Koch’s statement in detail

“There are people who have been working hard for 13-14 years to sow the seeds of violence and hatred between the two clubs. Last night’s victim is Fenerbahce. It is the Fenerbahce players who were protected from lynching and physical attack,” the Fenerbahce president said first, then wondered: “What if a football player was lynched? Would we say again that this should be the last time? We always say it, but it doesn’t happen, especially when it comes to Fenerbahce. Yesterday’s attacks were fully organized.”

Kots also noted that “the fight started and the events gradually escalated. It was not possible to continue this game. If this had happened in a UEFA match, Trabzonspor’s license would have been revoked. Halil Umut Meller (referee of the match) could not stop the match and this is the fault of the football environment in which our country is. You know the strength of our adversary, political and bureaucratic power. The main reason for not stopping this fight was the federation. I have just resigned from the presidency of the Football Association. As Fenerbahce, we have to plan our future. I strongly urge our community to act wisely. We will not tolerate this treatment in our country. We will also be relegated to the lowest division if necessary.”
