Massacre in Turkey
The Başbağlar massacre is the name given to the 5 July 1993 massacre of 33 civilians in the village of Başbağlar, in Erzincan Province during the Kurdish-Turkish conflict. While the attack was originally attributed to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the former Turkish special forces soldier Ayhan Çarkın claimed that the deep state was behind the massacre.
