No essential difference between protecting water sources and homeland: Erdoğan
ANKARA – Turkey‘s president said Monday that the parliament is continuing its work on new national water law.
“We are preparing a water law in parliament in order to reach our goals more quickly and prevent conflicts in water management,” Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in a speech given virtually to the opening ceremonies of five water-related projects in four cities.
“We see no essential difference between protecting our water sources and our homeland,” he continued.
Erdoğan underlined that during its nearly two decades in power, his government put into service “600 dams, 423 ponds, 590 hydroelectric power plants, 1,457 irrigation facilities, and 262 drinking water facilities,” representing a total investment of 277 billion liras ($31.9 billion).
