Harsh words from Aziz Yıldırım to Acun Ilıcalı

Fenerbahçe Presidential Candidate Aziz Yıldırım, who met with the general assembly members in Bursa before the upcoming congress of Fenerbahçe Club, made harsh statements about famous TV producer Acun Ilıcalı, who is on Ali Koç’s list. Aziz Yıldırım, accompanied by Nihat Özbağ and Ömer Onan from the management list, attended the dinner meeting at Nilüfer Organized Industrial Zone (NOSAB) and asked for support from the congress members in Bursa. Yıldırım, who attracted great interest from the yellow-blue club members, answered the questions directed at him candidly. Reacting strongly when asked about Acun Ilıcalı’s comments about him, Yıldırım said, ‘Acun is scratching. Let him not scratch. He came out on a television program tonight talking about me. He said I met Mourinho in London. He is wrong, I met him in Rome, not London. Stupid Acun. In 2016 or 2017, our basketball team became champions by beating Beşiktaş. Acun was also at that championship celebration. They said there are two Dominiks. They said in this Dominic, he gives passports and residence permits to FETÖ members. I talked to him and told him not to do it. He said he doesn’t do it, but he does. We found out later. Also, let them track the private planes taking off there by Acun, I’m not saying anything else. He says he only went to Adnan Oktar for 1 year, but he went for 9 years. I read the 3,500-page indictment written about him.’ Yıldırım, in response to a question, stated that he is not just a president but a leader, saying, ‘Everyone can be a president, but not everyone can be a leader.’ Reminding that he said ‘The country is slipping away due to match-fixing’ in 2012, Yıldırım used the expression ‘Now Fenerbahçe is slipping away.’ Reacting to Acun Ilıcalı’s statements that he will establish communication with Ankara, Aziz Yıldırım said, ‘Acun is giving guarantees to everything as if he has received authority from the President. He says I will handle those things. We look at his list, there are names close to the government. There are names close to FETÖ. You don’t fight with the state, but we also have no business with politics.’ Aziz Yıldırım said they will work with Mourinho if he is elected to the position.
