Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç responded to Trabzon Mayor Ahmet Metin Genç's statements claiming "Match-fixing continues" following the Trabzonspor derby. Koç said, "Who is the mayor of a metropolitan city to speak? Look at your own partner before you talk. Our interlocutor is the AK Party, and they have to do something. If they are confronting a community of 25 million with cheap heroism, that is a matter for the party to deal with."

Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç made statements during a live broadcast he attended. He also responded to Trabzon Mayor Ahmet Metin Genç's words, "Match-fixing is still ongoing," after the Trabzonspor derby.
"THE AK PARTY MUST DO SOMETHING"
Koç said, "We had dinner together with Ertuğrul Bey an hour before the match. Are we going back to July 3rd, is that issue resurfacing? The senseless statement of the shameless mayor ignited the fuse. This is not his first statement. He is a lawyer. It might be beneficial to look into July 3rd and his lawyer's FETÖ partnership. Fenerbahçe has straightened its back, reached a point financially, improved its squad, and is it going back to July 3rd again? Before July 3rd, Fenerbahçe's value was 1 billion dollars, we achieved 5 out of 5 in all branches. The rest is known. One of them is a candidate who signed what the prosecutor put in front of him, praised the police, and insulted us. Unfortunately, because Sadettin Bey said he would make him the vice president, his stance at that time was not good either. I am not talking about the radio; an interview came from Zaman newspaper. He says the same thing, that the community was involved in match-fixing. I couldn't believe he said that. Other footage has also emerged. If he is going to walk with Hakan Bilal Kutlualp, I am so obsessed with this... I lived through the depths of July 3rd. There were only 5-6 of us left in the club. Every day I would put out jeans, t-shirts, socks, and rubber shoes. Just in case they come, we should be prepared. The children's lives were ruined at school. We faced tear gas on the streets, we were injured for the sake of the struggle. These guys did nothing. Suddenly, I see that something is being resurrected again. Who is the mayor of the metropolitan municipality, talking. Look at your own partner before you speak. Our interlocutor is the AK Party, they must do something. If they are confronting a community of 25 million with cheap heroism, that is for the party to know. You are praising the criminal, the organization. Are you on the side of our President, the letter from our President is in our museum, it speaks highly of our struggle, or are you on the side of a terrorist organization? Which side are you on, mayor, on July 15th!" he said.
"WHOEVER OWNS THE CUP IS IN THE CUP MUSEUM"
Continuing his statements, Koç said, "I used to love Ertuğrul Bey very much, he would sign under it. If you are signing under it, then I will share other things. Since you know so much. Whoever owns the cup, the cup is in their museum. We were lynched in Trabzon, I did not speak ill of Trabzon. It was the fault of the security and the governorship there. I was very careful not to speak ill of Trabzon. We are also a nationalist community, we are not fundamentally different. If you are bringing me here because of a foul that is wrong according to you and right according to me, listen. When it suits you, I am the champion. The date is January 5, 2011. In the event that Trabzonspor becomes champion in the 2010/11 season, the player named Pavel Brozek must receive bonus payments from his club. This is not being paid. Wisla club applies. CAS forces Trabzonspor to pay. Wisla Club files a lawsuit against Trabzonspor. What is the striking part? Your administration did it, Trabzonspor's lawyers defend by saying they participated not with sporting success, not by winning the Super League to reach the Champions League group stage, but rather based on the decision of the UEFA emergency panel. They say they are not champions. UEFA makes this decision with an emergency." he stated.
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?
Trabzon Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Metin Genç stated in a post on his social media account, "Match-fixing is still ongoing. We do not know how many people we are fighting against. 20 minutes of freezing cold, a goal disallowed and a red card. Shame on you and it's a disgrace. Always the biggest is Trabzonspor." he had said.
