Hakan Sukur – Turkey's fallen saint who can stay away forever home
There is a photo, acclaimed in Turkey, taken at the wedding of one of the country's most prominent footballers, a Uefa Glass victor who played in a World Container semi-last. In the photo, Hakan Sukur is beside two witnesses, the country's leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the pastor Fethullah Gulen. A wedding should be one of the features in a man's life yet it didn't work out like that for Sukur.
The lady he wedded that day is dead, Sukur's dad has been detained and the player topped 112 times by Turkey winds up estranged abroad. Should he ever come back to his local land he would confront charges of offending the president and opposing the legislature. Life detainment would be sure and he could even face capital punishment. He will never observe his dad again, all the applause he once had is lost. Sukur has lost his nation. Different footballers have fallen yet nothing can touch the Sukur story for the statures and the profundities. He was a legend, the Bull of the Bosphorus in a nation where they eat, drink and rest football. He had everything: record goalscorer for Galatasaray and his nation, gigantic regard even from enthusiasts of the other Turkish monsters, Fenerbahce and Besiktas. He even played nine times for Blackburn Wanderers in the 2002-03 season, scoring twice. He accomplished fame at the 2002 World Container, scoring against the South Korea has in 10.8sec in the play-off match – the speediest objective at a global competition.
After retirement matured 36, he filled in as a savant and afterward went into legislative issues. Sukur spoke to the religious and moderate AKP, the gathering in control today. And after that, abruptly, the photo left concentration, and all that he had accomplished meant nothing.
His marriage finished in separate. His previous spouse Esra was slaughtered in the 1999 tremor that ended the lives of no less than 17,000 individuals in Izmit and Istanbul. Sukur was currently an intellectual on TRT, the national Television slot. He was proficient and came over as genuine, continually fascinating and sharp. He wedded again and had three youngsters. His political leanings drove him to end up a MP for the decision Equity and Advancement Gathering, the gathering of Erdogan. Yet, he held a nearby association with Gulen, the other man in that wedding photo.
Gulen is a shadowy figure who lives in Pennsylvania however might urgently want to come back to Turkey to lead it towards a more Islamic state. So in 2013, when the administration chose to close the crammer-type schools keep running by Gulenists (they have a broad system of schools far and wide), Sukur surrendered from the overseeing party and turned into a free MP. Football now appeared far off and his inconveniences were simply beginning. He had just been seeking discussion, for example, telling a college group of onlookers: "I am an Albanian, in that capacity I am not a Turk," risky words under the most favorable circumstances in a nation where words, for example, "Albanian" and "Kurd" can be viewed as being pitched against the predominant patriotism.
In 2016 Sukur was arraigned for offending the president via web-based networking media. He went on trial in absentia in June, demanding he had not planned to focus on the president but rather prosecutors said the tweets were unmistakably identified with Erdogan. At that point, in July of that year, the fizzled overthrow was faulted for Gulenists. Amidst the most populated city in Europe gunfire could be heard. More than 300 individuals lost their lives. In the months that took after, 120,000 lost their occupations and 50,000 were captured. Anybody with Gulenist sensitivities was under doubt. A capture warrant was issued for Sukur in August. Prosecutors in Sakarya area accused him of enrollment of a furnished dread gathering, the state-run Anadolu office stated, alluding to what Ankara calls the Fethullah Fear Association.
Sukur had an opportunity to revoke Gulen and guarantee his flexibility and wellbeing however left behind on that. Sukur's dad, Selmet, was seized at a mosque in Adapazari. They were accused of supporting the overthrow monetarily and their cash and resources seized. Sukur figured out how to get away to the US. In June his dad was accounted for to have passed on of malignancy without recovering his opportunity.
Sukur stays in a state of banishment, encompassed by tokens of his splendid football profession. However, a delicate man, who so missed Turkey when he played abroad, discovers his name discolored in the nation where once it rang out in stadiums and in the boulevards.
