diers and police, the unrepentant street fights and vicious ambushes
laid against our military and law enforcement officers are adequate
reasons for keeping on with high security outpost constructions. In
fact, the Southeast region of Turkey is already surrounded by a per-
ilous geography in consideration of our Syrian and Iraqi borders.
Accordingly, the continuation of building these outposts has great
significance in that regard too. While the number of high security out-
posts is multiplying, their quality should also be enhanced, turning
them into living spaces providing facilities for health, education and
social activities in a way to contribute to the people of the region
while also serving as security points. The mobile electronic system
integration should be transformed into a highly professional scheme
to allow for the best and most far-reaching monitoring in the region.
Cemil Bayık, who once confessed that he "was defeated by ISIL
that carried out guerrilla warfare on lowlands" 113 set forth in the Die
Zeit newspaper, "Turkey can no longer combat against us with regu-

that reason, the manufacturing and purchase of long-range missiles
should be accelerated and these missiles should be directly deployed
towards predominantly risky territories and indeed immediately
towards Mount Qandil. Missiles are definitely the most effective and
deterrent arms in comparison to other weapons of defense such as
tanks, rifles, cannon and even fighter jets. That being the case, it is of
vital necessity to give prominence to deployment of long-range mis-
siles.
Taking an example from Iran will be pertinent at this point. It
may be recalled that Iran launched an unexpected operation against
the PJAK (the Iranian branch of the PKK) in 2011. In this operation,
the PKK militants that had infiltrated into Iran were turned away, and
