Minas's father was deported separately and the family believed that he was dead. Later Minas came on the road with his mother. They reached Deir-el-Zor and some time afterwards were driven into the desert to be killed by the Tchetchens. In this way Minas' mother disappeared. He went alone with the caravan until Ras-el-Ain. There he met his father. Later they were deported again. In the Khabur-region, they were detained to die from starvation. To save his child from this fate, the father gave him to an Arab. With him Minas stayed ever since, but he did not want finally to become a Muslim. So he made his way to Hassitshe and from there he was sent to us.
