The Nusaybin District Governor’s Office released a written statement explaining the curfew, which was imposed to reinstitute “peace and security,” will be enforced until further notice. 

“In addition, starting from 10 a.m. on Dec. 21, 2015, a curfew has been imposed in the stated regions [Nusaybin’s Yenituran, Yeşilkent, Mor Yakup, Zeynelabidin, Kışla, 8 Mart, Gırnavas, Devrim, Selahaddin Eyyubi, İpekyolu and Barış neighborhoods] in order to prevent civilians from getting hurt,” it said.
