A large-scale environmental destruction in Gabar Mountain continues under the pretext of oil extraction. DEM Party MP Irmez said that the oil extracted from Gabar meets only one percent of Turkey’s total energy needs, but the environmental cost is huge.
Amed Bar Association’s Head of the Urban and Environmental Commission, Ahmet Inan, said that mining activities are being used as a means to depopulate Kurdistan and added that silence in the face of this destruction is not an option.
“The purposeful destruction of ecological resources is a crime against humanity. These attacks constitute war crimes. By destroying resources, the right to existence of generations yet to come is being taken away,” said TEV-EKO.
KCDK-E is organizing its first ecology workshop today and tomorrow, 22 December, in Freiburg.
