Turkey investigates the killing of Turkish-American activist in West Bank

Turkey has opened an investigation into the death of a Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.

Turkey has opened an investigation into the death of a Turkish-American activist believed to have been shot by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank and will request international arrest warrants, Ankara said on Thursday.

The body of the woman, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, will arrive in Turkey on Friday, the Foreign Ministry said.

Israel has taken responsibility for the death of Eygi, who was killed last Friday while taking part in a protest against Jewish settlement expansion in the West Bank.

The Foreign Ministry said she “was deliberately targeted and killed by Israeli soldiers during a peaceful demonstration in solidarity with Palestinians.”

“We will make every effort to ensure that this crime does not go unpunished,” it said.
