Hasan Arat, who stepped down from the presidency in Beşiktaş, made a farewell speech accompanied by the board members.

"I HAD TO LEAVE"

Referring to his decision to leave, Arat said, "If I came through this door at the age of 17 with my head held high and my forehead clear; today I am leaving here in the same way with my forehead clear. There were those who came with courtesy, it is the most natural thing not to say goodbye to them... We are temporary, today we are experiencing the nobility of concluding this duty together. These are normal things in democracies. The time has come, I had to leave, and I am leaving. Beşiktaş is entrusted to the youth, no one can use Beşiktaş." he said.

"FORGIVE ME"
