Gallipoli Drilling: 4 Gas Projects Spark Outcry Over Concrete Claims

Turkey's state-owned oil company TPAO is pushing ahead with four natural gas exploration projects in Gallipoli, a region prized for its ecological and historical significance. The projects have drawn criticism from environmental advocates and local groups. One approved project faces a legal deadline: opponents must file a lawsuit by November 9 to challenge it. A second project is still under environmental review, but critics claim concrete construction has already begun at the site before the assessment process was complete.
