Turkey urged to play matches without spectators due to calls for the resignation of the government

“It is the inevitable duty of all club presidents to take urgent and necessary action.

Matches must be played either without spectators or with the necessary measures taken.

At this stage, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to those who want to doom Turkish football to suffering and shame, ”TASS quotes Bahceli.

He stressed that while Turkey is fighting the biggest earthquake of this century, chanting resignations during football matches is "irresponsible and unconscious."

According to Bahceli, his party "strongly condemns the disrespect shown to our citizens who died in the earthquake."

“The use of sports for dirty politics in such sensitive and painful days for our country,” the people’s choice emphasized.

After the earthquake, videos from the Fenerbahce-Konyaspor and Besiktas-Antalyaspor matches appeared on social networks, in which fans shout the slogan "Government resign".

According to the latest data, as a result of the earthquake in Turkey, which happened on February 6, 44 thousand people died.

Earlier it was reported that the International Football Federation (FIFA) expressed its condolences in connection with the death of Turkish Hatayspor midfielder Christian Atsu.
