Softa, whose father died while he was in the military, returned to his village. Softa, who got engaged in the following years, practically gave up on life when the engagement was broken off. When his other 5 siblings got married and started their own lives, he was left all alone. Softa decided to move away from the village 30 years ago, built a small hut for himself in the forest and started living there alone. The old man, who planted vegetables and legumes around his small hut, lives a life far from technology. With no retirement salary and no one to look after him, Softa, at the age of 75, is struggling to survive. The old man, who only leaves his hut on Fridays to go to Friday prayers and walks 2 hours to the nearest village, gets his bread for a week from there. Since he has never married and has no children, the old man has no one to look after him. The old man, who dries the legumes and vegetables he plants in the summer and eats them in the winter, also makes his own food. The old man's only income is the poverty pension provided by the state. With this, he gets bread and basic food needs. He prepares his own winter firewood in the summer. Ahmet Softa, who has never married and has no one to look after him, has been living alone in the mountains for 30 years, said, "I could never get married because I could not find a wife. I got engaged once and broke up with her. Living in the mountains is hard, but I have nothing else to do. I have siblings, but they are of no use to me. I have been living alone in my hut for 30 years. I cultivate the area around my hut and plant vegetables and legumes here. Only on Fridays, I walk 2 hours to the nearest village, pray and get my bread for a week." The headman of Düğüncüler village, Abdullah Kaya, said, “Our uncle Ahmet has been living here alone for years. The village we are in is on the border of Bursa and Balıkesir. He has never married. He has to live like this because he has no one. He never sits idle. He prepares his own winter firewood in the summer. It would be better if our uncle was helped. We wanted to build him a house in the village, but he did not accept. He said he would be more comfortable here. The area we are in is 115 kilometers from Bursa city center and 25 kilometers from Büyükorhan district.” #news #agenda #breakingnews #news ================================= Ihlas News Agency Official Website ► http://www.iha.com.tr Ihlas News Agency Social Media Addresses ► / iha.com.tr ► / ihacomtr ► / ihacomtr ► https://plus.google.com/+ihatr_ihacomtr/ About Ihlas News Agency http://www.iha.com.tr/hakkimizda.html To reach Ihlas News Agency ►http://www.iha.com.tr/hakkimizda.html
