Concrete poured on Karasu beach for caravan park, mayor calls it illegal

Sakarya Metropolitan Mayor Yusuf Alemdar stated that pouring concrete within the coastal line is prohibited and constitutes a crime, promising an investigation. Representatives from three parties (Felicity Party, New Welfare Party, CHP) condemned the project, arguing it contradicts claims that beaches belong to the public and calling for relocation to wooded or non-central areas.
