Yüksekova, District capital at 1950 meters in Hakkâri Province, Turkey
Yüksekova extends across 2,547 square kilometers near the borders of Iran and Iraq, containing fifty-two villages within its administrative boundaries.
The area transformed from an East Syriac Assyrian settlement focused on agriculture in the 1810s to its current status after population changes in 1915.
The district includes three municipalities - Yüksekova, Büyükçiftlik, and Esendere - each maintaining distinct Kurdish and Turkish communities within their boundaries.
The continental Mediterranean climate brings cold snowy winters and warm dry summers, with temperatures averaging 7.7 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The district sits at a strategic location between two countries, making it a natural corridor for regional trade and transportation networks.
