Istanbul’s beautiful Golden Horn, the shelter of lovers and ships, became the city’s dustbin after the 1950s. But that changed in the late 1990s. This is how
Istanbul’s famed Halic, or the Golden Horn as its old residents call it because of its shape, is a primary waterway between the Bosphorus and the Marmara Sea. For thousands of years, it has served as a grand symbol of the city’s beauty and richness, its tranquil waters separating the city’s historic centre from its suburbs.
The terrible smell spreading from the beautiful old waters of Halic made it unbearable to live close to the water. But cleaning efforts stalled during the tenure of Nurettin Sozen, a leftist mayor, who took over the municipality from Dalan in 1989. Among other issues, Erdogan particularly focused on cleaning Halic, a legacy he left to his successors who have continued to implement the project.
With the support of the municipality in 1995, Ozturk and his associates launched the Halic Rehabilitation Project, one of the subcomponents of the overall Halic project, which analysed the type of mud inside the water and worked on possible ways to extract it.
