Arif Kızılyalı: Pay the price!

There was a train accident in Greece recently. 56 people, mostly university students, lost their lives. Immediately following the sad event, the staff on the train line was arrested, “My area of ​​responsibility” said the Minister of Transport Kostas Karamanlis resigned. This would not be enough to calm the Greek people. “apology”. People took to the streets, Prime Minister Kiryakos Miçotakis’He argued that he had to pay the price. Syntagma Square in Athens “We’ll see you at the ballot box, Miço…” moaned with their voices.

However, such actions are not uncommon for Turkey, which is 700-800 kilometers from Athens. For example, there is the 13th hearing of the Çorlu train massacre 5 days later. Those responsible have not been revealed for 5 years, they have not been punished. We might not find a resigning minister or a president who apologized. Is it just a Çorlu train accident? Those responsible for the series of scandals that took place following the February 6 earthquake are walking around sullenly. To the President of the Red Crescent, “Why did you sell the tents you had to donate?” you say, “Thank God” gives the answer. President Erdoğan’a, “Is it too late to intervene in the wrecks in the first days?” You ask the question, sentence by sentence “if”He states that there is not much problem to start with.

You remind me of the increase in meat, milk, cheese prices and accommodation expenses, no one from the palace cabinet is there! In short, those who have ruled the Republic of Turkey for the last 20 years, “price” He doesn’t like to pay.

FLOOD TAKES 21/B

This time, floods took Şanlıurfa, which was hit by the earthquake. power side job once more “It rained this much for the first time in history” Even though he tried to pass it off, Abide Köprülü Junction, where loss of life was experienced, “Invitation” It was given to the companies that are affiliated with 21/B, known as the method of “The best contractor in the world” We remember it as if it was yesterday. So who gave these praises to Bağıban? Of course, President Erdogan!

WHAT HAPPENED TO NUCLEAR ENERGY?

President Erdogan announced in September that the electricity to be produced at Mersin Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant will be included in the grid in early 2023. However, this promise seems to remain in words! Because the construction of the power plant, which was interrupted for a serious time in the middle of summer, is not likely to be completed in the first 6 months of this year with the current construction speed. In fact, if there were no problems between Russian Rosatom and Turkish contractor IC, cheap electricity might have been supplied to the grid before the summer, but the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources only contributed to the project. “looking”Because all authority is left to one man, that train has fled! Speaking of cheap for nuclear energy; When the power plant decision was made, a contract was signed with a unit price of 12.5 dollars. It was high for the conditions of the day. In the climate of 2023, when the unit price of electricity reaches 20 dollars, 12.5 dollars is advantageous.

Let us also remind you that the SES (solar power plant)-RES (wind power plant) options were delayed due to political lack of foresight, and that in case of a possible operational disruption, we became dependent on nuclear, which would turn into a bomb.

A footnote: Turkey’s second nuclear power plant project was in Sinop. Agreed with the Japanese, the reconnaissance had begun. In 2011, Mitsubishi withdrew from Turkey when the Fukushima Power Plant was affected by the earthquake and there was a risk of nuclear leakage.
