Template:Linkless EGMA (aka. Peynirlikönü) is the deepest cave of Turkey [1]. It is in the southern region of Anatolia, on Taşeli Plateau and is -1429 meters deep. EGMA stands for Evren Günay - Mehmet Ali Özel Sinkhole.

It was being explored by BÜMAK (Boğaziçi Üniversity Speleological Society) since 1997 when a flash flood caused Mehmet Ali Özel to lose his life inside the cave in 2001. In 2004, with the help of members of Bulgarian Speleological Federation, BÜMAK team recovered Mehmet Ali's body and also reached the deepest point of the cave.
