Sam Chesneau, a co-founder and director of the Seattle-based American-Muslim organisation Wasat, paid tribute to Aysenur, describing her as an old soul, wise beyond her years, and a truly caring person. He emphasized her profound thinking and tremendous sense of humor, stating, ‘The world mourns her because we all recognize the best potential of ourselves in her.’ Chesneau’s remarks portray Aysenur as a reminder to embrace our beliefs and humanity rather than live in apathy.
Her aunt, Gulay Yeniceoglu, expressed that Aysenur was a very compassionate person who could not turn a blind eye to injustice. This sentiment reflects the essence of Aysenur’s activism and commitment to her beliefs, resonating with her family’s desire for her legacy to include a demand for justice. This need for accountability was further echoed by her family's call for an independent investigation into her tragic killing.
