In 2006 Tokat made remarks in an interview with '' Yeni Aktüel '' about ordering grenades to be thrown near the homes of public servants who had moved to the region from western Turkey , in order to " acquaint them with the realities of the region " . No-one was hurt or injured in the attacks . He compared his actions to the 2005 Şemdinli incident then under litigation , in which one person died , saying " They were unskillful and inept in Şemdinli " . The remarks led to an investigation , and he was put on trial for " attempting to erode the feeling of trust for commanders and making statements without authorization " . The military court dropped the charges in October 2006 when it concluded it did not have the appropriate jurisdiction , and that the matter belonged in a civilian court
