Reactions
Under the slogan "We protest against those responsible for being spectators to our future that is being lost", members of the Association of T/C Biologists held a protest event outside the "presidential" building at noon. We are at the point where the green island, as we used to say, has been reduced to ashes, she said at the protest.
The association's president, Gizem Mulla, spoke of omissions that led to this disastrous outcome.
They reacted mainly because the T/C leader, she said, gave priority to not losing lives but "it is clear that because animals and plants do not have the right to vote, he does not count them." Moula said that for the past four days, those animals and plants that were in the Flamoudi-Kandara area have died, considering that this too is as serious an issue as the loss of human lives.
He also complained that there is a serious shortage of personnel in the "forest department" and criticized the fact that while they cannot acquire a firefighting helicopter, so much TL million will be spent to build a new "presidential palace".
"We were surprised to see that we asked for help after 24 hours, when it was already too late. Have the fires we have experienced, especially in the recent past, taught us nothing?" she questioned.
Moula also said that "we are leaving a shame to the younger generations. We are ashamed, we hope you are ashamed too," speaking outside the office of the T/C leader.
Moreover, the head of the Green Peace Movement, Dogan Sahir, told a TV show that if help had been requested from the first hours, from the first day, by the G/C side and the bases, none of this would have happened.
He said that the movement from the first hours contacted the Bases who had indicated their readiness to help and also environmental organizations on the G/K side who told them that there were two planes available. "But our people told us there was no need. They told us (help) would come from Turkey." The help, he said, was rejected by the "director" of the "forestry department", adding that if there had been air intervention by 6pm on Tuesday, we would not have experienced all this.
