This article is about the organization which mines hard coal. For the organization which mines lignite, see Turkish Coal Operations Authority.
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.[note 1][3][4] According to 21st century data up to 2014 Armutcuk, Karadon and Uzulmez were more hazardous than Amasra and Kozlu mines.[5] Although coal mining accidents in Turkey decreased considerably after the government introduced tougher safety measures in the mid-2010s,[6] the relative danger compared to other occupations since then is not publicly known, as the government restricted access to workplace death statistics.[7] TTK made a loss throughout the 2000s and 2010s: 112,100 lira ($20,000) was lost (operating loss) per employee in 2019.[8]: 35.36

Notesedit
^Taşkömür (literally stone coal) in Turkish means "hard coal". On Wikipedia, hard coal redirects to "anthracite". However total organic carbon of Turkish coal is up to 72.5%,[1] whereas anthracite has over 86%.[2] Therefore Turkey has no anthracite and the use of the phrase "hard coal" for coal mined in Turkey does not mean anthracite.
