Türkiye’s president says it will seek justice in international court for the slain Turkish-American activist

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Monday that Türkiye would seek justice for the slain Turkish-American activist by taking her "brutal" killing to an international court.

"We will take every legal step to ensure that our daughter, Aysenur Ezgi's blood is not left unavenged and we will continue our fight against the state of Israel by applying at the highest level to the International Court of justice in The Hague," Erdoğan said following a Cabinet meeting.

In his televised remarks, the Turkish leader also called on nations of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to meet urgently and present a united stance against what he said were Israeli expansionist policies concerning holy sites in Jerusalem.
