Prof. dr. Canal Istanbul rebellion by Naci G\u00f6r\u00fcr: I have lost my voice from shouting, hundreds of thousands of people have no safety<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Istanbul Technical University, Faculty of Mines, Department of Geology, Professor. Dr. Naci G\u00f6r\u00fcr said that the areas where the Kanal Istanbul Project, which many sectors, especially scientists, passed through, could trigger an earthquake. G\u00f6rer, with the words \u00ab\u00a0I am rebelling as a scientist,\u00a0\u00bb said, \u00ab\u00a0Why don’t you prepare Istanbul for an earthquake and invest in the safety of people’s lives?\u00a0\u00bb he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
G\u00f6rer said, \u201cWhen there is an earthquake, there may be big landslides on the route of Kanal Istanbul. You are creating an island in Istanbul. If a big earthquake happens, you cannot interfere with the island. In a city waiting for an earthquake, the population should not be increased,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Dr. G\u00f6r\u00fcr, who was a guest of the \u00ab\u00a0Alarm Clock with \u0130smail K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fckkaya\u00a0\u00bb program on Fox TV, evaluated the controversial Kanal Istanbul project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why don’t you prepare Istanbul for an earthquake and invest in people’s safety?\u00a0\u00bb he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
G\u00f6rer said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe cannot decide the future of this country with his own team. My children and grandchildren will live here. Istanbul is waiting for an earthquake. Hundreds of thousands of people have no security of life. I was cut off from shouting. Not just me, all scientists! Why don’t you prepare Istanbul for an earthquake and invest in the safety of these people? Why are you turning to this risky and low-yielding project in the toughest economic conditions of this country? As a scientist, I rebel.\u201c\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
