Ömerli, formerly known as Amara, is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Halfeti, Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 545 (2022).[2]
The village is the birthplace of Abdullah Öcalan, the founder of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), who was born there on April 4, 1949. Every year on his birthday thousands of Kurds celebrate his birthday. On April 4, 2009, a group of 3,000 Kurds was marching towards Amara to celebrate Öcalans 60th birthday. The march was interrupted by Turkish authorities resulting in clashes. Two men lost their lives.[3]
