　　Among those released are people jailed for killing Hrant Dink, a leading Armenian reporter. Government lawyers say the killers of three religious workers were also released.

　　Human rights groups say most deep state targets were activists fighting for the rights of Turkeys Kurdish minority. They say much of the violence took place during the 1990s. That is when Turkish forces repeatedly clashed with the Kurdish rebel group PKK.

　　This month, Turkish nationalists attacked several offices of the Peoples Democracy Party. The group supports Kurdish rights.

　　Ertugrul Kurkcu is the leader of the Peoples Democracy Party. He believes the deep state organization was involved. He also thinks supporters of the group are responsible for past crimes against the Kurds.

　　He and other observers say the government has released individuals linked to the deep state in an effort to defeat followers of an Islamic clergyman Fetullah Gulen. The religious leader lives in self-imposed exile in the United States. The government accuses his followers of seeking to gain influence in Turkeys judiciary and police.

　　Sinan Ulgen does not believe the government would take such a risky move. Mr. Ulgen is a visiting scholar with Carnegie Europe in Belgium. He blames the releases on the court system.

　　From the standpoint of the government this was also an unwanted development because most of Turkish society is critical about this development. There has been a fundamental shift in the civil military relationship and that will not change.
