A canal through Turkey? From soaring bridges to plans for the world’s biggest airport, President @rterdogan has used gargantuan building projects as an engine of growth and a way of leaving a stamp on his nation. On Istanbul’s highest hill overlooking the #Bosporus, he’s building the gigantic Camlica Mosque, with 6 minarets, the insignia for greatness. And as he campaigns for re-election on Sunday, he has promised his most ambitious project yet: a canal that would bisect the country and create a Turkish-owned trade route. “What makes Panama is the Panama Canal,” he told supporters at a rally in Istanbul. “Suez is the biggest source of revenue for Egypt. Let’s have a vote.” In 15 years, President #Erdogan has amassed sultanlike powers, jailed political enemies and trimmed civil liberties. But the most obvious way he has left his mark on #Turkey stands before the eyes of any visitor: grandiose monuments and infrastructure investments. The proposed 28-mile canal is estimated to displace some 800,000 people and cost $15 billion, though critics say the figure is closer to $65 billion. And it would run parallel to the Bosporus Strait, where transit is free under the 1936 Montreux Convention. That doesn’t help. Many argue that shippers would be unlikely to pay for the canal when there’s a free passage a few miles away. @sergeyponomarev made this #timelapse video showing shipping traffic in the Bosporus.
