In İstanbul, an agricultural land of 111 thousand square meters has been zoned for construction and declared a “commercial area.” There are currently 1,443 trees in the parcel and commercial units can now be built on 61 thousand square meters.

Addressing a Parliamentary question to the Parliamentary Speaker’s Office, HDP MP Turan has raised concerns about the lands that will lose their status of being an agricultural field or a forest land if the Canal İstanbul Project is carried out.
