He had an argument with the police: Derby statement from Mert Hakan Yandaş!

Mert Hakan Yandaş, who plays for Fenerbahçe, made a statement about what happened in the Galatasaray derby.

In his statement, the experienced football player said, "First of all, I would like to state clearly that I have never had any offensive, hurtful or insulting words or behavior towards the security forces of our state, especially our police officers who are doing their duty. It was not possible for me to be in any attitude targeting them yesterday, nor is it today. If I caused a misunderstanding, even if unintentionally, just because of the stress of that moment, I also apologize to them."

Mert Hakan also apologized to Fenerbahçe fans for the defeat in the Galatasaray derby.

Mert Hakan Yandaş's statements are as follows:

"I was not involved in any discussion at any stage of the events that took place after the derby match we played yesterday. With the sadness and tension of losing the match, I was just trying to get in without interacting with anyone.

However, I see that the public is trying to draw different points from me. First of all, I would like to state clearly that I have never said anything offensive, hurtful or insulting towards the security forces of our state, especially our police officers who are doing their duty. It was not possible for me to take any action targeting them yesterday, nor is it today. I also apologize to them if I unintentionally caused any misunderstanding due to the stress of the moment.

I hope that what happened will now be evaluated without taking it out of its real context and that different meanings will not be attributed to me.

Finally, we sincerely apologize to the Great Fenerbahçe Fans for leaving the field with an undesirable result last night. We are aware of the expectations of this community and the responsibility of the jersey we carry. "We will continue our fight with determination to compensate for the sadness we have experienced, to stand up much stronger and to take Fenerbahçe to the place it deserves."
