Yüksekova
Yüksekova (; ) is a municipality (belde) in the Yüksekova District of Hakkâri Province in Turkey and is the largest city in the whole province. The city is populated by Kurds of different tribal backgrounds including non-tribal. The city also has a large ethnic Turkish population for the region and historically had a large Assyrian Christian population although, the Assyrian share of the population used to be much larger than it is today due to the Ottoman Empire's genocide of Assyrian Christians. Yüksekova had a population of 72,745 in 2022. Remziye Yaşar (Peoples' Democratic Party) was elected mayor in 2019. She was arrested in October 2019 over terrorism-related charges and replaced by a trustee appointed by the central government. Name 
Yüksekova was historically known as Dize meaning fortress in Kurdish. The word Yüksekova means 'plateau' and is a Turkification of the original name Gever which in Kurdish means 'raised meadow'. In Armenian, however, the word refers to an administrative unit such as district of province, while the word refers to Zoroastrians in Persian. For Muslims, Gavar means infidel and refers to all non-Muslims. Neighborhoods 
The city is divided into the ten neighborhoods of Cumhuriyet, Dize, Esentepe, Esenyurt, Eskikışla, Güngor, Ipek, Mezarlık, Yeni and Yeşildere. Demographics
