Cengiz Holding close to Turkey's President Erdoğan is reported to be responsible for cutting trees for the Turkish army.

Cengiz Holding is one of the largest and most prominent industrial conglomerates in Turkey.

Cengiz Holding maintains contracts with the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) and the Ministry of National Defense, primarily centered around large-scale military infrastructure, defense-adjacent civil engineering, and strategic raw material supply.

During Turkish cross-border operations, local environmental organizations—including the Kurdistan Greens Union—and local officials reported that Turkish forces contracted private Turkish firms to log dense oak and walnut forests.

Cengiz Holding was specifically named by local monitors as one of the primary contractors commissioned to perform large-scale logging and clearing in border corridors.
