Beşiktaş Deputy Chairman Emre Kocadağ spoke to the Turkish sports press after his team’s Trendyol Super League match against Gaziantep FK:     

"First of all, I congratulate your Republic Day.  I see the necessity of opening a white page at this difficult period we are in. Beşiktaş is a 120-year-old community and has the capacity to overcome all types of obstacles . There are some strong personalities in our community that need to step forward. I will do what is necessary for me to make them involved in management.  I am aware of the dark clouds hovering over the Beşiktaş community. I will do my best to drive them away. If we unite as a community, we will overcome them easily. Together with our friends, we are ready to start this battle."
