Mehmet Özhaseki, Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, in a speech he gave recently, "We literally plundered the Anatolian geography. We destroyed our trees and made our forests bald," he said.
Saadet Party Hatay Deputy Necmettin Çalışkan reacted to Özhaseki's statements.
“YOUR BUT IS NOT TO MAKE EXCUSES, BUT TO CREATE SOLUTIONS”
Çalışkan underlined that he found the statements appropriate and emphasized that confessing the crime does not eliminate responsibility.
Çalışkan stated that Minister Özhaseki and the AK Party government should do their part in the future and said, "Your part is not to make excuses, but to find solutions."
“A STONE QUARRY IS BEING BUILT NEXT TO THE HOUSES IN THE EARTHQUAKE ZONE”
Drawing attention to the problems in earthquake zones, Çalışkan reacted to the removal of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report requirement.
"If the Minister is sincere in his confession, he should address this first. Today, a quarry is being built next to the houses in the earthquake zone," Çalışkan said.
