Abstract
Before we left Tuzla [small town close to Istanbul with a military school and camp], we were warned about the bus companies whose buses were regularly stopped and searched by the PKK. So we were asked to avoid those companies. I remembered this after I had already made reservations with one of those companies. When I went to the bus station, I tried buying my ticket from another company, not the one I had reservations with. They realized this and came to me asking why I was not buying my ticket from them, reminding me of my reservation. And they beat me up. See, even before going to military service, I was beaten up.
