An Extraordinary General Assembly with elections will be held at Fenerbahçe Sports Club on June 6-7.
TAHİR KIRAN'S CALL FOR UNITY
As candidates continue their work before the election, former executive Tahir Kıran also made a statement addressing the community and potential candidates. Tahir Kıran invited all yellow-navy members to unite around the name Aziz Yıldırım.
''THAT DAY IS TODAY!''
Emphasizing that they need to set aside personal accounts and unite on the common ground of Fenerbahçe, Kıran said, "Sometimes stepping back is not defeat. It is about seeing the bigger picture, looking at the broader issue. When we look at the big picture today, unfortunately, we face a worrying table for our Fenerbahçe. We are in a great fatigue caused by a heavy financial burden and a 12-year championship longing in moral terms. If something is to be done to revive our Fenerbahçe, that day is today. Today is not the time for grudges, but for embracing and hugging. Today is not the time to say 'me', but to become 'we'. Today is not the time to open old books or settle scores; it is the time to heal wounds, remember friendships and common values. Aziz Yıldırım is also a great value for our Fenerbahçe, as are Ali Koç, Hakan Safi, Barış Göktürk, Mehmet Ali Aydınlar... Everyone who has labored and fought for this community is a part of Fenerbahçe. We must now set aside personal accounts, resentments, and divisions, and unite on the common ground of Fenerbahçe. Because we have no time left to lose to get our Fenerbahçe out of this chaotic environment, this dark process."
''UNDER THE SAME ROOF WITH AZİZ YILDIRIM'S LEADERSHIP''
Continuing his words, Tahir Kıran said, "The entire community, regardless of its past, views, and position, must unite around the same goal. A strong togetherness is essential for Fenerbahçe's future. Therefore, I invite all important figures of the community under the same roof under the leadership of Aziz Yıldırım. Ali Koç must also come, as well as Hakan Safi, Barış Göktürk, Mehmet Ali Aydınlar... Because if the matter is Fenerbahçe, everything else is a detail. We must act together today, before it is too late tomorrow, to wipe away our children's tears and carry our Fenerbahçe to hopeful tomorrows. Because this is not just a sports club; it is the hope of millions, the dream of children, and Fenerbahçe, which is the greatest love of us all."
