Curfew declared in Diyarbakir

Turkish administration declared a curfew in a village and three hamlets in Kulp, a district of Diyarbakir province.

Diyarbakir Governate said that residents of Yaylak village and Simetok, Derik and Licika Simo hamlets should remain indoors starting from today.

Local sources say Turkish army units are deployed in the area and a military operation is imminent.

Also, the curfews that were declared yesterday in Batman and Mardin are still in force.

Turkish army declares curfews during military operations in recent years. Most of the curfews are declared in remote regions without a good communication infrastructure so usually not all the residents are informed about the practice on time.
