Elazig Governor Dr. Ömer Toroman, on the other hand, made statements about the infrastructure and agricultural availability of the region. Governor Toroman continued his words as follows:

“Kuzova is a large plain that has passed into a closed system, its irrigated system is experiencing serious problems due to pumped irrigation costs. In order to overcome this, our Ministry of Agriculture, DSI General Directorate, came out with a tender for a 2 megawatt power plant in order to support our farmers with the solar power plant model. Unfortunately, we could not conclude the tender due to price volatility, but we are about to enter our second tender. Water agriculture is a well-known high value-added agriculture. On the other hand, the Uluova problem, which is one of the chronic problems of Elazig. This place was built over time and served, but at this point, there is 30 percent evaporation and water loss. Even a drop of water is very precious in this time period that water is so precious. Therefore, our ministry and DSI have done the necessary work for this to be put into a closed system, and received their approval, but with the Presidential decision published in May, they transferred and allocated additional resources to uluova and similar large agricultural projects. We are grateful for this. Both the Elazığ uluova project and our President have signed a resource facility of approximately 550 million, which is a very high figure. With this figure, it means that we will turn uluova into a completely closed network in 2022-2023, and uluova will become irrigated agriculture after many years.”
