This report concerns the plight of the estimated 3 million people forced to flee their homes during a policy of village destruction and evacuation that peaked in severity during the mid-1990s. The European Court of Human Rights has condemned the Turkish Government for violating the rights of villagers in a series of cases brought by KHRP; yet the problem of villagers now wishing to return to their homes bulks large in Turkish domestic politics. The report assesses Turkey's current programmes for return and resettlement of the displaced, the current status of IDPs, and the question of Turkey's accession to the EU. The report was written by KHRP Executive Director Kerim Yildiz with the assistance of Caitlin Hughes. (ISBN No. 1 900 175 65 7) |
