In the past, we talked about how to fight terrorism and the mistakes we have made under the name of fighting terrorism in the east of Turkey with PKK..
This is one of the stories came up into light very recently:
Güçlükonak (in Sirnak) incident :
15 December 1995..Pkk declared cease fire (they have declared a ceasefire recently too..that is the part of the reason why we dont here many news from there in these days)..
16 January 1996. 11 people got killed (They were all local militias and ex militias)
(the story in a nut shell: On 15 of January, 5 militias were picked from their houses and were told there is an operation. 6 ex militias were under the custody of the army..They were all put in a minibus and were sent. But the minibus was stopped by some people..They all got killed and burnt in the vehicle!!)
The following day, the army took the foreign journalists to the area and said that ´Pkk broke the cease fire. Here is the proof´ (And the cease fire got broken and the fight started again!!)
Aparantly, the following day, in one of the commisions in EU, the delegates would discuss about how Turkey would reply to Pkk cease fire!! (what a coincident..eh?)
Later on, some of the intellectuals investigated the incident and they were convinced that it was NOT the work of Pkk and sent letters to the authorities about it..
The result?
The intellectuals were taken to the court (because of an article in the panel code: they were demaging the army´s reputation!!)
Now the human rights minister of the time (Adnan Ekmen) is coming out and saying that "it was the army..Not Pkk".
It is the ex minister is saying this!!!!
That is how it was most of the time;
that is why the war kept going on there.. 
That is what Ergenekon case is about!!
