Minister Çiftçi made the following statements about these emotional moments:

You sleep, Zeynep girl, we are here...

Our 8-month-old baby Zeynep, who was stranded due to flood in Sapanca district of Sakarya, was rescued by our teams.

In those difficult moments, there was such a beautiful moment that warmed our hearts...

Our AFAD staff, Murat Ergül, held our baby Zeynep in his arms and gently patted her so that her sleep would not be disturbed.

My daughter Zeynep…

You may never remember what happened today.

But when you grow up, know that they mobilized to protect you before you even knew their name. Those hands that saved you didn't even bother to disturb your sleep. That's how precious you are, my beautiful daughter...

What makes us who we are is this kindness of heart that we do not lose even in the most difficult times.

I wholeheartedly congratulate all our heroes, especially my brother Murat, who rushed to the aid of our citizens, disregarding their own lives, in the most difficult moments of the disaster, and who served with great sacrifice and dedication day and night.

May God Almighty protect all our children from all kinds of disasters. May their luck be prosperous and their lives prosperous.
