Turkey to take 'every legal step' to seek justice for Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, says Erdogan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that he will take "every legal step" to achieve justice for the killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, the Turkish American activist killed last week by Israeli forces while she was protesting illegal Israeli settlement activity in the occupied West Bank.

Those steps could include taking the issue to the International Court of Justice in the Hague. Erdogan said he will ensure Eygi's blood "does not go in vain".
