The Turkish soldiers' blockade in the villages of Yüksekova (Gever) has been continuing for 37 days.

The operations launched by Turkish soldiers from 3 to 17 March in many villages and hamlets of Bajêrge (Esendere) town of Gever ( Yüksekova) district of Colemêrg continued on the 37th day. Four more villages were added to those already "banned" and put under blockade. The headmen of the villages of Soryan, Bilindbasan, Avyan and Golegîrî were called by the District Gendarmerie Command on 4 April and told that "all plateaus and pastures in the villages are prohibited until further notice". The reason for the decision was that an 'operation' would be carried out.
