Correspondent: Turkey - in the Interests of the State

on BBC Two England

In November 1996 a senior police officer, an MP with a private army and a right-wing fugitive were killed in a car crash near the town of Susurluk, Turkey. In the boot of the car were automatic guns equipped with silencers. This, claim critics of the Turkish government, was proof that the state itself was involved in a war of attrition in which thousands - particularly those in the Kurdish regions - lost their lives. Reporter Julie Flint asks if the state can, or will, investigate itself.
