Turkish derby incident a security lapse, says Deputy PM

Issue No. 23 | December 01-15, 2013

The Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister, Bulent Arinc has pointed to security negligence in the failure to prevent groups from invading the pitch at the Besiktas-Galatasaray football match in what he called an incident “orchestrated for provocation”.

Bulent Arinc told reporters that between 3,000 and 5,000 people seemed to have entered the stadium covertly for provocative actions. He said necessary and even radical measures should be taken to prevent similar incidents from taking place. Hundreds of fans halted the Istanbul derby between Galatasaray and Besiktas after storming the pitch at the Olympic Stadium. Galatasaray was leading 2-1 in the third minute of added time when the match was stopped.
