With the initiatives of the Minister of Tourism and Environment Kutlu Evren and the sensitivity of Girne Mayor Nidai Güngördü, cleaning works were started in the location of ​​the Boğazkoy picnic area.

Cleaning works were initiated by the Girne Municipality Cleaning Branch teams in the Boğazkoy picnic area where more than 100 garbage bags of solid waste were collected in the first stage in the cleaning works carried out in a large area from the early hours of 20th July 2020.

Mayor Güngördü stated that the cleaning and protection of the public areas is the responsibility of those who use these areas and underlined that the condition of the Boğazkoy picnic area, which is the most preferred among the rare picnic areas in the country, is not heartwarming and the people who use it do not show the necessary sensitivity to the region.

Although Girne Municipality does not have responsibility for the area, Güngördü stated that they have carried out cleaning work in the area from time to time as a Municipality, and stated that they placed many garbage containers in the area, but even the garbage containers provided were stolen or destroyed as a result of the insensitivity of the citizens using the area.

Nidai Güngördü stated that they started the cleaning work after the Minister of Tourism and Environment Kutlu Evren contacted him, and announced that the cleaning activities they started on Monday, 20th July will continue.

The Mayor pointed out that more than 100 garbage bags of solid waste were collected on the first day of their cleaning work in the Boğazkoy picnic area, and among this waste were broken glass bottles that could cause fire, especially during the current hot weather.

Underlining that the best protection of the environment is not to pollute, Güngördü stated that citizens should act more sensitively and this is the most important citizenship duty.

In the work initiated by the Girne Municipality cleaning department teams, it was reported that the seating areas and roadsides were cleared by the Municipal Teams in respect of bottles, cans, packages, paper and all kinds of waste discarded from vehicles in the Ciklos picnic area.

Girne  Mayor Nidai Güngördü made a statement on the issue and noted that the responsibility of the municipality is to ensure the cleanliness of the contaminated places, but that the people should keep these areas clean and that the litter, which is left in the seating and picnic areas or thrown from vehicles, negatively affects the environment.

Repeating the statement made in previous years, Güngördü said that as the Municipality of Girne, the Bogaz Picnic Area and Girne – Lefkosa Highway are constantly being cleaned and that the idea of “citizens clean up their garbage” is not true. Nidai Güngördü pointed out that those who want to find the areas clean should use the garbage bags and deposit them into the garbage containers after having a picnic.

Güngördü pointed out that education and awareness activities can be carried out to increase the awareness of citizens towards the environment and noted that they had previously distributed leaflets in the region.
