Campaigners Hail Company Pull-out from Turkish Dam
A range of environmental and rights groups have welcomed the decision by a major British construction firm Wednesday to withdraw from a controversial hydroelectric dam project on Turkey's Coruh river. Campaigners from Friends of the Earth and the Kurdish Human Rights Project, among others, said the future of the Yusufeli dam, in northeast Turkey, is uncertain following AMEC's pull out from a consortium of companies involved in the multi-million dollar scheme.
