Annoyance in Ankara over UEFA’s two-game ban on Demiral

Ankara was further irritated by the two-game penalty officially imposed by UEFA on Turkish footballer Merih Demiral, citing “prejudice” against foreigners.

“We regret that UEFA has banned our national football player Merih Demiral for two matches. International sporting events are organized to bring societies and countries closer together.

This decision has caused deep disappointment to our citizens both at home and abroad and reinforced the assessment that the trend of prejudice against foreigners is increasing in some European countries,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
