Beşiktaş Condemns Illegal Occupation of Club Complex
Beşiktaş JK has issued a strong statement regarding the ongoing legal battle over the BJK Fulya Süleyman Seba Complex. The club confirmed that legal action has been taken against individuals who are defying a court-ordered eviction.

These individuals resorted to threats, verbal abuse, and even attempted physical assault, all while disrespecting the authority of the court.
Beşiktaş, a club with a proud 121-year history, expressed its outrage at this blatant disregard for the law and the club’s values. The statement underscores the club’s unwavering commitment to upholding its honor and legacy, stating that they will not tolerate any infringement upon their rights.
Legal action has been initiated against those responsible for this unacceptable behaviour. Beşiktaş remains resolute in its determination to reclaim its property and ensure that justice prevails.
“A Club Under Siege?”: A Conversation with Former Turkish International, Tugay Kerimoğlu
Welcome back to the show, everyone. Today, we’re tackling a story that’s shaking the very foundations of Turkish football: the ongoing battle over the Beşiktaş JK training complex. Joining us today to discuss this already volatile situation is a man who knows just how much a club means to its fans, former Turkish international and European veteran Lieutenant Colonel Tugay Kerimoğlu. Mr. Kerimoğlu,welcome to the show.
Tugay: It’s a pleasure to be here.
Let’s get right into it.Beşiktaş have issued a fiercely worded statement, calling out Aşçıoğlu İnşaat A.Ş. for what they are calling an “illegal occupation” of their training ground. What’s your take on this situation?
Tugay: Well, this is truly shocking. Beşiktaş are a club with a rich history, a club synonymous with Istanbul itself. It’s deeply unsettling to see them treated with such disrespect. A court ruling is a court ruling; this company needs to respect the law and vacate the premises.
Beşiktaş alleges that the company, even after losing the legal battle, has defied eviction orders and even resorted to threatening and physically intimidating Beşiktaş supporters who attempted to display the club’s emblem. this sounds beyond just a legal dispute. Are we looking at something more, perhaps, even a power struggle?
Tugay: That’s a serious accusation, and I wouldn’t want to speculate. But it’s certainly concerning. Football clubs are more than just businesses; they’re institutions, symbols of community, pride. To see this kind of aggression towards the heart of a club like Beşiktaş is alarming. There must be a very clear, firm response to send a powerful message.
Beşiktaş has promised to reclaim their property and ensure justice prevails. What kind of action do you hope to see from them?
Tugay: They need to be relentless. This isn’t just about a piece of land; it’s about upholding the integrity of the club, its history, its fans. Beşiktaş should use every legal avenue available to them, and they need the full support of the Turkish football authorities in this fight.
This story has wider implications beyond just beşiktaş, doesn’t it? It touches upon themes of power, respect for institutions, and corporate responsibility.
Tugay: Absolutely. If a company can blatantly disregard a court order, what message does that send? It undermines the rule of law, it sets a perilous precedent. It’s vital that Beşiktaş prevails in this fight, not just for themselves, but for the future of Turkish football and the values it stands for.
I want to thank you for your insights, Mr. Kerimoğlu. This is a story we will continue to follow closely. It’s a situation that demands attention, not just from Beşiktaş fans, but from everyone who believes in the sanctity of the game and respect for its institutions.
