Turkish Fans Jeer Moment of Silence for Paris Victims
That’s a slogan used by Turkish nationalists against the Kurdish.
But Turkey manager Fatih Terim was not having any of it. We can’t wait one minute?
But during Tuesday’s friendly match in Istanbul, fans booed and hissed during the moment.
“It is not a child’s play”.
Elsewhere, a game scheduled to take place between Germany and Netherlands was cancelled and the HDI stadium in Hanover evacuated after police announced they had received a “serious” terror threat.
More than 650,000 migrants and refugees, have reached the Greek islands so far in 2015 using the eastern Mediterranean route, the worldwide Organisation for Migration (IOM) said earlier this month. In a clearly hostile gesture, the fans repeatedly booed and whistled during the Greek national anthem.
Özsarı adds this: “They booed the terrorist, not the victims”.
We must be present in large numbers in the game [stadium] to which our Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu will come. “If this would have been done to us, we would be really upset”. The term “Allahu Akbar” can also be heard, with suggestions from some media that supporters in the crowd were in support of ISIS.
“Fans were chanting a popular Turkish chant against terrorism”, Bedier said. Just two days after more than 100 people died in the Turkish capital when two bombs went off outside the Ankara Central railway station.
Both teams wore black armbands for the victims of the Paris attacks but fans in attendance appeared to boo the minute’s silence loudly.
Greece’s Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was set to visit Turkey starting Tuesday to urge authorities to impose stricter controls on the trafficking of migrants into Europe. Voicing your opinion is one thing, but making racial chants or gestures, booing during a moment of silence, and chanting phrases used by terrorists during a soccer match are things Federation Internationale de Football Association simply has to address and put an end to.
“As the sufferers, as parties affected by all these problems, we made a decision to conduct bilateral technical work”, Davutoğlu said, speaking at a press conference by his Greekcounterpart Alexis Tsipras, who is visiting Turkey. Without of minute of silence. In Turkey, there is rarely a minute of silence that isn’t interrupted by this chant.
