You're still not satisfied...

Yes! They are not satisfied, and they never will be... A Yörük girl living in Göcek was shouting at the occupiers, "You're still not satisfied..."

She didn't shout for no reason. With an anger and resentment born from the depths of history, she was throwing herself in front of cranes and excavators, trying to protect her land, her nature, and her life from those who were picking apart and occupying the beaches and bays of Göcek. Bless your upright stance, your heart, and your tongue, my sister...

With the same anger...

"We will protect and defend our Günlük Bay to the end—the place where we herded goats in our childhood and youth, where I swam from its shore, where I sat and rested under the fragrant sweetgum trees, and where I drank water from the Osmanağa fountain..." she shouted. "Just as we inherited it from our ancestors, we will leave it to our children in the same beauty and with the same nature..."

Patriotism is not just about standing up to those who come from the outside, but also about saying stop to the occupiers within...

Günlük Bay is the only place where the people of Göcek and the surrounding area can swim in the sea...

Günlük Bay is a cove where reeds, sweetgum (liquidambar), myrtle, bay laurel, pine trees, and many others live together in harmony. In fact, Günlük is the center of tranquility, peace, and happiness. It is a place where fish dance, crabs mate, and even jackals, wild boars, and bees secretly come to swim in the sea.

Shepherd Osman, a nature lover who frequently visited this paradise, built a fountain so that passersby could drink. The people of Göcek crowned that nature-loving citizen as the master of nature and paradise, naming it Osmanağa. Isn't it beautiful to have two names? Günlük Bay, Osmanağa Bay...

Göcek and Muğla are among the few regions where the endemic Anatolian sweetgum tree has lived from ancient times to the present. Even the Phoenix built its nest on Mount Qaf using the branches of the sweetgum trees found here. Perhaps the wisdom of the Phoenix comes from these sweetgum trees, one of the rare trees that lived in this ancient era?

Cleopatra did not just cool off in the bays of Göcek and Dalaman; she used perfumes distilled from the sweetgum oils, known as the "love potion," obtained from the sweetgum trees that grow in this region.

By the way, how did you bring those cranes there? How did you bring those iron beams for the construction to be done there? Where did you get the right to enter the forest without permission? Did you get permission? Are the authorities making a statement about whether they gave permission? It is said that no permission was granted. So, are fake documents being prepared through other channels? Will the public prosecutors, the Governor's Office, and the District Governor's Office, who are tasked with protecting the Republic, not ask how they reached this point? Won't they ask who gave them permission? If they don't ask, wouldn't they be leaving the citizens alone?

While watching the videos, I couldn't help but think, "Is the state's gendarmerie protecting the occupiers instead of protecting the people?" I am addressing those who govern us. They are our lifeblood. This cannot be, it must not be; I do not accept it.

Muğla Deputy Gizem Özcan called out from Göcek, "Günlük Bay belongs to the people, and it will remain with the people." Furthermore, she had brought it to the agenda of the Turkish Grand National Assembly in previous periods and shouted from the podium of the Parliament that the 'Mapa' project was a project to plunder the bays of Göcek. She announced to the world, "While there are 6 marinas in Istanbul with 20 million people and 8 in Antalya with two million, there are 7 marinas in Göcek, which has a population of five thousand. It is a project to destroy those world-class beautiful bays and sea of Göcek..." but our plunderers did not hear. Or if they did, it means it doesn't suit their interests...

There is no such looting; the people of Göcek will not allow this. The Yörük girl, standing tall next to the Atatürk statue in Göcek Square, will continue to protect the sweetgum trees, the sea, the bays, and the nature.

May the assurance of your health come from the sweetgum elixir—the incense.
