Gerze
Gerze is a town and a district of Sinop Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey. It is 49 km east of Sinop and 140 km west of Samsun. It was first settled by the Ionians and was known as Carusa. In 2012, the region was subjected to protests and controversy around the proposed construction of a coal power plant, a project that was later withdrawn by the government after a negative environmental impact assessment.
