Underlining that he will do his best for Turkey, Felipe Melo used the following statements:
“We are all going through difficult times. You know that I love Turkey very much. I am so sorry for what happened. I am not representing Galatasaray here. We do not represent Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş. I’m just here to help. I am really sad. I thought a lot about this incident.

“WE MADE A DECISION WITH ALEX”
“Apart from this campaign, I thought a lot about helping. Maybe we can organize a special match for donations in the future. Turkish people need support. I love Turkey very much. I talked to Alex de Souza an hour ago. You know, not only Fenerbahce’s idol, but everyone’s. Idol. We made a decision. We decided to play a match at the end of the year. The whole world is talking about Turkey right now. Maybe in a month no one will talk about Turkey. Everyone will forget these events, but let’s not forget. At that time, we can play a match. The day is Fenerbahce, Beşiktaş and “It’s not Trabzonspor day. It’s time for unity. The nation needs to come together. We need to be together for Turkey. I hope God will protect Turkey. I will do everything in my power.”
