Near the town of Kirazlı, a few dozen environmentalists have slept in tents since July 26 as part of what they call a “Watch for Water and Conscience.”
Activists say cyanide will be used to extract gold in the Alamos project and will contaminate the soil and waters of a nearby dam.
On Aug. 5, some 5,000 protesters from across the country gathered on a hill near the planned mine site carrying signs reading: “Don’t come if you like gold,” and “We can do without gold, we can’t do without the Kaz Mountains.”
