the report was read, Osman Çavuşoğlu, speaking on behalf of the Trabzonspor Council Presidential Board, reacted to the targeting of Clubs Union Foundation President and Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan. Considering the Turkish Football Federation's (TFF) decision to refer the PFDK decision to the Arbitration Board as a step that raises legal and institutional question marks, Çavuşoğlu said:

"We will continue our fight against attempts to put pressure on Trabzonspor. Our demand is equality, not privilege, and justice, not privilege. We emphasize once again that the law should be applied equally to all clubs and individuals. Turkish football does not need new tensions; it needs justice, trust, equality and common sense."

MAHMUT ÖREN: "NO ONE CAN DESIGN TRABZONSPOR"

Trabzonspor Council Chairman Mahmut Ören said that Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan and the board of directors are with him in the fight to protect the rights of the club. Emphasizing that Trabzonspor is not a club that can be worn down by daily discussions or discredited by perception operations, Ören said, "No one should try to design Trabzonspor. There was struggle and determination in our history. No one should try to correct their own mistakes through Trabzonspor. Trabzonspor's memory is strong. Everyone knows each other in this city. Our strength comes from our glorious history and the love of millions of fans behind us."

ERTUĞRUL DOĞAN: "THE WHOLE WORLD IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE DO"

Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan also made evaluations about the club's transfer efforts and sports structure. Emphasizing that the players who came to Trabzon are satisfied with the city and the club, Doğan said, "Not Turkey, but the whole world talks about what Trabzonspor does. When we look at the players who come and go, everyone talks about what we do. They were wondering if players would come to Trabzon. They come and they are very happy. Each of our players tells about this place, Trabzon and Trabzonspor. We want to be successful in every field. We have established a system and we are progressing within this system."

"OUR COMPETITORS' DEBT IS AT THE LEVEL OF 35 BILLION"

Providing information about the financial structure of the club, President Doğan said, "When we arrived, our debt was around 3 billion. The debts of our competitors were around 4-5 billion. Now, we are at the level of 3 billion again, but the debts of our competitors are around 35 billion. We took the measures in time and we are at this level today."
