HASANKEYF , Turkey, March 12 (UPI) -- A man who spent 27 years working in the city of Adana , Turkey, said he could not imagine spending his retirement anywhere other than a cave where he was born. Mehmet Tilki, 54 , said the cave , located in the Hasankeyf region of Batman province, has all the modern furnishings he needs -- including electricity and satellite TV -- as well as the feeling of home, the Dogan News Agency reported Wednesday. "Living in a cave is something else. My family visits me from time to time. I am very happy here," Tilki said. Tilki said he passes the time by breeding partridges and freeing them into the wild. "I freed four female partridges just the other day. I also have 10 domesticated partridges in my cave. They are like my children. Waking up to their sound is like a dream," he said. The cave dweller said he also has two dogs that keep his unusual domicile secure. "This cave , which my father left me , is my everything. Whenever I touch the walls I remember my childhood. Reports about this cave being submerged underwater after the dam is built make me unhappy ," he said. The Il?su Dam , which is currently under construction , is expected to eventually submerge much of Hasankeyf.
