Mithat Kilisli and his five-month-old granddaughter Zehra spent two and a half days trapped in the rubble together after Turkey's earthquake before rescuers heard their cries.
Pulled from the wreckage separately, Kilisli faced an agonising three-week wait before being reunited with Zehra, the only other surviving member of his family, who had been taken to a distant hospital.
Kilisli, 69, travelled hundreds of kilometres from their former home in Hatay province to meet her in Ankara. After taking a DNA test to prove their relationship, he took her away with him.
