Trabzonspor released a statement on its official website this week that they will take the allegations to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) and FIFA.<\/p>\n<h2>Footballers promised sweet deals for not playing<\/h2>\n<p>The claims went public after Justice and Development Party Trabzon deputy Kemalettin G\u00f6kta\u015f said on a turkish television show that Emre Belozoglu promised a number of Ankarag\u00fcc\u00fc footballers that he would assist them on their future transfers to Fenerbah\u00e7e and asked them not to play &#8216;their best games&#8217; against Fenerbah\u00e7e. Joining the same show later, Emre Belozoglu dismissed all accusations and added he did not respect deputy G\u00f6kta\u015f&#8217;s statements.<\/p>\n<p>The messages were later released in the media by Ankaragucu president Ahmet G\u00f6k\u00e7ek himself in another sports show. Ahmet G\u00f6k\u00e7ek, the son of Ankara&#8217;s mayor Melih G\u00f6k\u00e7ek, stated that Fenerbah\u00e7e Sports Club cannot be accused for those messages and he is doing a favor Fenerbahce&#8217;s president Aziz Yildirim by going public in the issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t let my president [Fenerbah\u00e7e President Aziz Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m] be angry,&#8221; the messages Emre allegedly sent to the Ankarag\u00fcc\u00fc footballer say. The senders&#8217; name appears to be &#8220;Emre&#8221; while the messages were sent by Emre Belozoglu &#8216;s agent Ahmet Bulut&#8217;s business partner, Ekrem Okumu\u015f. Ankarag\u00fcc\u00fc president Ahmet G\u00f6k\u00e7ek informed he would present all the details to a public prosecutor, while Okumu\u015f argues that the incident was a joke.<\/p>\n<p>Turkey National Team faces in Euro 2012 qualifier Belgium on Friday this week, Turkey National Emre Belozoglu says he is uncomfortable with the ongoing debates.
