A Turkish citizen who was injured in a terror attack in New Zealand died Thursday.
"Unfortunately, we lost our citizen Zekeriya Tuyan, who was seriously injured in the treacherous terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand. I would like to extend my condolences and patience to his family," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu wrote on Twitter.
Tuyan was shot in the chest at Masjid Al Noor and remained in intensive care at Christchurch Hospital.
At least 51 Muslim worshippers were massacred, with as many injured, in a white supremacist terror attack by Australian-born Brenton Harrison Tarrant on two mosques March 15.
