(The road connecting the northern and southern parts and passing through the valley. The road length is 100 meters and has been equipped by putting tubes under it and covering it by asphalt). This road was collapsed due to the heavy torrents caused by rain. Turkey has opened a part of the separation wall to change the track of the torrents’ waters towards Turkish territory and prevent its collection in the valley. However, the amount of water is large, and the rain is still falling heavily.
