During the Beşiktaş Ordinary Divan Assembly, former president Hasan Arat, who was attacked with a punch while speaking at the podium, made statements immediately after the incident. Arat called for the resignation of the Divan Assembly Chairman Tevfik Yamantürk, who punched him, saying, "He cursed at me. He had his bodyguards arranged. No one can come at me one-on-one! They attacked from behind. What do you call someone who attacks from behind? In Adana, we call them 'coward'."
In the Beşiktaş Divan Assembly, a fight broke out between Tevfik Yamantürk and former president Hasan Arat. While Hasan Arat continued his speech, Tevfik Yamantürk got on the podium and punched Arat. During the incident, it was also seen that another person punched the former president. The Ordinary Divan Assembly Meeting was postponed due to the events that occurred. After the incident, Arat made statements.
Arat's statements are as follows;
"The grudges inside them have led to discussions about how my prayer should be read. God does not accept the prayers of those who ambush and slander. Painful things for Beşiktaş.
"I come as a former president, I haven't spoken until today, I haven't mentioned what happened, I haven't embarrassed my club. I will come and explain in the most civilized environment. They cannot tolerate it, they cannot tolerate it. In the past, there was a Divan President who said to Süleyman Ağabey, 'Let me pay him, let him go to Fener.'
They cannot stand it, they cannot stand it! History will judge them. I am sorry on behalf of my community for what has happened. Personally, I am happy to be here today. My biggest sadness is that these events have upset Beşiktaş fans and my family. The Eagle fears nothing. I will not give up on this. This civilization will not take Beşiktaş anywhere.
They will do the same thing to Serdal Adalı. I told Adalı, 'If you remain silent about what is done to me today, the same thing will be done to you.' This should not be ignored. A game is being played here. These slanders are a game. It has come out with one document. They think they can chase me; your neck is not long enough to chase me! They think it's a skill to have their bodyguards attack me. They will face the consequences in front of the law.
Tevfik Yamantürk must immediately resign from the Divan presidency. A Divan President who brings Beşiktaş to this situation does not suit Beşiktaş. You cannot act superior with your money and wealth. You cannot dominate over people. They will do the same thing to Serdal Adalı.
TO TEVFIK YAMANTURK: "COWARD!"
Tevfik Yamantürk cursed at me. He has arranged his bodyguards. No one can come at me one-on-one! They attacked me from behind. What do you call someone who attacks from behind? In Adana, we call them 'coward.' Coward. Beşiktaş needs to forget these cowardly acts. Cowardly person! He comes out and acts superior. When I said 'bring it on,' they couldn't stand it!
"HE DID THE SAME THING TO SULEYMAN AĞABEY"
Come on, everyone should come forward. They cannot harm me. Thank God, I have nothing. (You have blood on your hands) It could be, it might be because of what happened there. These things come and go. They have upset Beşiktaş here. They did the same thing to Süleyman Ağabey in the past, and they are known as the 'sixers.' They did the same tricks to Süleyman Ağabey. They will live with this shame. My name is enough as an inheritance; their money is not enough!"
