Family and Social Services Minister Derya Yanık reunited the newborn together with her mom, Yasemin Begdas, in Adana province, the place the latter receives medical remedy.
The child and the mom had been introduced collectively due to a DNA take a look at that proved the connection. The child’s father and two brothers had been among the many over 50,000 killed within the catastrophe.
“The baby is truly a miracle. The fact that she survived and had no health problems pulled at our heartstrings,” Yanık mentioned.
“‘Mystery’ is now our baby too,” she mentioned, including that the ministry’s help will all the time be together with her.
