We’ll call him Rüzgar (“wind” in Turkish, also sometimes used as a first name for men) for the purposes of this article. “The channel which the line is passing through is the only region conducting organic farming activities such as ours,” Rüzgar says. “I just want to show the paradox of how these wind power plant activities — which we are deeply involved in — are destroying our organic farming activities.”
