BATMAN- A member of Parliament from the
Kurdish-based Democracy Party (DEP) claimed on
Friday that a clandestine state force dubbed as the
contra-guerrilla was behind the recent wave of killings
in the troubled Southeast region. .
Van Deputy Remzi Kartal said in a press conference
following a fact-finding mission to this city that
there was "definitely no connection between the Iranian
supported Hezbollah organization" and those
operating in the region under the same name.
Kartal said gunmen attacking Kurdish activists in
the region and using the name Hezbollah were part
of the contra-guerrilla organization and added that he
had no more hope for a solution to the problem.
"Security forces are either directly involved in this
or tolerate it. If neither ofthese, they are incapable of.
preventing the incidents," Kartal said.
He said that the Sü leyman Demirel- Tansu ç iller
àdministration "is very unfortunate" for Turkey and
c1iümed that although both the president and prime
minister were outside the developments, thl: incidents
here were taking place with their knowledge.
Kartal also called on the government to explain certain
material revealed Thursday night during the
porular television program "Arena.". .
Arena" gave proof that alleged Hezbollah activists
were being trained in at least three villages of
Gercü~, Batman, and that all of the camps were
based beside mili~ary stations. ~talso ~evealed a taperecorded

the killers were "being protected by the Army." The
DEP parliamentary delegation on a fact-finding mission
to lookinto unsolved murders returned to Ankara
on Friday. Before leaving Batman, they visited the
place where on Sept. 4 Mardin Deputy Mehmet Sincar
was gunned down. As the delegation laid flowers
on the Site, loudspeak~rs from a nearby shop started
to blast out pro-IslamiC marches . .An Arabic march
calling for I victory for Hezbollah" could be heard
throughout the district.
The police could do nothing but comfort the DEP
deputies and advise them not to respond. This alone
shows how dramatic the situation is.

Commission are currently in Van province
