Because of the increases in the terrorist attacks in this period, Turkish government declared martial law in 22 provinces located in different regions. The annual urban population growth rate of those provinces decreased in this period compared to previous and next population censuses. In 1985-2000 period, terrorist attacks were intensified in the rural areas of Eastern and Southeastern provinces of Turkey. Following the increase of terrorist attacks Turkish government declared state of emergency in 11 Eastern and Southeastern provinces. Because of security problems in rural areas, some villages were evacuated by governmet while some villages were evacuated by local people and their own initiatives.
