The mother of the 39-year-old Greek woman who was injured by the explosion in Istanbul, describes how her daughter experienced those tragic moments
“Immediately after the attack she felt her feet and shoes soaked in blood. He lost a lot of blood. He grabbed her head first to see if she was injured, then her body and she could feel her legs getting wet from the injury.” With these words, Angeliki Depola, mother of the 39-year-old Greek woman who was injured by the explosion that rocked the pedestrian street of Istiklal, in Istanbul, describes to the Athens/Macedonian News Agency how her daughter experienced those tragic moments.
“My child was very lucky. He was miraculously saved. She was very scared, as blood and pus was gushing out from the wound,” she says and is particularly moved, explaining that her daughter was saved by a miracle. “If it wasn’t for this family, which I am really sorry for, that these people lost their lives, my child would not be alive now, he would have been killed. We wouldn’t talk to her right now, you understand how she was saved, it was a miracle. She told me herself,” she emphasizes.
As her daughter described to her, this particular family was just three meters in front of her and it was they, along with another couple, who received the wave of the bombing attack. There were too many people at the scene, some lost their lives, others were injured.
“I want to offer my condolences to these families who lost their loved ones so unfairly,” the 39-year-old’s mother tells APE-MBE and explains that her daughter has already left Istanbul to come to Thessaloniki. “He had paid for a ticket to come on Wednesday, but he’s finally coming by ambulance,” he explains.

“The only thing that interests us is for the Turkish ambulance to cross the border immediately and for my niece to return to Greece. She will be treated in a hospital in Thessaloniki”, says the 39-year-old’s uncle, Panagiotis Depolas. “In Turkey”, he notes, “while she was hospitalized injured, they asked her for money to undergo an operation and stay there, which we were not interested in, as we wanted her to be transferred to Greece from the first moment”.
