main road leading from Cizre towards
the big regional city of DiyarbakIr stands
a line of shattered restaurants, petrol stations,
shops and burned-out trucks.

glass and bulletholes, Said soldiers destroyed
their businesses in late 'August in
retaliation for a PKK attack on a nearby
military base. "If human rights come to
this region, perhaps ~ne. day I will reopen,
but maybe I WIll Just moveout,."
said a restaurant owner. He said soldiers
had visited his village, Kocapmar, and
threatened to bum houses unless the men
became village guards. Kurds make up
an estimated one-fifth of Turkey's 60
million ~eople, but are not recognized as
an ethniC minority. Turkey says they
have the same rights as any other citIzens.
Kurds in the east and southeast
complain more about the tactics of the
security forces than about the continued .
ban on Kurdish-language education, radio
and television.
"There is no right tolife in this region
any more," said Ali Dinçer, chairman of
the Cizre branch of the Human Rights
Association.
"I can't say dearly what people want,
but in general, if they have a choice between
life and death, they will choose
life and they will take up guns to fight
for it."
