He’s returning to the project 27 years after

A tender comes and is issued to a company. “All the legal and technical preparations for the Marmara Sea in Istanbul to be cleaned through biological decontamination facilities are ready,” they say. When? In 1994. I heard this from a company that submitted to that tender. Three spots - Kadikoy, Baltalimani and Riva - were selected for biological decontamination in Istanbul. In 1994, Tayyip Erdogan was elected Mayor of Istanbul and after the election, he “canceled the tender regarding the biological decontamination. The Marmara Sea begins to be polluted in 1994 after Tayyip Erdogan becomes the Mayor of Istanbul.” Nurettin Sozen, who was the Mayor of the city between 1989 and 1994 also confirms it. Erdogan’s decision to back away from the biological decontamination project in 1994 has brought us to this point. But the main reason for the mucilage is “contaminating the sea through domestic and industrial waste”. AKP has been running Istanbul for 25 and Turkey for 19 years. You canceled that decontamination project but you are claiming that the wastewater that pours into the sea is the main reason for the mucilage!
