TURKEY 2008: Mevlut Ozmen - The Mayor of Yusufeli

Mevlut is fighting to save his municipality from being submerged by a proposed hydro electric dam. You can find out about this much criticised project and the campaign to sto it here. In this picture Mevlut stands in front of a display in the cultural museum he has opened in town. It would be a tragedy of this valley was to be flooded.
