A stream has overflowed its banks due to heavy rainfall in Arhavi district in Turkey’s eastern Black Sea province of Artvin, badly affecting the district center and village roads and causing several people to be stranded.

Heavy rainfall has led to floods in Rize’s Fındıklı district and Artvin’s Arhavi district in the Black Sea region. Vehicles have been submerged and several houses and workplaces have been flooded.

“How is such an irony, such foolishness even possible? The MNG company has destroyed the valley on the right side. They have now declared it a national park,” says Erdoğan Güler, the Spokesperson for the Arhavi Nature Conservation Platform.
