15pp

Reply of the applicant to the observations of the Government of Turkey submitted to the European Commission of Human Rights in the Gülten Aytekin case. The applicant 'submits that the killing of Ali Rıza Aytekin is a clear violation of Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights in that the killing took place after the car had stopped and the soldier fired without cause or justification.' The applicant 'also complains that the manner in which the investigation has been conducted and the extraordinary delays in finalizing it prejudice her right to an effective remedy and constitute a violation of Article 13.' Attached is the statement of Dr. Christopher Milroy, Senior Lecturer in Forensic Pathology, University of Sheffield, providing his analysis of submitted materials and concluding that the idea that the bullet has been fired at a tyre but ricocheted into the car killing the driver and exiting to the front is implausible.
