Today
in 16 cities actions have been organized against the Ilisu Dam at the Tigris River, one of the most worldwide
controversial
dams. If completed the Ilisu Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant
Project with its expected grave social, ecological, cultural
and
downstream impacts would become
a
large scale disaster.
We gathered in Bilbo (Basque Country) specially to denounce BBVA's involvement in such a dreadul project, as this BAsque bank owes half of the Garantibank, Turkish bank which together with Akbank are the two funders o Ilisu.
