"An incident sending from Beşiktaş to Galatasaray."

```html

Beşiktaş President Hasan Arat made a reference to their eternal rivals Galatasaray during a conference he attended, regarding the controversial sponsorship agreement.

"YOU CANNOT WALK AROUND TURKEY JUST BECAUSE I AM PRIVILEGED"

Hasan Arat's striking statements are as follows;

"Beşiktaş's sponsors are extremely reputable. This matter should be taken very seriously. Turkey has just experienced this issue. The club that signed the sponsorship immediately withdrew, realizing it was a mistake, but what’s done is done. Clubs must be very careful while managing these matters. They should be cautious when speaking about each other. You cannot walk around Turkey just because you are educated, graduated from a certain school, or feel privileged. Everyone who carries this identity is privileged.

"THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN TURKEY HAS BEEN SPONSORSHIP"

These people need to abandon this language. Otherwise, it will lead to a lot of harshness and tension among the fans. If this continues, communities will respond. I have my school, you don’t, I graduated from here, your sponsorship is like this, I am like that, etc. There is no need for these. The biggest scandal in Turkey has been sponsorship, which occurred two weeks ago. No one is speaking up. Everyone is silent. You must speak. Journalists cannot write either. Money is taken, it ends, and then it is said that we withdrew because it was the wrong person; this cannot be the case. There is no such thing. Then it starts with unfair competition.

"THEY ARE TRYING TO DIVIDE THE TEAMS"

"They are currently trying to divide the teams. This is a very dangerous thing. Clubs have a lot to do and they must continue this. When you look at Turkish sports, the media carries football to the headlines. No matter how much I express my dreams in different areas as much as I want, they won’t make the headlines. If I name a football transfer, it will immediately make the headlines. You might be very surprised when you watch the football side of the sports media. The media has lost its conventional power. Clubs are starting to create their own media. Some create their own social media to send messages to their fans. We have started to communicate with our fans through our own social media account and our website. But the pains of this change are very heavy.

"ADMINISTRATORS NEED TO CHANGE THEIR LANGUAGE"

We must not mix football with politics in Turkey. Secular, democratic clubs are important in Turkey. Above all, the structure and language of the administrators need to change. I have no objection to the sports press making all kinds of criticism, but it should be done carefully, without morally hurting people. However, there comes a moment when they scare people into not being 'administrators.'

"MY DREAM IS TO LEAVE WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH"

My dream is to leave here with my head held high. Being able to pass on the values of Beşiktaş to the new generations is the most important legacy for me. The legacy is not just about trophies; it is about being able to sustain the philosophy. Being the club president should not be a power that you can hold onto continuously. You should have a certain legacy when you leave. My dream is to have a beautiful Turkey. This homeland has given me so much. I will continue to work for my homeland in every way. You do not have to be the club president; I can work in our foundations, do charity work. You do not have to be in an important position. Society has so many needs; you can work with books, you can work with computers. My dream for this country to be prosperous and a democratic country has been ongoing for years. And I want to maintain my relationship with society in this way.
