Martyrdom suited her well."

HER LITTLE GIRL HAS OVERCOME LEUKEMIA

In the terrorist attack carried out yesterday against TUSAŞ, mechanical engineer Zahide Güçlü Ekici was martyred while she was at the checkpoint to receive the flower sent by her husband Yalçın Ekici for their 14th wedding anniversary. It was learned that Zahide Güçlü Ekici, a graduate of Balıkesir University Mechanical Engineering Department, actively participated in the production of the GÖKBEY general-purpose helicopter developed with domestic and national resources at TUSAŞ. It was also learned that Ekici, who worked on many other projects at TUSAŞ, provided great support to her daughter, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2021 and is now 8 years old, and helped cancer patients during that process.

THE BOOTS SHE WORE DURING THE ATTACK WERE PLACED AT THE ENTRANCE OF HER HOME

A condolence area was set up in front of the building where Zahide Güçlü Ekici lived. The boots that Ekici was wearing during the attack were placed at the entrance of the building, which had a Turkish flag hanging. The Ekici family received condolences in front of the building. A colleague who offered condolences to Ekici's family said, "She was serving as a lead engineer. She told us in the morning that it was their wedding anniversary. She was dressed beautifully, wearing a dress and high heels. When the news came that 'her husband sent flowers,' she ordered water from all of us. Her daughter was diagnosed with cancer in 2021. But she had recovered; it was a long treatment process. During that time, she came in for half a day. Then she returned to full time. She was helping children with cancer. Her husband used to work at TUSAŞ, and now he works as an engineer at a private company. If she had been 5 minutes late, maybe this wouldn't have happened. When the incident occurred, everyone was trying to get news from each other. Only Zahide was missing. At first, her phone was ringing, but she didn't answer. Then we must have hung up the phone after calling her repeatedly; the battery was dead. Zahide was a very successful and strong woman. We worked together on many projects. She was involved in the production of the GÖKBEY helicopter," he said.

“SHE LEARNED ABOUT HER MOTHER'S DEATH WITH THE HELP OF A PSYCHOLOGIST”

Zahide Güçlü Ekici's brother Hamit Kurtuluş Güçlü also stated, "She was an angel-like person. She was very helpful. Her daughter fought leukemia, and now the process is being monitored. She learned about her mother's death with the help of a psychologist. She was an angel, a philanthropist, and a helpful person. She would help everyone she knew or didn't know and tried to do everything she could. She was very attached to her country and loved it very much. Martyrdom suited her well. She was proud of the work she did," he said.
