"Project of the Century" Water Project from Turkey to Cyprus delayed

The ‘Project of the Century’ Project which envisages to bring water to northern Cyprus via pipelines from Turkey has been delayed.

The switch on date for the multi-million euro project was supposed to take place yesterday July 20th 2015, to coincide with the anniversary of the 41st Peace and Freedom day in TRNC.

There was some speculation that the opening ceremony was to be conducted by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.

However, Birol Cinar, the director of the project admitted that work was well behind schedule. He blamed 'adverse weather conditions', saying the project would probably be finished sometime in August 2015.

When complete, the network will pump 75 million cubic meters of water annually from Turkey to Cyprus with pipelines 250 meters under the sea.

  Paul Schofield What a joke, the roads are more dangerous now than they ever were! If that was possible. I see more RTCs due to poor road conditions and poor standards of driving. Suppose it's worth it but we'll never drink it!
