Syria crisis: Children

..The research team at Bahcesehir University in Turkey found that not only had three in every four children they spoke to had lost a loved one, but one in every three children had been hit, kicked or shot at in the course of the conflict.

"I don´t think there is a single child untouched by this war," the report quotes a child called Safa as saying. "Everyone has seen death, everyone has lost someone. I know no one who has not suffered as we have. It is on such a scale."..

Green light to Canal Istanbul project

The government has pushed the button for the Canal Istanbul project, which will create a big island on the European side of Istanbul, after the Higher Planning Committee signed the project, two years after it was announced by the prime minister.

==================

It is a mouth watering project from the civil engineering point of view but from the environment point of view and as far as city planning are concerned it is a disaster!!

It will increase the population of Istanbul, destroy the northern green areas of Istanbul  and I dont think they know what sort of environmental effect they will get in the end.

The wish to change the direction of flowing waters or tamper coastlines are symptoms of a disease typical only to humans: megalomany. Josif Stalin wanted to turn the waters of River Volga, sheikh Mohamad ibn Rashid Al Maktum has changed the coastline of his desperate piece of desert into a patchwork quilt. The environmental impacts of this disease are enormous. This is what happens when you have too much riches and power and no culture.

Why Istanbul?

Birds in the sky are going to be confused.
