Expressing her gratitude for the close attention of the doctors, Özer said, "We are waiting for our mother, a symbol of kindness who carries the beauty of her father Aşık Veysel's heart and possesses vast love and tolerance, to recover and return to us. We are praying for our mother, who has been cherished by everyone from young to old and who embraced everyone without distinction."
