โI heard a rumble while I was going shopping. I saw
the baby dangling from the balcony. He let go of the balcony despite our
warnings and I caught the baby. Iโm so happy that he survived,โ Yฤฑldฤฑz
told Anadolu Agency.

โWe came back from
the bazaar, where I went together with my two kids. I put the packets I
had inside the house and placed the key inside also. My children went
inside and locked the door on me while I was taking my shoes off. I
wanted Kaan to throw the keys to me. I saw him over the balconyโ marble
and shouted for help,โ she said, as the babyโs father, Aydฤฑn Kurtcuoฤlu,
