Hopans are determined: Don’t touch my beach!

Dilan ŞAHİNBAŞ

Hopa beach is wanted to be filled again with the city plan prepared by Artvin Hopa Municipality and approved by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. If the plan is implemented, Hopa, which was torn off from the sea by the Black Sea Coastal Road filling, will be completely removed from the shore.

In the plan approved by the Ministry on May 6, it is foreseen that a total of 34.4 hectares of land from Sugören to Liman area will be filled. Hopans, on the other hand, object to the plan. According to these objections, the plan will not only destroy the beach, but also the surrounding villages will be filled with quarries in order to extract the necessary materials for the filling. Hopa Pier, which has become the symbol of Hopa, will be demolished. Building another wall between the sea and the city will invite new flood disasters.

EXPLORATION DONE

An exploratory investigation was conducted by experts on the plan yesterday. While the investigation was being carried out, the people of Hopa also came together to claim the beach. Citizens conveyed their objections to the experts.

In the statement published by the citizens, he said, “Not to the sea fill of the Hopa people; It was emphasized that there is a need for a factory, greenhouse, dairy, culture-arts-sports center. In the statement, “The landfill development plan you have prepared has been prepared according to the needs of those who earn money from the money, not the people of Hopa. As those who claim the public spaces and nature of Hopa, we objected to this plan and opened our case. We are here for the first step of our case, the expert discovery ”.

Necati Gear from Sol Genç, in his speech during his expert examination, stated that as young people they spend time on the beach and on the pier every season and continued as follows: “With this project you planned, we will no longer be able to sit on that beach in the evenings; because we will be exposed to sand dust. Our streams will flow mud. You want to take away our living spaces, but as young people we will not allow it. ”…….
