Hürser Tekinoktay to run for Besiktas JK Presidency in 2014
NationalTurk has asked Hürser Tekinoktay about his presidential run, announced via press release on 19th March.
Besiktas JK can have a president, who comes from within sports in two years. The oldest sports club in Turkey will elect a new president this sunday, but in two years at the general assembly Besiktas will have another option for presidency.
Istanbul / NationalTurk- Contractors, businessmen had been running for presidency of Turkish sports clubs up to the present, and Besiktas JK will elect this sunday its new president from a trio of candidates who are all tradesmen, after former chairman Yıldırım Demiroren left the post only to be the current president of Turkish football.
However this can change in two years at the next general assembly of the 109 year old sports club from Istanbul in 2014, as Hürser Tekinoktay, a former coach at the Besiktas youth academy has announced his candidacy for presidency at the general assembly of Besiktas Sports Club due to take place in 2014.
A presidential candidate, who declares his candidacy 2 years ahead a election, was something Turkey hasn’t seen up to the present.

” I want to prevent the trade of votes by members of congress during the general assembly by declaring my candidacy two years ahead of next presedintial elections ” Tekinoktay says, referring to rapidly changing sides in the voting system right afore the elections. ” ” Presidential elections are all about politics and plots, candidates announcing then withdrawing their candidacies on the last day, i want to stand up to this travesty” he expressed.
