15 May 2008, Ankara- Yildirim Mayruk and Barbaros Sansal have announced their support for Greenpeace’s campaign to stop nuclear power in Turkey at the opening of a banner announcing that “Nuclear Power is a Sham” at the final of the Yıldırım Mayruk Fashion Lab RE-TOX show held at the Ankara Swiss Hotel on May 14th.
Greenpeace Mediterranean Energy Campaigner Korol Diker said that, “The Minister plans to spend billions of hard earned Turkish liras on a dirty and dangerous technology that cannot even deliver what it promises” and added “spending billions of dollars for nuclear power capacity undermines real energy solutions – this money would be better spent on clean, renewable energy and energy efficiency programs”.
Barbaros Şansal said, “While the rest of the world is abandoning nuclear power to focus on clean and secure alternatives, it’s very sad that we are still stuck with nuclear plans. We, as the citizens of this country, don’t want dangerous and illogical choices which threaten our future. Nuclear power is dangerous and expensive. Now we all know that, choosing clean and efficient energies is the best solution for our future”.
Greenpeace and Yıldırım Mayruk, are inviting Turkish people to visit www.greenpeace.org/bakanciplak in order to tell the Minister that nuclear power is a sham.
On the 25th April, 8 Greenpeace volunteers climbed to the roof of the Energy Ministry to demand that the Energy Minister stop plans for a nuclear industry with banners presenting messages such as “The Minister is Naked, Nuclear Power is a Sham”. At the same time Greenpeace volunteers and Greenpeace Mediterranean Executive Director Dr. Uygar Özesmi attempted to give a letter to the Minister after a press conference, but couldn’t find anyone to receive the letter at the Ministry.
