    The Turkish forces have carried out operations against the party in Iraq for more than a decade. Since March, the forces have deepened their presence in northern Iraq by at least 15 kilometers and established several advanced positions, including in the rural areas of Dohuk and Erbil provinces under the control of the Kurdistan Regional Government.
    Residents say the Turkish armed forces have banned areas around their sites from civilians, but the population relies on these low-density agricultural areas.
