Olives will save the world, except us

I grew old while constantly writing on this topic for many long years and signing one campaign after another, but somehow, the enthusiasm of those who revive and submit the bill to cut down olive trees has not petered out. 

Guys, even the kids on the street know that the olive tree is one that never dies. As I said above, you, me and the other; we all grow old, but the olive tree that is 2,000 years old still gives fruit; it helps you survive.
 
This is not only an environmentalist matter. It is also a field where we aspire to have a say economically. We had a target of being the second in the world in olive production by 2020. What happened to this target? 

At this moment, civilized countries in the world are working hard to plant olive trees to combat the predicted draught risk in the future. What do we do? Oh, come on, of course we are in an effort to search for ways to reduce the number of olive trees we have. 

We are working very hard to put mining and construction in place of olive groves so that our oxygen and our natural resources erode. We are trying hard to create legal gaps so that these sectors are boosted. It is wonderful to be a comedian and a comedy writer in Turkey - only if they leave comedy to us. 

According to the bill, the fine for cutting down an olive tree is 4,000 Turkish Liras. From the point of view of the contractor, for instance, the cost of cutting down 10 olive trees would be 40,000 liras. After building even the lamest building over there, your profit would be $400,000. Well, what would a contractor do in this situation? He is a human being. Empathize. 

On the other hand, popular singer Tarkan opposed the bill. And he does not even own any olive groves, can you believe this?
