Ekrem İmamoğlu made significant statements at a critical time for the future of Istanbul.

As he announced his candidacy for the presidency, he clearly expressed his stance against the Kanal Istanbul project. This project is seen as a threat to Istanbul's natural resources.

İmamoğlu pointed out that the destruction of the Sazlıdere Dam threatens the water source of 1.5 million Istanbulites. This situation is unacceptable in a time when the effects of the climate crisis are increasing.

He emphasized that Istanbul's food security is at risk and that this project will destroy agricultural lands. İmamoğlu stated that this situation poses a significant threat not only to agriculture but also to livestock.

In conclusion, İmamoğlu's message is clear: Rational and sustainable solutions must be developed for the future of Istanbul. Standing against this project is essential to protect Istanbul's natural resources.
