''The Minister of Urban Affairs of Turkey has recently announced that the demolishments will start in October in 30 places simultaneously, using dynamites in some .
The Minister of Urban Affairs, Bayraktar, declared that the agenda
for the implementation of the Law on Areas Under Risk of Disasters has been
materialized:
'' We will have a start which is going to cause reverberations. We
are starting in October. In 30 or 40 different parts of Turkey, we will have
demolishments'', stated Bayraktar. The prior cities will be
Istanbul,Ankara,Izmir,Bursa,Kocaeli,Sakarya, Konya,Bolu and Van.
Upon the question of ''Do you experience any difficulty in social
support?'', the Minister reflected that '' the people are very willing.We
reached a dimension of voluntariness.Without getting tired,we explain to the
people that they will be getting rid of their dilapidated buildings under
risk. Those who object to this, those who call it the 'transformation of rent/
profit' should come to me and tell me whom we are providing profit, I am
expecting them to come''
Bayraktar stated that engineering studies are being made for
demolishments that will take place in at least 30 cities. During the
demolishments, alongside demolishing machines,explosion by dynamite-a
technique not familiar in Turkey- will also be used. Tests are being made in
order not to cause any disasters via explosion by dynamite.It is notified that
this technique will be used in places where the poplation is not dense. The
Minister Bayraktar expressed that because he did not like the word ''
demolishment undertaker'' , they are looking for other words to coin the
expression.
The financial portrait of demolishments hasn't been substantiated
yet. The demolishments will give a start in October via 'ceremonies' and urban
transformation is planned to be urgent in the first 2 years and scheduled to be
finished in 5 stages in 3-5-7 and 10 year periods''.
