A land of approximately 1 million 106 thousand square meters, owned by the Treasury, in the village of Toparlar, in the K\u00f6yce\u011fiz district of Mu\u011fla, has been transferred to the Housing Development Administration (TOK\u0130). TOK\u0130, which took over the land that the villagers have been cultivating, growing olives and earning for 50 years by paying their taxes and taxes, with the aim of ‘producing cheap housing’, has put a part of this land up for sale through an auction. The villagers did not even know about the tenders held in Ankara and Istanbul. The villagers learned from the advertisements posted in the municipality that the lands were sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to BirG\u00fcn, the villagers are against the sale of the olive groves and citrus orchards they have been working on for years. The villagers, who say that the tenders are held in Ankara and Istanbul and that they do not have the opportunity to pay the determined tender prices, draw attention to the fact that there is a large rent in the region. The villagers want the decision to be withdrawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THEY WILL TURN INTO HELL<\/p>\n\n\n\n
