Parliament hands Istanbul’s lucrative ‘Finance Center’ project to AKP-run district
ISTANBUL

The lucrative 'Finance Center' project on Istanbul's Asian side is expected to gather the headquarters of many banks and financial institutions.

The Turkish Parliament approved Sept. 9 a new legal arrangement redrawing the boundaries of two Asian-side districts as part of a new omnibus bill.

The law effectively transfers the Barbaros neighborhood, where the lucrative “Finance Center” project is being built, from the Ataşehir Municipality, which is in the hands of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), to the ruling Justice and Development Party-run (AKP) Ümraniye.

Government officials have argued that they intended to define the limits between the two municipalities according to two highways crossing them.

However, the opposition has suggested that the change was made after a demand from the contractor company, Ağaoğlu İnşaat, whose owner, Ali Ağaoğlu, is known for his closeness to the government.

Litigation began when residents of a neighboring housing complex filed a complaint after Ağaoğlu İnşaat used explosives on the construction site.

The Istanbul Governor’s Office said the complaint should be conveyed to the municipality of Ataşehir, but the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality told them that the relevant municipality was Ümraniye. In the meantime, the company continued to use explosives, arguing that the task was being conducted by a specialist firm and monitored by a university.

Environment and Urban Planning Minister İdris Güllüce said the new arrangement was not "changing" the boundaries, but "defining" them. “We have only re-described the limits,” Güllüce said.

‘Trillions’ worth of profit’

However, opposition lawmakers were not of the same opinion. Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) deputy Hasip Kaplan claimed the move would provide trillions of liras’ worth of unearned profits.

For its part, the CHP accused the AKP of seeking ways to further enrich Ağaoğlu, a figure who often invites scorn due to his maverick ways and disregard for the environment.

The eccentric constructor has several residential complexes in the area, mostly aimed at middle-upmarket families.

We can't be all tree huggers... but it doesn't means that rich people should destroy a few remaining green in the cities by bribing politicians just to get even more richer.

TURKEY’S FIRST ARTIFICIAL ISLAND AIRPORT SET TO OPEN NEXT YEAR
Ordu-Giresun Airport, off Turkey’s Black Sea coast, which will be the country’s first airport on artificial land in the sea, is scheduled to open next year

ISTANBUL — The airport between the northern Turkish provinces of Ordu and Giresun will be the eighth airport in the world built on an artificial islandafter its construction is completed and will be the first such airport in Europe and Turkey.

Construction began in 2011 on an artificial island opposite the coast of the Gülyalı district of Ordu. The airport is named after the two provinces as it is located in a place 19 kilometers from central Ordu and 25 kilometers from Giresun. Authorities decided to build the airport on an artificial island as no suitable location was found in geographically challenging provinces where rugged mountains run parallel to the coast, an obstacle for flights, particularly from Russia on the opposite coast of Black Sea.

The airport's runway will have a length of 3,000 meters and width of 45 meters. About 30 million tons of stone were used for the artificial island. Authorities said 90 percent of the infrastructure construction was completed while only half of the superstructure was completed so far. The airport will have a 20,000 square meter terminal.

Concerns were raised over the durability of the airport that is situated in an area where storms and heavy rainfall are common. On Wednesday a storm surge had washed away a major motorway adjacent to the coast of Giresun, carrying away vehicles, but local authorities downplay the effect of weather on the airport. Authorities said the construction site withstood the severe storm and was being built resistant to the harshest weather conditions.

The airport, originally named Or-Gi, after the first two letters of the provinces, was renamed after its unfortunate connotations in English. :lol:

The idea for an artificial island airport for the two provinces was first conceived in 1992 and the construction work was started in 1994, but it came to a halt shortly afterward due to high costs. The new airport will have an estimated cost of TL 290 million ($128.5 million).

The airport will serve about 2 million passengers yearly and will boost air travel to and from the two provinces that have a total population of 1.2 million.
