Not allowing showing Ataturk messages is not acceptable at all from Saudis
Both Turkish government and Saudi organisers Riyadh World has made statement regarding scandal during Turkish Super Cup stating that Turkish National Anthem and flags would be allowed to be used but there wasnt allowance for political messages send on accordance to FIFA and UEFA rules.
Both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce hence has refused to come into field when Saudi organisers and authorities didnt allow supporters and clubs to make any visual display and mention of Turkish Republic founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. It needs to be stated here that for seeing Ataturk as political message especially taking account that Fenerbahce were planning to come out with message that calls for peace in the world with message "Peace at home, peace everywhere" does raise question how would make unconfident for Saudi authorities apart of some historical messages. Ataturk is being hence red line for Turkish community and couldnt be prevented his love, admireness and support in any circumstances. Hence,it is unclear how this TFF administration could see if fine and agree with Saudis demands.
Hence, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray has might decision as they did what TFF could do as it was in all honesty after money.
Saudi Arabic political arguments shows how bad-will they are towards matter.
Another factor which needs to be taking attention in such unacceptable actions from Saudi Arabic authorities is to throw blame to both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce stating that this decision has been political.
Saudi Arabic organisers of an event Riyadh World and also according to their local media showing it as political event just shows less likely ignorance but more likely its attitude to Turkish norms, cultures and beliefs especially towards Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Requests from both clubs has been in the place and are not being political at all and hence putting some political issues and following this with connection of not following guidelines is just being absurd. Turkish National Team has been providing signs of admiration to Kemal Ataturk norms and beliefs and also during club teams and has never recieved any fines or criticism from FIFA and UEFA.
It is unacceptable for Saudi Arabic authorities to connect its thoughs Ataturk into political aspects without doubt does show into bad will of them without doubt.
Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have been biggest winners at the Super Cup incident.
When looking at the long run of the incident at the Turkish Super Cup incident has been without doubt both Fenerbahce and Galatasaray due of strong strength which both clubs has taken.
It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray and Fenerbahce has done much more than did TFF during this events as TFF CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi has done everything for game to be played and after TFF didnt make deal with Saudi Arabic authorities it has aimed to convince Galatasaray and Fenerbahce to come into field. Both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce as would been expected did decline such offer making it clear that Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is being red line and hence has shown strong character. With taking such stance it has got big support from all the supporters in Turkey and send strong message to Saudi Arabic that without any mentions of Ataturk will not be accepted at any circumstances.
At short, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce did right action and compare to TFF has send right and strong message to Saudi Arabic and got huge points at the end of the day.
