Jerusalem is our first qibla. I believe that those who oppress and are cruel will definitely be punished in the world. It can become a country, it can become a human being.” There will be a community, it will definitely get its reward. I have never seen a world where oppressors win. There are many examples I have witnessed. I hope we will see those days. The Palestinian people deserve freedom, they are a very strong people who can rule their own land. Perhaps it is our country, our state, that stands up loudly on their side. May God bless them too. Our ancestors and our valuable elders stood by the troubled society wherever it was. As a state, we show an exemplary stance. I am very sorry, but there is a life in which the oppressor will one day receive his reward.”

We wanted to have a friendly match with the infrastructure to see the current players and the players who will join the club. I have to think about my club, what is important to me are the interests of Ankaragücü. Who “No matter who we are as president, it is not our place to belittle a club.
