Sedat Cezayirlioğlu shares striking video following mine collapse

Sedat Cezayirlioğlu, who has been campaigning against the mine in the region for many years, shared a video message on social media following the landslide that occurred at the Çöpler Gold Mine in İliç, Erzincan.

Cezayirlioğlu stated the following:

"For years, I have been shouting at the top of my lungs that 'you will drag Turkey into disaster.' Right now, you have dragged not just Turkey, but the world into disaster.

It is the 3rd largest gold mine in the world. The world's greatest disaster is unfolding at the Çöpler Gold Mine. Billions of tons, 39 types of deadly chemical substances have erupted. A collapse occurred underneath.

Construction machinery and trucks are trapped underneath. There are deaths. The İliç Prosecutor who closed my file last year, you acquitted Ahmet Çalık. Now go and pay the price.

The Erzincan Court that closed my files, go and pay the price. Binali Yıldırım, you made a statement about me. This disaster is happening right now. It is not just Turkey's, but the world's greatest disaster that has occurred."
