Turkish Forces Guard Borders with High-Tech Surveillance

In Hakkari’s Yüksekova district near the Iraqi border, Turkish forces, known as “border eagles,” are vigilant at the Gevanakurki Base Area, a strategic post at 1,860 meters altitude. Equipped with advanced weapons, thermal cameras, and radars, they maintain round-the-clock surveillance over this former terrorist hotspot, now secured through successful military operations. Positioned across from northern Iraq’s Avaşin camp, a key crossing for militants, the base—along with others like Oramar Mountain and Şikefte—ensures strict border security, with forces on guard in all seasons.
