Aytekin Kuru

Aytekin Kuru was one of 42 Special Operators martyred in Gölbaşı Special Operations Department on the night of July 15. His wife was able to identify Aytekin Kuru, who was killed in the bombing of traitors by FETO, from the ring on her husband’s finger.

Aytekin Kuru, a 21-year police officer who worked at the Anti Smuggling and Organized Crime Department of Police Office of Ankara and was appointed to the Special Operations Department fifteen days before the coup attempt, was martyred in the air attack on the Gölbaşı Special Operations Department on the night of July 15.

Unable to hear from Aytekin Kuru until July 16, his wife and mother went to Ankara on Sunday, July 17. The family, who went to the Ankara Forensic Medicine Morgue in the morning, started to look for Aytekin Kuru.

Ayşe Kuru, the martyr's wife, who was taken to the morgue, noticed the ring he saw in a hand while searching for her husband among the martyrs' funerals. Carefully looking at the ring, Ayşe Kuru had a nervous breakdown saying "This is my husband." While samples were taken from Aytekin Kuru's mother for DNA testing, her funeral was buried in Kozan District of Adana after the procedures were completed.

Father of Rabia Gizem, 14-year-old and Mehmet Gürkan Kuru, 5-year-old, 42-year-old martyr Aytekin Kuru’s name was given to a religious vocational secondary school in his hometown of Adana.
