Dear Beşiktaş Supporters,
I would like to start by expressing my deep sorrow for the loss of former Galatasaray Chairman and close friend Mr. Özhan Canaydın, who died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 67 the other day.
Mr. Özhan Canaydın will be remembered not only for his great achievements in Turkish sports but also for his unwavering commitment to upholding the principles of fair play and sportsmanship. He has already joined the long line of immortal Turkish sports celebrities.
My condolences go to his beloved club Galatasaray and family. May God rest his soul in peace…
Dear Beşiktaş Supporters,
Today, Beşiktaş Sports Club has become a potent force in Turkish society, thanks to a string of exemplary and innovative work that started 107 years ago and affected all aspects of Turkish life.
Some of Club’s Founders have even fought in the War of Independence side by side with the Great Leader Atatürk and did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for their country.
In light of these and similar events, Beşiktaş has developed to be more than a conventional sports club, so unlike other Turkish clubs, its mission reaches far beyond sports.
Now, besides being successful in sports, it is our duty to fulfil this historical mission and take action toward creating a society we all want to see. Keeping in mind our social responsibilities, we’ve recently realized various projects in Elazığ, Mardin and Istanbul cities to help the local poor and needy. As ordinary Turkish citizens’ favourite team, we will continue to support them from here to eternity.
Dear Beşiktaş Supporters,
Since 1903, Beşiktaş has completed many successful business projects that have helped our club financially. We are planning to undertake a number of new initiatives which will provide the club with a steady source of income and secure its future. From now on, no one should worry about the future of our club, because the future belongs to Beşiktaş…
In order to build more sports facilities and strengthen Beşiktaş’s finances, we will soon start implementing a set of exciting projects that will have everyone in envy.
Just like the Black Eagle, we always look ahead and strive for the best.
With my deepest love and respect,
Yıldırım Demirören
Chairman, Beşiktaş JK
