Haunted by PKK terrorists nearly three decades ago, a village in eastern Turkey has now turned into a peaceful abode
Ulukaya village in eastern Turkey was attacked and burnt by terrorists in 1993, forcing residents to migrate to other cities.
Living in other Turkish cities all these years, residents always dreamed of returning to their homes. Their dreams were realised by the Turkish Armed Forces, who battled against the PKK terror group, to clear the area from terrorists. The villagers who sought refuge in urban cities to escape from terror have populated their village once again, growing vegetables and fruits in their gardens.Recalling days when they were forced to migrate from their ancestral homes, village elder Tahsim Tetik remembers when there were attacks leaving behind death and destruction almost every day.
"We experienced very painful days. But now our country has maintained security and those who returned to the village are farming and growing vegetables and ranching again."
