"They attacked the area where Karci family resides. They especially targeted the house of Aydın Karci. There were a mother and her 7 children home at that moment. They set the house on fire."

Ihsan Karci noted that he himself rescued two children from the fire.

Another resident Asaf Karci said that there were 17 security guards in the villages at the time and that 12 of them had to resign as a result of PKK repression.
