The event was attended by representatives of fan clubs from 10 former Soviet countries (Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan), as well as from Australia, United States, Canada and Germany.
\nPAOK President Ivan Savvidis<\/strong> welcomed the fans who established the unified club from countries formerly belonging to the Soviet Union:<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked hearing from your lips that PAOK are one family. PAOK should be everywhere and will be everywhere. In South America, in Australia and across all continents. The regime in the former Soviet Union made it difficult to travel abroad. There were Russian-speaking Greeks who loved PAOK but didn\u2019t have the opportunity to watch them play.<\/p>\n

I employ more than 19.500 people in my companies. Whenever I walk in the offices, everybody asks me how PAOK are doing. People used to come up to me in the street and tell me \u201cacquire PAOK, don\u2019t let them get relegated\u201d. The same happened when I would come to Greece and talk to people here in Thessaloniki\u201d.<\/p>\n

Instead of relating their own problems to me, they would talk to me about PAOK. That was the spark that made me decide to engage\u201d, PAOK President said. He concluded his greeting by reminding the new members of the \u201cDouble-Headed Eagle\u2019s\u201d family: \u00abRemember, if you go to Toumba to watch PAOK, you will stick with this team and never leave their side\u00bb<\/em>.<\/p>\n

PAOK team manager and member of their \u201cgolden generation\u201d Kostas Iosifidis<\/strong> also addressed the fan club members, declaring himself confident that \u00abwith Savvidis at the helm of the club, I am certain that PAOK will get to live glorious moments, reminiscent of the \u201870s and \u201880s\u00bb<\/em>. Giannis Athanasiadis<\/strong> also greeted the guests.<\/p>\n

The members of the PAOK fan club of former Soviet Union countries underlined that \u201cwe had three aims when forming this club: first, to bring together all foreign-based fans of PAOK, second, to support the club and, third, to remain in sports\u201d. They intend to organize excursions and follow PAOK around and hold several events in order to promote the club in their respective countries.<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s general assembly, consisting of representatives from ten countries, elected their coordinating executives: president Kostas Mouratidis<\/strong>, vice-president Christos Savvidis<\/strong>, general secretary Ivan Nazimidis<\/strong>, organizing secretary Grigoris Kutalov<\/strong> and press officer Roman Dobrovolsky <\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The motto chanted by the members of the newly-founded club is: \u00abPAOK is an idea, youth rides along\u00bb<\/em>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a heartwarming event held in \u201cAristotelis 2\u201d Room of Makedonia Palace Hotel, the \u201cPAOK fan club of former Soviet Union countries\u201d was presented","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":192961,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":[],"categories":[5,1524],"tags":[1465,4324,4667,4669,5034,5035,5036,5037],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nP\u0391\u039f\u039a in former Soviet Union countries [photos] -
