He stated, “We will use the expenses of the festival we will hold in Alsancak in September to drill two water wells. Water is more important to us than anything else.”
Ataser’s statement is as follows:
“Due to the depletion of water in our Ilgaz well and the inadequate supply of water from DSİ in Turkey, we are drilling new wells, and our work continues. Additionally, we will conduct studies at two more points determined by the engineers of the Mining and Geological Department on the map. These efforts require an additional budget. We will use the budget for this from the expenses of the festival we will hold in Alsancak in September. For us, water is more important than anything else.”
