The statement included the following:

"Two separate criminal complaints have been filed by our Ministry with the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office for the crimes of 'causing zoning pollution' and 'causing damage to Registered Protected Areas, Cultural and Natural Assets Required to be Protected, and Protected Areas' regarding the structure in question. The process is being followed meticulously. Respectfully announced to the public."
