In the heart of Mount Pangai, where the water flows freely in the bed of the Marmara River, a project stands unfinished – a symbol and monument of inactivity. The Marmara Dam started as an idea in the 1980s, in 2007 the contract for its construction was signed, but as of 2018, the work stopped when it had reached 95%. The numbers of cubic meters of water lost each year are strikingly disappointing when you consider what they could contribute to a “thirsty” local economy.

Eric Cantona is a French veteran soccer player. He was one of the sport’s biggest stars and was noted for his explosive temper. The Greek Eric Cantona is Stratos Papafilippou.
