The Republican People's Party (CHP) Deputy of Mersin Hüseyin Çamak slammed the change of status of an old natural reserve, Yüzüncü Yıl Tabiat Parkı, announcing that the caretta carettas or lodgerhead turtles under protection will be slaughtered by the state.
Deputy Çamak refers to recent attempts of Ministry of Forestry
and Water Affairs, swithching the status of the field from a nature
park to recreation spot. According to Çamak, if this status change
occurs, the nesting grounds of endangered caretta cerattas will be
destroyed, over construction of hotels in the area.
