The Netherlands Kurdistan Society has just published a detailed report on 
forced evacuations and destructions of villages by Turkish security troops 
during the autumn 1994 operations in Tunceli and western Bingoel:

FORCED EVICTIONS AND DESTRUCTION OF VILLAGES
IN DERSIM (TUNCELI) AND THE WESTERN PART OF BING"OL, 
TURKISH KURDISTAN, SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER 1994
(Amsterdam, Netherlands Kurdistan Society, March 1995.
  68 pp, tables, maps)

The report includes an overview of earlier village evacuations and 
destructions and gives a detailed account of the autumn operations and 
their effects on local society and the natural environment. It contains 
lists and maps of all villages in the affected region, indicating for each 
whether there were forced evictions, whether houses were burned down and 
whether the surrounding forests were set alight during the military 
operations in the region.

The report costs 27.50 Dutch guilders (including postage and handling), and
