The Establisment of the Environment Ministry
and its Purposes
 The
Ministry of Environment was established in 1991, as a consequence
of the careful attention paid to environmental problems
in Turkey. Work on such problems which have increasingly
occupied the agenda of the world public opinion, was initially
conducted within an under-secretariat, and a directorate,
and was subsequently upgraded to the level of a ministry
of the cabinet. The focus ofthe work of these environmental
agencies was initially pollution, although in the last few
years, conservation of nature and of living things has been
accorded a greater status. The new ministry still operrates
via a central organization although work is under way to
institute regional administrations. This will provide the
ministry with more effective means of opperation and a greater
geographical extension.
