The Minister of Environment prepares to a bring suit against Baklan Mayor for he organised a dog fight.


       The government also reacted against Baklan mayor of the city of Denizli
       for he organised a dog fight in the region. The Minister of Environment
       Fevzi Aytekin said he would bring a suit against the Mayor Ayhan Demirdover,
       who organised a dog fight with a permission of beautiful dog contest.
       Reminding that the animals' rights law draft that hasn't passed because of
       the opposition of Natuonalist Action Party deputy Husnu Yusuf Gokalp forbids
       such savagery Aytekin said, he will bring the issue to the Prime Minister
       Bulent Ecevit.
       "If people have bad intentions or they are sadistic, we would not be able to
       prevent such events even if the law passed. The dog owners may be ignorant,
       they don't have to know the legal code. In Denizli case the Mayor requests
       permission, the local administrator gives the permission and the governor is
       informed. Even if there is no such law, the local authority should have
       known such a savagery could take place and shouldn't have let it happen.
       Denizli governor launched an investigation against the dog fight organised
       by Balkan mayorality. Governor Yusuf Ziya Goksu considered the event
       unacceptable and said those responsible for such a barbarism will be
       punished.
       On the other hand the Mayor Ayhan Demirdover said the show has been
       organised for years and defended that it is a tradition. "Contestors from
       the Aegean, Mediterranean and Middle Anatolian region participated in the
       fight. Dogs were specially trained for fight. I want to build a bridge of 36
       metres long and I need 5 billion liras. We earned a billion and 100 million
       liras in the
