A 2006-born Russian citizen gave birth at Antalya Airport and left her newborn in a toilet designated for people with disabilities. The incident occurred on the evening of October 13.
According to reports, the young woman entered the restroom with a friend before her flight to Moscow. After giving birth, they left the infant in the bathroom and proceeded to passport control. The newborn was discovered just 12 minutes later by a cleaning staff member.
Turkish authorities managed to detain both women before their departure. Fortunately, the health of the newborn is stable, and both the mother and child have been taken to a hospital for further care.
Local officials are investigating the situation, and further details are expected to emerge as the investigation continues.
