The life of a 46-year-old Greek Cypriot man was saved by a young Turkish Cypriot woman, Saziyeh Azimkar, due to her knowledge of first aid. While he was in a shopping center in Egomi, the 46-year-old man had a heart attack and thanks to the timely intervention of the young woman, he was able to recover and was picked up by the ambulance.
In a report by Yeni Duzen, the young woman said she was very happy to have offered First Aid to the man when he lost consciousness in a shopping center and revived him, thanks to her knowledge of first aid.
Meanwhile, via her personal social media account, the head of the ambulance service, Riana Constantinou, thanked Azimkar for saving the life of “a 46-year-old dad” and invited her to contact the ambulance service to thank her. “Citizens like you make us proud,” Constantinou wrote of Azimkar.
Azimkar said she contacted the ambulance service manager, who told her that if it wasn’t for her, the man would not be alive right now.
Azimkar further told Yeni Duzen that a man is a man and every soul is a soul. “We are all one, so helping this family makes me very happy.”
She also explained that while she was in a shopping center in Egomi with her son, she saw that outside a group of people were standing over a man lying on the ground. “I have special gloves that I always keep in my bag, so I started to take them off. I told them that I had a certificate, that I knew first aid, and could help them. As soon as I said that they told me to come, right away. Immediately I started CPR on him.”
