![Since the 2003 Turkish Junior Basketball
Championship held in Konya, there has been some controversy to Ilyasova's age and national origin. 41] The controversy is fueled by the claim that a man named Arsen Ilyasov, born in 1984 in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, entered Turkey as an 18-year-old on 7 August 2002 and was never heard from again, while on 19 September 2002, a man named Semsettin Bulut claimed to have forgotten to register the birth of his now 15-year-old son, and did so as Ersan ilyasova, a Turkish citizen. (42)
(43) This claim, that ilyasova is actually Ilyasov and should be an Uzbek player, was officially put forth by the Uzbekistan Basketball Federation in a grievance, but FIBA ruled in the Turkish Basketball Federation's favor. 39) While this controversy was brewing, ESPN's Chad Ford referred to Ilyasova as
"The 17-year-old forward from Uzbekistan is widely considered the best prospect to ever come out of Turkey."(44) Other biographies, while not claiming an Uzbek birth, still maintain a 1984 birth year](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pt43zhszg7sjyrtxjwktlorm/bafkreigxsdq3usivfxgjbxm7iwdk77ji7ndzfbp3zcawj7gykn5nejb354@jpeg)
