20 days ago, the Turkish state attempted a major provocation in the rural parts of Gever (Yüksekova), Hakkari.
The Turkish state attempted a major provocation in the rural parts of Gever (Yüksekova), Hakkari, nearly 20 days ago. Initially, soldiers were dispatched in the region. Soon after, Special Team police forces arrived and the soldiers were asked to carry out a special operation in the area that lies between the Gever district of Hakkari and Şemdinli. HPG guerrillas were the apparent targets of the operation. However, an argument broke out between the Special Team police and the soldiers who were chosen to join the operation.
It is claimed that soldiers insisted that the situation did not require an operation, however Special Team police argued otherwise. This time period is also when the Ağrı-Diyadin-Tendürek provocation took place. Soldiers argued that PKK-HPG guerrillas were not in the area where the operation was to take place, and if they were in those areas an offence would cost soldiers many casualties.

Can PKK, Turkeys Hezbollah reconcile?
A long-standing lull in the bloody conflict between the Turkish Hezbollah, a Kurdish-dominated Islamist group, and the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has long fought for Kurdish rights in Turkey, has been shattered amid the war between the Islamic State (IS) and Kurdish forces in neighboring Syria. The tensions, which had flared up over the past year, climaxed earlier this month in Diyarbakir, the largest city of Turkeys Kurdish-majority southeast, when four people close to the feuding sides were shot dead in broad daylight. The unrest sparked fears of renewed Kurdish fratricide in the region, but both sides called for peace and common sense as they have reaffirmed in interviews with Al-Monitor.
