ERZURUM, Turkey (AA) - A 16-year-old shepherd in Turkey, who lost both of his arms while trying to save a pigeon, dreams of watching football game of Fenerbahce at a stadium in Istanbul after his recovery.

Ramazan Tasdemir, who belongs to a humble family in Diyadin district in eastern Agri province, was electrocuted when he tried to save a pigeon trapped in a pylon.

The teenager has been receiving treatment at the Training and Research Hospital in eastern Erzurum province.

A big supporter of Fenerbahce, Tasdemir carries yellow and navy blue uniform of the football team with him even at the hospital.

"One of my biggest dreams, when I get well, is to see the match of Fenerbahce at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. I love my team very much," Tasdemir told Anadolu Agency.

Tasdemir said he cannot forget the unfortunate incident he had gone through. "I never regret saving the pigeon, though I lost my arms."

He said he is very pleased that the Ministry of Family and Social Policy will cover prosthetic arm expenses. "I broke my wings, they want to fix them. They will slowly build my arms," he added.

His mother Fatma Tasdemir burst into tears while listening to her son and expressed his gratitude to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Binali Yildirim for their suppot.

"I want nothing but I want my son to have arms," she said.

Mehmet Tasdemir, the shepherd’s father, said the authorities have always supported them. “I just want a job for my son in any state institution after he gets well,” he added.
