Following the statements of the Minister of Environment and Urbanization, Murat Kurum, "Our regulation project in Validebağ starts on Monday," Validebağ Defense and Validebağ Volunteers came to Abdülaziz Hunting Pavilion in the morning and started a vigil. It was stated that the vigil will continue until the threats on the Validebağ Grove are over.

 

Photographs about the creatures living in the grove and the past of the grove were hung in many parts of the grove with banners "Don't touch the Validebağ Grove", "No to rent, construction, trade and plunder in the Validebağ Grove". Participants in the vigil also collect signatures from those who come to the grove.
