Fenerbahçe's Vice President Erol Bilecik, who has been the subject of resignation rumors, responded to these claims with a statement.
EROL BILECIK IS RESIGNING
Fenerbahçe Vice President Erol Bilecik announced that he will resign from his position at Fenerbahçe in September. In a social media post, Erol Bilecik stated that he would step down, using the following expressions;
''It has become necessary to make this statement due to the allegations raised about myself and our club in the public domain.
My personal email sent to our President and Secretary General before the Eid al-Adha was unlawfully accessed and disseminated through methods contrary to ethics and law. There is no possibility of this email being accidentally sent to third parties other than the intended recipients.
The unauthorized acquisition and publication of this private correspondence between just three individuals constitutes a crime with severe penalties under the Turkish Penal Code. In this context:
• I will assert all my legal rights in the most determined manner against crimes such as unlawful acquisition and dissemination of personal data and violation of the confidentiality of communication.
• I have filed a criminal complaint through my lawyers against those who openly confess their crime; the case will be brought before the esteemed Turkish judiciary.
• In accordance with my belief in the rule of law, I will not retaliate against these attacks in the same manner; however, I will ensure that the perpetrators of actions constituting a crime are held accountable before justice.
My relationship with our President is based on a sincere friendship that has lasted for many years. Since the first day we started working together on the board of directors, we have never compromised this sincerity. However, recently, the insults and slanders directed at me and my family, fueled by certain circles, have reached a level that will harm the interests of our club. This organized activity, which defines itself as "opposition," has been conducting a lynching campaign for months, targeting a new manager every day. It is now clear to everyone that the real aim of these initiatives is not to defend the values of Fenerbahçe, but to overthrow Fenerbahçe President Mr. Ali Koç.
The timing of this service on the day the PFDK developments occurred clearly shows that those organizing this attack are acting with long-term and strategic malicious intent, and their main goal is to inflict every possible harm on the current Fenerbahçe management.
Valuable Fenerbahçe supporters,
I had already informed our President and Board of Directors of my intention to resign in September before writing this email. During this period, I will continue to serve my club without compromising the values of Fenerbahçe and will officially conclude my duties in September.
Serving Fenerbahçe has been one of the most precious responsibilities of my life. For seven years, I have never wavered in my commitment to this great community. I will continue to adhere to these values in my future life.
I am a Fenerbahçeli. As it has been for 63 years, it will be my greatest honor and privilege to support Fenerbahçe with all my heart from now on.
I sincerely and infinitely thank all our board members, athletes, club employees, and every individual in our community with whom I have had the honor of walking together during this process, especially our President Mr. Ali Koç.
Respectfully.''
