Syrian refugees forcedly evicted after being attacked by locals - LOCAL

A group of 25 Syrian refugees were forcedly evicted from homes where they were sheltering in the southeastern province of Gaziantep on July 1. The refugees were attacked by a crowd of locals after rumors spread that children in the area who were playing on the streets had been threatened by knife-wielding Syrians.

According to claims by locals, a group of Syrians holding döner kebab knives in their hands chased away a group of young children for making too much noise in the city’s Karayılan neighborhood, prompting a witch-hunt against refugees in the area.

Pistachio shells to heat eco-city in Gaziantep

Turkey has begun to tender building its first ecological city, where public buildings could be heated by burning pistachio shells – the abundant local product in the southern province of Gaziantep.

The ambitious project will be founded within five years in a 3,200-hectare area between Gaziantep and Kilis on Turkey’s border with Syria.

French environmental engineering firm Burgeap discovered in December 2013 that Antep pistachio shells – with its 19.26 calorific value per kilo – are the most feasible local energy source in the province.

La Turquie a commencé la construction d’un mur le long d’une partie de sa frontière avec la Syrie dans la province de Gaziantep (sud-est), rapporte jeudi le journal Hurriyet citant les autorités locales.
La mise en place de ce mur de 4 mètres de haut sur une partie de la frontière turco-syrienne est destinée à endiguer l’afflux d’immigrés clandestins en provenance de Syrie.
En octobre dernier, les autorités turques ont entamé la construction d’un mur de séparation à proximité de la ville frontalière de Nusaybin (sud-est). Des habitants locaux et des membres du Parti pour la paix et la démocratie (BDP) pro-Kurde ont alors dénoncé la construction de la clôture, tandis que la maire BDP de Nusaybin, Ayşe Gökhan, a déclaré une grève de la faim en signe de protestation.
