The foreign national who was trying to enter the curfew area in the southeastern Turkish province of Diyarbakır on Saturday is discovered to be an Italian citizen.
The woman previously told police officers that she was a U.K. citizen.
The woman was detained at a checkpoint outside the curfew area while she was attempting to enter the restricted area.
The woman, who was carrying a laptop and a camera, reportedly told security personnel that she wanted to enter to visiting the area.
As the curfew in Diyarbakır's Sur district is in its 26th day, Turkish security forces continue the operation to secure public order and safety in the area.
Sur is about 900 kilometers southeast of Turkish capital Ankara, and about 1,500 kilometers from Istanbul.
Following the recent terror activiies of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants, who dug ditches, planted roadside mines, vandalized public buildings, including hospitals, schools and libraries, and kidnapped children, Turkey launched a wide range “sweeping operation" to purge the area of terrorists.
Clashes between security units and PKK terrorists is reportedly ongoing as civilians are prevented from entering the area.
