We give up our right to participate in the league this year only. will continue his activities, our infrastructure studies will continue in the academy However, the board of directors While we have decided not to participate in the leagues this time, the reason for this is that, as you know, we brought this team to the Super League.

Our president has done all kinds of sacrifices to reach this point, the basketball must be adopted and adopted by the city, this year, should the city’s basketball pay off the debt of last year or find the 35 million lira cost of playing in the league now year? We discussed this issue with our board of directors and said that we can no longer make these sacrifices since May, but unfortunately we did not find enough support and non-governmental organizations, but because of the situation of economy, we don’t find enough support from there. ‘Let’s give the naming rights and keep basketball in Samsun.’ We said that the negotiations were carried out by a serious institution, but at the last moment, it did not happen except for this, the weak offers and proposals like ‘Let’s find out, why is it closed, we give it. , we will form a consortium’, but no one offered a concrete solution.
