Within the past few decades,
Turkish government has launched many mega projects as a part of their political
agenda. These projects have started wide discussions in Turkey, as many of
these projects were not considered environmental-friendly, sustainable, nor
necessary, and mostly because they are not responding directly the need for
energy and sustainability, but bringing a huge burden on an economy in crisis,
and as they underestimate the disaster risk, and especially difficulties
arising because of the eroding principle of the rule of law in Turkey, in terms
of environmental law and policy, posed a major concern for public.
This article aims to give an
outline of Mega Projects in Turkey, particularly in Istanbul, and will try to
evaluate the environmental effects, under Turkish Environmental Law and
International Law.
