Silopi (Kurdish: Silopî)[2] is a city and seat of Silopi District in the Şırnak Province of Turkey.[3] The city is mainly populated by Kurds of Sipêrtî and Zewkan tribes and had a population of 108,880 in 2023.[4][1]

Adalet Fidan of the HDP was elected mayor in 2019[5] but deposed the same year and replaced by the sub-governor (kaymakam), Sezer Işiktaş, as acting mayor.

Large sections of the city were damaged in 2016 during clashes between Turkish forces and the PKK.[6]

Neighborhoods

The city is divided into the eleven neighborhoods: Barbaros, Başak, Cudi, Cumhuriyet (Kizir), Dicle, Karşıyaka, Nuh, Ofis, Şehit Harun Boy, Yenişehir and Yeşiltepe.[3]

History

Recent history

Since July 2015, the Kurdish-Turkish conflict in the region has escalated, and 34 people have been killed in Silopi. On 7 August 2015 clashes between Turkish security forces and the Kurdish militant PKK group may have killed three people. Government reports claimed "terrorists" were killed,[7][8] while pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party lawmaker Faysal Sarıyıldız said that the casualties were civilians and that he had seen no sign of armed militants.[9] Turkish authorities placed the city under curfew from 14 December 2015 to 4 January 2016. According to the Peoples' Democratic Party, 20 people were killed.[10]

Employment

Şırnak Silopi power station is powered by asphaltite coal and is claimed both to emit air pollution and to be an important source of employment.[11] In 2020 the EBRD proposed a just transition to support workers who may lose jobs due to the decline of coal in Turkey.[12]

Peanuts are grown.[13]
