The Turkish state, which built dozens of posts and police stations on the border line of Çaldıran district in the province of Van and Doğubayazıt in the province of Ağrı, is now building a new wall.

The Turkish state, not content with the posts and police stations built on the border, is erecting a wall on most of the Van-Iran, Agri-Iran (Rojhilat, Eastern Kurdistan) border.

The main purpose of the wall, said the authorities, is to prevent refugees from crossing the border, but other commentators said the real reason is the war in the region.

Thousands of refugees come to Van from Iran every month. Especially in areas where police stations are located, refugee smuggling is intense.

It is known that in Çaldıran recently, human traffickers and soldiers jointly take refugees into Van and illegally earn large amounts of money. The state, which exploits refugees and earns money from them, prevents the Kurdish people from doing border trade.

The Iranian and the Turkish states hold "security meetings" every month in Van and Iranian border cities. A meeting was held in August to discuss how to prevent refugees from crossing as well as banning people's border trade. After the meetings, the building of the wall has accelerated.

The people of Çaldıran said that the wall on the border was not to prevent the refugees from coming, but to start a total war against the Kurdish people and actually forcing people to migrate.
