The Turkish Geosciences Data and Core Data Bank (TÜVEK), which was established to archive the cores, samples and geological data documents obtained from the drillings for the exploration and production of mineral resources, will be the national library of Turkey’s mining. TÜVEK will have the second largest rock sample storage capacity in the world. Explaining that the current construction was completed in a short time of 421 days, Head of Environmental Studies Department Ayten Cesur said that repeated drillings across Turkey would be prevented. While saving labor, time and cost, all the information produced will remain in Turkey. The project will be completed in a total of 10 years in 4 stages on an area of 373,000 square meters.

Türkiye’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced that Istanbul’s Çamlıca Tower has hosted approximately 2.3 million visitors since its inauguration by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on May 29, 2021.

Standing at 587 meters above sea level, the tulip-shaped tower is the tallest structure in Istanbul and combines architecture, technology, and visitor experience. It includes 49 floors with observation decks, restaurants, and interactive exhibits showcasing Istanbul’s landmarks.

Uraloğlu emphasized the tower’s role in broadcasting, currently supporting 100 FM channels, 16 analog TV, and 15 DAB+ stations, along with services for GSM and public institutions. He noted that Çamlıca Tower has significantly reduced electromagnetic emissions in the area, lowering levels from 39 to 2.5 Volts/meter—well below EU safety standards.
