The Ministry announced that the remains of Infantry Specialist Sergeant Nurettin Tokyürek, who fell as a martyr during operations in the region on July 7, 2022, have been recovered after a 2-year interval.
The written statement issued by the MSB included the following:
“The precious remains of our heroic comrade-in-arms, Infantry Specialist Sergeant Nurettin Tokyürek, who fell as a martyr on July 7, 2022, within the scope of the Claw-Lock Operation, have been recovered. We wish God’s mercy upon our martyr, and extend our condolences and patience to his grieving family, our Turkish Armed Forces, and our beloved nation.”
