Dangerous Threat in Bingöl Halifan: No to Thermal Power Plant!

BİNÇEVDER President Cuma Karaaslan stated that everyone has witnessed landslides and similar disasters that have occurred in various parts of Turkey in the past and most recently in Erzincan's İliç district, and said, "No one has the right to transform the lands we consider sacred." said.

Karaaslan stated that they absolutely do not allow the extraction of the country's minerals, which can be obtained so easily from Canada, Germany and America, without shedding blood or paying a price, and said: “This includes collaborators. We all know whether this coal coming from Halifan village is a blessing or a curse. Now we question whether this coal is a blessing or a curse. If we do not protect the lands of this country, we will not have future generations. "They will not be able to find a place where they can live like their own children here," he said.

Making evaluations about the project that will be put out to tender on March 22, Karaaslan said, "In this project, 'Redevanlar', 'RönesansThere are incredibly hostile and foreign words that make up official names, such as '. Isn't it? The people of Redova are given the authority to search, operate, evaluate and diagnose as they wish, they are offered 3-5 kuruş annually, and after this offer they are given the authority to go to the place where the coal seam is. Although the boundaries and coordinates are drawn under the word 'exploration' it is underground. Our reason for being here shows that there is no guarantee that a coal power plant will not be built here one day. This is the first disaster; When the coal power plant is established, an area of ​​200 square kilometers including Elazığ, Diyarbakır, Muş and Erzurum will be destroyed, as well as livestock, flora and fauna in the region. Water resources will disappear. You know that 60 percent of the water resources waiting for the Tigris, Euphrates and Murat rivers come from Bingöl. Now it is our duty to destroy them and protect this region, this country, this city. You won't be the only one hurt here. Let everyone know. The atmosphere is universal; "The borders are clear, but there is no concern for this village. If you remain silent as our intentions here are lost, one day a thermal power plant will be built here, Bingöl, Diyarbakır, Elazığ and the country will disappear," he commented.

Noting that there are environmental platform associations in seven regions and that they will ask for help from the judicial authorities to annul them if necessary, Karaaslan said, “The Bar Association is behind us. The bar promised us today. They stated that they will pursue our cases in the upcoming legal fight without charging any fee. But we have a problem. The authority to file a lawsuit belongs to this village. Because it should belong to the local and relevant people. If we file this lawsuit, the authorities see the lawsuit we filed as unnecessary. "That's why, when we file that case, we will follow it up with the headman, hopefully with the help of the bar," he said.
