Hands off Karpaz!

With your signature you support the preservation of an untouched pristine Mediterranean coastal biotope. The Turkish-Cypriot platform "No fuel terminal in Karpaz" is going to use the signature-list as an instrument of international protest to fight the project. Construction of a fuel terminal with the capacity of 12 million tons in the unspoilt nature of Karpaz Peninsula in North Cyprus In one of the most pristine areas of the European Union an environmental disaster is about to emerge! It is being considered to build a fuel storage facility on the northern coast of Cyprus, near the village of Yedikonuk / Eptakomi for the import and export of petrol, diesel, gas and tar. The planned 12-million-ton plant at this site threatens sea turtles, Mediterranean monk seals, migratory birds and endemic flora and fauna of the peninsula as well as the eco tourism, which is laboriously built up in this rural area by the residents. Environmentalists and committed residents in North Cyprus warn against the consequences of this project. However, they are dependent on international support, because their own country, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, is not recognized as a sovereign state and does not consider itself bound by international environmental standards. The Turkish Cypriot platform "No fuel terminal in Karpaz" calls on the Government of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to veto the Petroleum Storage Investment on the north coast of the Karpaz Peninsula! Spread this call to friends and supporters to build a broad platform of interest!
