Large sections of the city were destroyed in 2016 during clashes between the Turkish army and Kurdish youths, some of whom were allegedly affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The predominantly Kurdish character of Silopi reflects its location in the broader Kurdish-majority region of Şırnak Province. Sociolinguistic research on language demographics in Turkey has identified Silopi's area as among the regions with the highest concentrations of Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish) speakers.
