After long years of terrorism and violence peace had been restored in practically all of our southeastern provinces thanks to the positive atmosphere created in the past few years.
First it was the military that understood that by using repression and iron-fist tactics all they did was to further alienate the people who are predominantly citizens of Kurdish origin. So the military changed its tactics and started putting more emphasis on human rights and attending to the needs of the local masses. So this was a major factor that contributed to the positive atmosphere created in the region."
