A fire broke out in a forested area on Mount Gabar in Şırnak province, where the Turkish state continues to plunder nature. A fire broke out in the forested area at Ziyaret Hill on the mountain, which was declared a ‘special security zone’ by the governorate. It is learned that although there is a road at the scene of the fire, no intervention has been made yet.

Although the Turkish military and village guards in the area for oil exploration were informed, they did not intervene in the fire on the grounds that it is ‘mined land’.

It is reported that the area, located at the summit of the old Dara village and Gabar mountain, has been ‘forbidden’ to civilian access since the 90s.

It is noteworthy that there are only company employees, village guards and soldiers in the area where the fire broke out.
