Human Rights Foundation of Turkey (TÝHV) Executive Board member Coþkun Üsterci has presented a report on murders by unknown people to the Subcommittee of Human Rights of Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). The report states between 1990 and 2011 there have been 1901 murders by unknown people certified but warned a realistic estimate would be six to seven thousand. Üsterci underlined that human rights violations increased between 1990 and 1994.

Üsterci said "When we ask why human rights violations increased in these years, we are faced with the reality of the Kurdish issue. Serious rights violations occurred as the state adopted paramilitary and war methods."

Üsterci demanded to lift the time limitation rule form crimes violating the right to live and added that case files dating from 1992-1993 would be condemned to remain unsolved unless immediately investigated.
