After Gümüşhane, CHP reported its investigations on gold mines and other environmental problems in Erzincan. In the report, it was stated that the gold mine in İliç distributed 130 thousand liras in order to prevent the citizens from filing a lawsuit against the mine. In a sense, the “Economic Relocation and Livelihood Support Protocol” signed by the gold mine with the Sabırlı villagers is a document of bribery!..

130 THOUSAND LIRA FOR NOT OPENING A CASE!
On October 31, the party’s Nature Rights Unit reported the investigations and interviews with citizens in Kırkbulak village, Kemaliye district of Refaiye district, and Sırakonak, Gözaydın, Ağıl, Dilli villages and İliç district of this district. Perhaps the most striking part of the report is the section of the gold mine called “The social approval mechanism has operated throughout the province of İliç and Erzincan”. The CHP’s report includes the following allegations in this section; “In the examinations made on the documents shared with our delegation; Within the scope of the protocol called “Economic Relocation and Livelihood Support Protocol”, 40 thousand TL fuel aid, 50 thousand TL livestock support and 40 thousand TL were given to those residing in Erzincan province İliç district Sabırlı village before the signing date of the protocol by the miner company. 130 thousand TL of aid was provided, including TL feed support. According to the provisions of the protocol, the residents of the villages who received support have approved the projects related to mining, which are carried out and will continue by the group and affiliated companies of Anagold and Alacer Gold Maden AŞ, which are currently working and / or will work in the future. It is forbidden for those who receive assistance to make any special, administrative and/or judicial applications other than a real violation of rights. In case of violation of this prohibition, the company will have the right to demand the aid amount of 130 thousand TL, together with interest, back.

Article 2.4 of the protocol is as follows; “Support recipients agree and undertake to provide all kinds of support for the performance of the mining activities of the group and its subsidiaries, in which Anagold and Alacer Gold Madencilik AŞ are partners”

In the report of CHP, it is claimed that the company also donates large amounts to organizations such as Erzincan University and Erzincanspor.
