It seems the Turkish racism continues, to the case of the recently killed Marko Ivković, whom i knew is not just a sports related violence but a clear view of racism and Turkish dominance. Why would Turkish sports fans kill someone like him who is just visiting the area for the sake of supporting his club against another?
The answer is simple. He is Srbi. No motives were found? If the Turkish authorities cannot find the suspect, it is either protecting it or somehow the government will not tell the public. I am truly sick about Turkey becoming a great country or being tolerant. Those are falsehoods and not what most people wanted to see. Can we let the Turks ravage the non-Muslim Balkan states again? Shedding blood in a sports event means questions to why. Even if i speculate, trust me. Turks killed in the name of the state a lot of times and it spread to sporting events.
I think the fans of Galatasaray should be educated! Uneducated murderers! Never seen the two sides of a coin and making sure the Turkish dreams of colonization of the Balkans continues through these horrendous killings!
This is the statement of Euroleague regarding the murder of young Marko:
Euroleague Basketball and its clubs, players and
coaches throughout the continent join the world family of sports this
weekend in mourning the death of a visiting fan to Istanbul on Friday
and in condemning the senseless violence that took his life.
The 25-year-old stabbing victim, Marko Ivkovic, had travelled
from Belgrade to support Crvena Zvezda Telekom in its road game against
Galatasaray Liv Hospital Istanbul. The incident, which took place before
his arrival to the arena, is under investigation of the Turkish
authorities.
Euroleague Basketball has requested that both clubs and the
Turkish authorities investigating the crime make available all the
information about the incident and will evaluate any measures to be
taken.
Through his club and Serbian authorities, Euroleague Basketball has expressed its deepest condolences to the victim’s family.
“This tragedy offends the true spirit of sports,” Jordi Bertomeu,
President and CEO of Euroleague Basketball, said in a statement.
“Violence has no place in our game, at our arenas or anywhere near them.
It’s just the opposite. Respect between rivals dedicated to the same
ideals should bring us all together. That is why we organize and play
sports. Today, we must all refocus on those ideals.”
