YEREVAN, AUGUST 7, ARMENPRESS: A group of Turkish Armenian citizens
submitted a letter of protest to the UEFA authorities and demanded
to punish the president of the Trabzonspor Football Club Ibrahim
Hajiosmanoghlu for making racist statements about the Armenian,
Greek and Israeli teams.
As reported by Armenpress, quoting the Turkish Radical Newspaper,
the head of the Turkish Club recently criticized the meeting of
the members of the Democratic Party of Turkey with the members of
the Football Club Fenerbahce, saying in particular: "Their team is
Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor is not an Armenian, Greek or a Jewish
team. In a word, Trabzonspor is not your team".
The protest letter says: "The president of the Trabzonspor Football
Club Ibrahim Hajiosmanoghlu made racist statements about the Armenian,
Greek and Israeli teams. Certainly, his words are directed to the
footballers and fans as well. We demand to punish him correspondingly
as soon as possible, as these statements contradict the UEFA's peaceful
and friendly principles rejecting discrimination and racism".
In the protest letter the Turkish Armenian citizens noted that they
will continue the struggle in the social networks as well to make
the issue sounder.
