Birlik said the same goes for Şırnak city center and that 70% of the city center has been demolished. Birlik stated that the city has been completely destroyed and nothing about life has been left standing, the city of Şırnak has been turned into a construction site with diggers and cranes, and if that wasn’t enough, the neighborhoods outside of the clash zone have been included in the demolition area. Birlik added: “460 more houses have been included in the demolition order. The families have been sent notices of evacuation two months ago, but the neighborhood residents have no place to go now.” Birlik pointed to the fact that almost all the demolished houses were the property of the residents and there were few renters, and continued: “The families were not paid any kind of compensation whatsoever, and were sent notices that stated they had to evacuate within 3 days, otherwise their homes would be demolished with their belongings inside. When people asked the official state institutions where they were to go, they were dismissed and told to ‘go wherever’.”
