On the occasion of yesterday’s statements made after the end of the match at the SEF between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, Ergkin Ataman spoke today (02/06) this morning and in a Turkish media, TRT SPOR. There he spoke again about racism saying that he cannot accept to find his country and not react.
“In the last period of the race, the events took a different dimension, people began to find Turkey. I reacted to this and I told the referees that this was racism. I stated that what his followers did Olympic must be prevented. The referees did not pay much attention, gave a technical penalty and sent me out of the fight.
So I made a very intense statement After the race, because it was a racist slogan. Individuals or associations can be targeted, but this should not be transferred nationally. You can’t do that. I can’t be there and find the Turkeymy country ‘, It was his first words and continued referring to the game and reiterated for serious insults against Dimitris Giannakopoulos.
‘This series of finals in Greece He always has a great rivalry. We took the lead 1-0 on Friday night, but the atmosphere started very tense at the beginning of the race last night. Especially in the beginning, our president, his family and his daughter accepted very seriously and indescribable insults and curses. The president also reacted very strongly. He left the court. The race continued very tense.
In such races, clubs can use very serious insults and curses against each other. There were very serious insults against Panathinaic throughout the race. But when the very serious insults to Turkey began in the last period of the race, I reacted to it. I told the referee that he had to stop this, that it was a racist slogan. He didn’t care. When I reacted, he dismissed me. Then I made a very tough statement after the match. This is one racist move! You can’t show your hostility to a country, especially toward Turkey In the environment where I was. I reacted to it »he ended up.
