The ancient Turkish city will go under water. He is 12 thousand years
The historic town of Hasankeyf in Eastern Turkey would be almost completely flooded in connection with the construction of a dam for a new hydroelectric power station.
Authorities say the dam will provide the country with electricity and water for irrigation.
Critics are concerned that the project will destroy ancient cultural sites, including the caves of the Neolithic period, and will radically change the local ecosystem.
