Yeşiltaş is a village in Yüksekova in Hakkari province, Turkey.[1] During the republican period, the region was settled by an tribal tribe called Jilu.

History[]

The oldest name of the village, during the Armenian and Assyrian settlement, is Iştazn.[2] In 1985, the Gendarmerie Border Police Station was established in the village where the village was founded and in 2011 the police station was changed to the Reinforced Gendarmerie Public Security Police Station. Despite the evacuation of riotous villages in 1997 due to terrorism, the village has not been evacuated.
