An Arab took her to his village after a rest of a few days the Turkish government was collecting all Armenian children and so she came to Urfa. She lived for two years in a Turkish house and fled from there to Besni with the intention to go to her native town, she could not succeed but went again to a Turkish family where she lived five years as a maid-servant.
