In the draft resolution, paragraph 6, replace the second sentence with the following sentence:

"The breakdown of the peace talks in April 2015 led to increased violence by July 2015, as the battleground shifted from mountains to inhabited areas, with attacks and counter-attacks between the PKK and the Turkish security forces, including months-long round-the-clock curfews imposed since August 2015 in several districts in south-east Turkey in order to conduct security operations."
