Turkish Hard Coal Enterprises (Turkish: Türkiye Taşkömürü Kurumu, TTK) is the heavily subsidized state owned enterprise which has a virtual monopoly in mining, processing and distribution, including importing, of hard coal in Turkey.[1] [2] According to 21st century data up to 2014 Armutcuk, Karadon and Uzulmez were more hazardous than Amasra and Kozlu mines.[3] Although coal mining accidents in Turkey decreased considerably after the government introduced tougher safety measures in the mid-2010s,[4] the relative danger compared to other occupations since then is not publicly known, as the government restricted access to workplace death statistics.[5] TTK made a loss throughout the 2000s and 2010s: 112,100 lira ($) was lost (operating loss) per employee in 2019.[6]
TTK only sells to the public sector.[7]
