Club president Emin Palalı said at the end of the event that they had taken over the club with around 7 million lira of debt. Palalı continued:

“We are beginning a new season with a new board. We are the only team in Bodrum with five trophies, competing in Europe and carrying the crescent and star on our chest for Muğla. We will shoulder the burdens of the past and build the future together. We especially thank Ahmet Aras and our mayor Tamer Mandalinci for standing up for sport in Bodrum.”

“We are strong with a young and dynamic team”

Club vice-president Selim Yıldız stressed the youth and energy of the new board:

“As the new board we are ready to take our club further. I have worked with our president Emin Palalı before. With the energy of our young colleagues we will make Armada Praxis Yalıkavak stronger both in Turkey and in Europe. We also thank the press; they have always been beside us.”
