[QUOTE=Tony LEE;518721]I'd say the Turkish Army and Police are on extremely "heightened alert" because of the current situation so anyone travelling in that area just has to accept that security is tight and they had better tread carefully.

There has been detailed news coverage today on UK TV of the situation highlighted in the two abstracts above.
A theme of such reports is that the tensions may not subside after the Turkish elections scheduled for November 1st.
PKK activity has increased markedly but there is also the IS/ISAL/Daesh factor - it seems likely that that conflict is spilling over the border from Syria.
