Karpaz Project Will Not Be Withdrawn, Says Ustel
Prime Minister Unal Ustel has said that the government will not withdraw the draft law concerning low forest lands in Karpaz, which is on the parliamentary agenda, despite calls from the main opposition.
Ustel stated that the government had evaluated the Republican Turkish Party’s (CTP) request to withdraw the bill for further review, but decided to proceed without changes. “The CTP asked us to withdraw the law so it could be reassessed. We discussed this within the UBP group and we will continue in the same way,” he said.
Referring to the scope of the project, Ustel noted that the land in question covers 3,500 donums. He emphasized that no construction will take place on the land outside of educational purposes. He also said that planned recreational works would help shape the region’s maquis vegetation.
Ustel added that the project has been on the agenda since 2008 and has been delayed until now due to expropriation and other related issues.
He also drew attention to ongoing conflicts in the Gulf region, referencing appeals made by the Israeli Prime Minister to the European Union. “Taking all of this into account, I wanted members of parliament to once again consider how important these areas are,” he said.
