DANGER
Gürer said, “No study was conducted by evaluating the protected sites and historical texture. The line should be shifted to Niğde. Otherwise, the fairy chimneys could be damaged and destroyed ”. Gürer stated that the historical texture of the fairy chimneys in Nevşehir will be damaged due to the problems that may occur in the vibrations of the high speed train and said:
'' A new railway line will be laid between Konya, Aksaray, Nevşehir and Kayseri to reach Antalya. The YHT project, which was previously carried out in Bursa, has also undergone changes as it passes through agricultural lands, and a direction shift was made. The same will happen in the Cappadocia Region. The new railway will naturally cause damage here. If no change is made, the SIT areas will be approached. The vibrations of YHT will also damage the fairy chimneys in the region. Problems arise because no studies are carried out by evaluating the protected sites and historical texture.
200 KILOMETER ON TIME
The Antalya-Konya-Aksaray-Nevşehir-Kayseri High Speed ​​Train Project, which will have a length of approximately 642 kilometers, will start from Antalya Döşemealtı district, pass through Nevşehir Acıgöl, Merkez, Avanos and Ürgüp districts and reach Kayseri İncesu District.
