Hakkâri Province, Province in southeastern Turkey
Located at the intersection of Turkey, Iran, and Iraq borders, Hakkâri Province spans 7,095 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with peaks reaching 4,000 meters.
The province underwent substantial demographic changes during the early 20th century, transforming from an area with mixed Kurdish and Assyrian populations to a predominantly Kurdish region.
The local population maintains seasonal migration patterns, moving livestock between different altitudes according to traditional agricultural practices spanning generations.
The Great Zab River flows through the province, connecting five administrative districts: Çukurca, Derecik, Hakkâri, Şemdinli, and Yüksekova.
The discovery of thirteen stone stelae from the fifteenth century BC in 1998 revealed previously unknown archaeological connections to ancient Eastern Anatolian civilizations.
