Last minute news! Turkish Basketball Federation Deputy Chairman Ömer Onan said that they were attacked in the dressing room corridors after the Georgia match in the European Championship.
Onan told reporters, “After he was kicked out of the game, they attacked Furkan Korkmaz in the corridor. The match was over, 30 policemen each fought in front of the locker room. Georgia’s official police had a physical fight with us.”
“IF THE PICTURES ARE NOT WATCHED, WE WILL WITHDRAW FROM THE TOURNAMENT”
Onan, who wanted the footage of the locker room corridors to be examined in full, said: “We are calling out to FIBA; they will bring all the cameras in that corridor to us, minute by minute, without missing a second. If they do not bring them, we will leave the tournament. We will officially fight each other with the Georgian police. We say open up, they do not answer. “All the cameras will be looked at one by one and we will see the decision they will take on it. If they do not do this quickly, we will not let these children get hurt, we will withdraw from the tournament.”
Ömer Onan, who holds FIBA responsible for the problems in the organization, said, “The biggest mistake here is FIBA. If you can’t get the safety of two players, you will not do this job. We will also talk to our Consulate, security or something. Because obviously they will not protect it. There is also a rule error in the match. “There’s nothing to hold back. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a thing in my acting and managerial life,” he said.
