The foundation stone of the Yusufeli dam was laid on 26 February 2016. During the ceremony, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan, connected by satellite, proclaimed that the dam would be the biggest of the country and the third highest in the world within the category of arch-dams. Part of the Çoruh River Basin Development Plan launched in the early 1980s, the construction of the dam would lead to the submergence of the entire Yusufeli town center and of 19 villages, the displacement of c. 20,000 people and the destruction of all agricultural land.
