Dramatic news from Turkey

The Turkish Handball Federation informed on February 6 this year about the disappearance of Hatayspor coach Savas Yukses and Cemal Kutahya, a representative of Turkey and a former Ankaraspor player. Four days later, the federation announced that the handball player is under the rubble with his pregnant wife (fourth month of pregnancy), mother-in-law and five-year-old child.

Unfortunately, on Thursday, the Turkish Handball Federation announced the dramatic news that 32-year-old Cemal Kutahya died in the earthquake together with his five-year-old son, Cinar.

The Turkish Handball Federation has written a special statement.

– As the Turkish Handball Federation, we wish God’s mercy to our captain Cemal Kutahya and his son Çinar, and to the bereaved relatives patience and condolences. We will do everything to preserve the name of Kutahya, who has been successfully representing our country at the highest level for years. Thank you Cemal for everything you have brought to our country. We will never forget you,” the statement reads.

Kutahyi played for Hatay Buyukehir Belediyespor, which is currently the leader of the Turkish league. In 15 matches she scored 29 points.

Some time ago, information appeared in the media about the collapse of the hotel where 14 players of the Hatay Women volleyball team lived – they are currently considered missing. “About four in the morning we were awakened by pounding on the walls. I didn’t know what was going on. Then we realized the building was shaking. The impression was as if he was rocking like a boat on the water – said Angielski in an interview with “Fact”.
