Dağlıca (Kurd. Oremar ) is a village and main town of a Bucak in the Yüksekova district of the Turkish province of Hakkâri . Dağlıca is located in Southeastern Anatolia at 1,500 m above sea level, about 52 km southwest of Yüksekova, near the Iraqi border.

The former name of the village was Oramar. This name is possibly of Aramaic origin. The region was the settlement area of Nestorian Christians . The Oramar uprising took place in the region in 1930.

Dağlıca is located in the high mountains. The paths are impassable for three to four months a year. Furthermore, the population suffers from the mining of roads. In 2007 around 60 men earned their living as village guards in the village .

In the Bucak Dağlıca there was and is fierce fighting between security forces and units of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). In 2007 around 150 PKK fighters attacked a border barracks, killing 12 soldiers and kidnapping 8. There were 34 deaths on the part of the PKK. Fighting broke out in 2010 as well.

In 2009 the village had 816 and the entire Bucak 4,303 inhabitants. The hamlets (Turkish mezra ) Akar, Bozkaya, Genişdere, İncirlik, Ortaklar, Üçkardeş and Yerkaya belong to the village.
