    SUBJECT: DIYARBAKIR'S DEHAP MAYOR BURNS BRIDGES WITH CONDOLENCE VISIT
    TO PKK MILITANT'S FAMILY

    ¶1.  (SBU) Summary:  After a nine-day security operation and
    killing of two alleged PKK/Kongra-Gel members reportedly
    involved in a deadly July 28 attack on a Diyarbakir police
    station, greater Diyarbakir Mayor Osman Baydemir (DEHAP) paid a
    condolence visit to the family of one of the alleged PKK
    members.  The Diyarbakir Governor's Office subsequently
    requested an investigation of Baydemir and four local mayors for
    that visit, citing among other things the Mayor's improper use
    of an official vehicle.  In August 11 meetings, DPO relayed to
    Baydemir strong U.S. disapproval of his action, and extended
    condolences on the death of the security guard in the July 28
    attack to Diyarbakir's Deputy Governor and Security Director.
    Several human rights contacts in Diyarbakir privately called
    Baydemir's condolence visit a mistake, and despite their
    optimism about human rights developments in recent years, all
    are concerned about backsliding on the GOT's implementation of
    human rights reforms in the region in the wake of the PKK's June
    2004 abandonment of its ceasefire and the tension it has created
    between the people and security forces in the region.  End
    summary.

    ¶2.  (U) On July 28, a PKK/Kongra-Gel attack against a police
    station in the Mardinkapi neighborhood of Diyarbakir resulted in
    the death of one security guard and the wounding of two other
    security officers.  The Diyarbakir security directorate
    subsequently launched a nine-day operation to apprehend PKK
    militants who had fled the scene and taken refuge in a wooded
    area just outside the city known as Hevsel Gardens.  During the
    operation, citizens living within the area of the dragnet were
    reportedly blocked from leaving, and non-security personnel were
    prevented from entering the area.  According to Turkish
    officials, the operation netted two PKK militants and three
    individuals charged with abetting the PKK.

    The Official View of Events in Mardinkapi
    --------------------------------------------- -------------

    ¶3.  (SBU)  Diyarbakir Deputy Governor told DPO on August 12 that
    the July 28 attack had been perpetrated against a police station
    some 300-400 meters away from a music festival that had been
    organized that evening.  He claimed that the grenades launched
    at the police had come out of the festival.  He confirmed that
    one security officer was killed in the attack and that at least
    three others were wounded (Note:  In addition to two security
    officers, the wounded included the Deputy Mayor of Sur
    Municipality.  End note.)  While outlining the operation on a
    map, he explained to DPO that forces had surrounded a wooded
    area, used thermal cameras in their search for the perpetrators
    of the attack, and arrested two persons the morning following
    the attack.  The brother of one of the militants was also
    arrested and provided information; two others were arrested for
    providing shelter for the militants.  Despite these five
    arrests, two militants involved in the attack had escaped, he
    said, and for nine days the government called for their
    surrender.  A group of forces organized to comb the area came
    upon them and engaged them in a firefight; the two armed PKK
    members were killed, according to the Deputy Governor, and their
    fingerprints supposedly confirmed involvement in the attack on
    the police station.  (Note: there was no additional information
    provided on how this confirmation was made.  End note.)

    ¶4.  (U) On August 9, Turkish dailies reported that Diyarbakir
    Mayor Osman Baydemir (DEHAP) along with mayors of four smaller
    townships had paid a condolence visit to the family of one of
    the PKK members who had fled the attack scene and been killed in
    the operation.  The Diyarbakir Governor's Office responded to
    the visit of Baydemir and the other mayors by requesting an
    investigation of the five DEHAP politicians for their action,
    citing among other things their improper use of official
    vehicles for the visit.  The Interior Ministry has also been
    called upon to investigate the case.

    The Mayor Makes His Case
    ----------------------------------------

    ¶5.  (SBU)  During a trip that had been scheduled before news of
    Baydemir's visit to the PKK member's family had surfaced, DPO
    met with the mayor on August 11 to inform him of our strong
    disapproval of his action, and to reiterate that the U.S.
    considers the PKK a terrorist organization and opposes any
    action that appears to support the PKK, especially this case
    where a security officer was killed.

    ¶6.  (SBU) Baydemir told DPO that he learned about the Mardinkapi
    incident while participating on a television program.  He
    stressed that under normal circumstances he would have been
    attending the festival that had been organized that evening for
    local singers and that it was only the previous TV engagement
    that prevented him from going.  This is significant, he said,
    because five or six minutes before the explosion at the police
    station cars carrying other local mayors had passed by it.
    There was a lot of activity on the road in the vicinity of the
    police checkpoint that evening, and he questioned "who was
    really targeted in that attack."

    ¶7.  (SBU)  After receiving news of the attack, Baydemir claims
    he went to the hospital and visited the wounded security
    officials, expressing his concern.  He stayed for approximately
    one hour, he said, along with other government officials.  He
    claims the family of the guard was there, and he told them he
    shared in their suffering.  He also visited the municipal
    official who had been wounded.  As he exited the hospital, he
    told DPO, members of the press were present and he told them
    while he didn't have all the information about the incident, he
    was against all attacks and did not want blood to be shed.
    (Note:  Press accounts have contradicted his account of the
    guard's family members being present.  End note.)

    ¶8.  (SBU)  Baydemir together with several other local officials
    had plans to travel the following day (July 29) to Tunceli for a
    cultural festival.  The night of July 28 he asked government
    officials if he should stay out at the hospital and in
    Diyarbakir out of courtesy, and they responded that there was no
    need to stay.  He went to Tunceli as planned the following day
    and upon his return two days later he found "great tension,"
    especially at the area of the operation.  Baydemir stated that
    he received numerous complaints from citizens inside the area
    affected by the operation about such things as food shortages,
    health problems, and the effect the operation was having upon
    children.  He met with the Diyarbakir Governor in an
    unsuccessful attempt to gain access for himself and NGO
    representatives to the scene of the operation.  "Normally I
    should be getting information about such operations from the
    Security Directorate," he said, underlining that they were
    requesting access to a civilian area.  After being denied access
    by security officials, he claims he spoke with the Minister of
    the Interior, who had been supportive.

    ¶9.  (SBU)  After the operation was concluded and news of the
    "extrajudicial killing" got out, he said, Baydemir expressed his
    condolences in a visit to the PKK member's family and shared
    their grief, asking that this be the final victim.  "It's our
    tradition," he said; "If you don't do such a thing you'll be
    ashamed.  Crime is an individual thing; it does not belong to
    the family."  Baydemir ended his lengthy defense by underlining
    his view that the violence must stop unconditionally.  "I could
    have been killed that night," he pleaded, "how could you think I
    support that?"  He stressed that it is difficult to work on the
    underlying problems of poverty and unemployment in a poor
    security environment.  Turkey has shown its preference for the
    EU, he said, and substantial development is taking place in
    democracy.

    ¶11.  (SBU)  DPO relayed to Baydemir that:  the U.S. government
    considers the PKK a terrorist organization and PKK members
    terrorists; the EU has also listed the PKK as a terrorist
    organization; and that terror is not a legitimate way to work
    for political, social, economic or cultural rights.  DPO
    informed Baydemir that we oppose any action that even appears to
    support the PKK, especially in the killing of a security
    officer.  Regardless of his intentions, his visit gave that
    appearance, DPO continued, adding that such actions foster
    anger, suspicion and tension, not reconciliation.  Baydemir
    maintained until the end of the meeting that he was "at peace
    with his conscience."

    Security Director:  "All Diyarbakir NGOs tied to PKK"
    --------------------------------------------- --------------
    -----------------

    ¶12.  (SBU) Hours after meeting Mayor Baydemir, DPO called on
    Diyarbakir Security Director Orhan Okur and presented a wreath
    and condolences on the loss of a member of the security
    personnel in the July 28 attack.  DPO reiterated the USG
    position that the PKK is a terrorist organization and told Okur
    of the call on Baydemir, adding that the visit had been used to
    convey a message of strong disapproval for Baydemir's action.

    ¶13.  (SBU)  Rather than dwelling on the Mardinkapi incident and
    the Mayor's controversial visit, Okur - using European Court of
    Human Rights publications and internet postings by human rights
    groups as visual aids - proceeded to lecture DPO about the
    misinformation campaign being waged by NGOs against the
    government.  "We know Article 17 very well," he said, "It
    prohibits us from violating and limiting rights - don't worry
    about our taking care of human rights."  But all NGOs in town
    have ties with the PKK, he argued, and he produced two examples
    where NGO reports alleging misdeeds by security forces were
    eventually proved wrong.  Such reports help the PKK and their
    recruitment efforts he said, and are not results of a lack of
    professionalism, but the product of ill-intentioned individuals.

    ¶14.  (SBU)  Comment:  With this visit, Baydemir overstepped the
    parameters of GOT tolerance for pro-Kurdish activities in the
    Southeast, which have expanded in the past two years.  Even
    contacts at both Diyarbakir's activist pro-Kurdish Bar
    Association and in local private business agreed, and said they
    had told the Mayor as much.  Baydemir's actions have dimmed any
    potentially positive effect that he might have been able to have
    as a bridge between the Kurdish community and government
    officials, especially given attitudes such as that displayed by
    Security Director Okur and shared by many other officials.

    ¶15.   (SBU)  Comment, cont'd:  Regardless of whether or not the
    charges against him move forward, the press seems intent on
    keeping this issue alive and Baydemir has given them ample fuel
    for the fire. August 16 media reports point to a June 2004
    incident in which Baydemir allegedly dispatched a municipal
    ambulance to retrieve the corpse of a PKK militant after his May
    28 shooting and subsequent death in Adana, bringing the body
    back to Diyarbakir for the burial ceremony.  Such acts, even
    without the use of official vehicles, at best show poor judgment
    and at worst provide comfort and support to a terrorist
    organization.  Contacts ranging from leftist Kurdish human
    rights activists to wealthy local businessmen agreed that the
    past 5 years had felt like "detente" and that the human rights
    situation had improved in very important ways (septel).  All are
    now concerned about backsliding on the GOT's implementation of
    human rights reforms in the region in the wake of the PKK's
    abandonment of its five-year ceasefire and increasing tension
    between the public and security forces about how security forces
    are responding.  In this context Baydemir's apparent indulgence
    of the PKK/Kongra-Gel is all the more ill-conceived and
    potentially inflammatory.  Baydemir's actions are also a
    discouraging reminder that DEHAP and other regional political
    leaders in the Southeast have not yet found the will to break
    with the PKK.
