Şırnak Province, Province in southeastern Turkey.
The territory spans 7,078 square kilometers, featuring mountainous regions in the west and south, with plateaus formed by the Tigris River and its tributaries.
The province was established in 1990 by separating territories from Siirt, Hakkâri, and Mardin provinces, marking a significant administrative reorganization in southeastern Turkey.
The region contains seven districts, including Beytüşşebap, Cizre, Güçlükonak, İdil, Silopi, Şırnak, and Uludere, each with distinct Kurdish and Turkish communities.
The Ibrahim Khalil border crossing connects Turkey with the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, making it a central point for international trade and transportation.
Mount Cudi, Mount Gabar, Mount Namaz, and Mount Altın create a natural barrier system that defines the geographical character of the province.
