The Yeni Şafak newspaper claimed that eight coal businesses in Trabzon were sealed and that former Transport Minister Adil Karaismailoğlu played a role in the decision.

The newspaper wrote that the businesses were closed after some local homeowners complained of "dust" and that Karaismailoğlu pressured bureaucrats. Karaismailoğlu serves as an AK Party Trabzon deputy and chair of the Turkish parliament's Public Works Committee.
