Armen does not remember his father. He was deported with his mother. On the road an Arab took possession of him and brought him to a village near Surudj. After a year his possessor died, Armen fled to another village where he stayed eleven years working as a shepherd. Once Armen heard from our agent about our rescue-home. Of course he very much wanted to go to a place where Armenians were living. He had always been longing to join his own nation and now his desire was fulfilled.

Left our care: July 10, 1927. Selfsupporting. Relatives mother in Surudj.
