Top Turkish court suspends bill clearing the way for energy facilities in national parks
ANKARA
A top Turkish court has suspended a bill that cleared the way for construction projects in national parks, including energy facilities such as hydroelectric plants.
The Council of State ordered a stay of execution on Oct. 25 for an amendment to the national parks regulation, which had introduced a change of wording that activists argued would facilitate the use of the “general interest” argument for all controversial energy-related investments.
