The sports world in Greece is no stranger to passionate rivalries, but the recent exchange between GS Iraklis and AS PAOK has escalated beyond the usual competitive banter. GS Iraklis has responded with force to PAOK's recent announcement, unequivocally stating that fabricated narratives will not alter the truth. The club has made it clear that the matter is heading to the courts, and they will not stand idly by while their facilities are subjected to unauthorized intrusions aimed at terrorizing athletes, children, and families.

Δεν θα επιτρέψουμε σε κανέναν να μπαινοβγαίνει στις εγκαταστάσεις μας τρομοκρατώντας αθλητές, παιδιά και οικογένειες

— GS IraklisStating their firm stance against unauthorized entry and intimidation at their facilities.

In their official statement, GS Iraklis expressed astonishment at PAOK's claims, questioning why, if PAOK believes they were the victims, they haven't filed an official complaint with the authorities, as Iraklis did. The statement sarcastically suggested that perhaps PAOK's notorious 'club-wielding' and 'helmet-wearing' followers visited Iraklis's facilities merely to congratulate them on their football team's promotion, or that their young athletes misunderstood the 'benevolent intentions' of these visitors.

Η αλήθεια δεν αλλοιώνεται μέσω επικοινωνιακών χειρισμών.

— GS IraklisAsserting that communication tactics cannot distort the truth.

However, Iraklis stressed that their commitment to opposing all forms of violence is unwavering. They pointed to the nine years of peace at their facilities, adjacent to the monument of Nasos, attributing this to their own diligent protection and respect. The club reiterated that all further discussions will occur before the competent authorities. They firmly declared that no one will be permitted to enter their facilities and behave in a manner that intimidates athletes, children, and families. The era of tolerance for such actions is over, and the truth will be determined by the justice system, not through communication tactics.

Τα ερωτήματα είναι αμείλικτα και η απάντηση θα δοθεί στη Δικαιοσύνη.
