Residents from multiple villages are protesting a geothermal power plant project near Varto, Turkey, led by IGNIS H2 Energy. The vigil, ongoing for over seven weeks, highlights concerns over environmental impacts, including threats to water sources and agricultural land.

The protest against the geothermal power plant in Xwarik, near Varto, Turkey, has lasted over seven weeks, with various villages taking turns to maintain the vigil. Organized by the Youth Council of the Varto Ecology Platform, the initiative has united multiple villages, ecological groups, and democratic organizations in opposition to the project proposed by US-based IGNIS H2 Energy.
Protesters claim the project endangers local water sources, agricultural land, and ecological integrity. Activists demand the cancellation of the project and plan to sustain their protest until their concerns are addressed.
