January 2008


Dear Beşiktaş Fans,
While we are leaving behind another year of joys and sorrows, we are getting ready to meet the challenges of the coming year with renewed hopes and high expectations...
Since we plan to bring our previous years’ managerial, financial and sportive work to a successful conclusion, the year 2008 will be the year of Beşiktaş in all departments…
Dear Beşiktaş Fans,
The year 2008 will be remembered as the completion and opening year of BJK Fulya Süleyman Seba Sports Project, the biggest of its kind ever realized in Turkey. Being on our Club’s agenda for more than half century, the 2008 ribbon-cutting ceremony of this huge project will mark a new era for Beşiktaş. The BJK Fulya Süleyman Seba Project, which will help our club break new ground, is not only our gift for present day Beşiktaş fans but a gift for generations to come. The implementation of this project during my presidency will be a unique source of pride to me for the rest of my life.
Dear Beşiktaş Fans,
Besides the institutionalization of our club, the year 2008 will also be the year of our sportive success.  Despite all the injustices and hard luck we experienced in the first half of the season, our Football Team managed to finish high in the standings of Turkcell Super League. I strongly believe that we will capture the top spot at the end of the season with your ongoing support. I am also confident that our BJK Cola Turka Men’s Basketball team, which is flying high both in Turkey and Europe, will put an end to our draught of 33 years by wining the Turkish Championship and bring a European Basketball Cup to Turkey for the first time ever.
All our branches, from Handball to Athletics, from Gymnastics to Boxing Beşiktaş will fly high in 2008.
Dear Beşiktaş Fans,
The events of the past year have showed us that Beşiktaş has no friend but itself. Therefore we must stick together, walk together and fight together until the end no matter what happens. 
Finally, I wish each one of you good health, happiness and success in 2008. May the New Year bring Beşiktaş great achievements in full solidarity that last forever… 
With my deepest love and respect,
Yıldırım Demirören
BEŞİKTAŞ JK Board Chairman
