Elaz

A NATO oil pipeline crossing from eastern Turkey has been pierced by a bulldozer working on private land in the eastern province of Elaz??, resulting in the spillage of tens of thousands of liters of oil.

The pipeline was damaged by a construction vehicle in the area, where it crosses the village of Saraybahçe in the Kovanc?lar district of Elaz??.

A security bill that has precipitated fisticuffs in parliament and protests on the street will pass come hell or high water, President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has promised.
