10 quadrillions of investment in Hakkari: 200 Kalekols, 18 HEDs

Erdoğan said they invested 10 quadrillions in Hakkari. This investment has since been revealed to be the 200 Kalekol reinforced outposts and 18 Hydroelectric Dams (HEDs) built in the last 7 years.

Turkish President and AKP Leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke in the AKP Hakkari Provincial Congress and stated that they invested 10 quadrillion Liras to Hakkari.

This statement made the people of Hakkari question where that investment is. Erdoğan mentioned the 10 quadrillion liras of investment, but didn’t say where the money was invested. Shortly after, the truth came to light: ANF’s research has since revealed that the 10 quadrillion liras of investment that Erdoğan didn’t go into detail for is only the Kalekol fortified outpost and Hydroelectric Dam projects. Kalekols and HEDs are everywhere in Hakkari now.

200 KALEKOLS IN 7 YEARS

The costs fluctuate throughout the years, but each Kalekol costs somewhere between 4 and 5 million liras. Public housing authority TOKİ has completed construction of 200 Kalekols in Hakkari center, districts, villages and border lines.

The finished Kalekols are:
