Soyer: “Izmirians can relax”
Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Tunç Soyer He said, “Izmirians can relax. There is no garbage leachate or methane gas leakage related to the Harmandalı Landfill Facility. This has been determined by the preliminary scientific reports we received from the professors of Dokuz Eylül University. But I think the final report will be out in 1 month. In line with this report, it may be necessary to drive bored piles somewhere, to make expropriations and to evacuate the building, but we can say that there is no such situation at the moment. We are in safe hands. A very rigorous scientific study is being carried out. Immediate detections continue to be made with inclinometer wells in the landslide area. These studies also inform us about whether there will be any major disasters that may arise in the landslide area. On the one hand, as the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality and the General Directorate of IZSU, we continue to work together on the route drawn by our teachers, on the other. We will do what needs to be done in line with the final report," he said.
