                  Kasbar’s family, consisted of eight persons came on the road to Malatia. At a little distance from Hekimkhan his parents, three brothres and many other Armenians were killed by the Turks. The remainder of the caravan were sent forward. Kasbar’s one brother fled away (now living in Cairo), the other one fled and reached his native town, where he still lives as a servant in a Turk house.

                  He, himself was taken to a Kürdish family in Malatia, where he remained 12 years as a servant. Being always ill-treated he resolved to escape and he did. Once he offered his help to some muleteers who were coming to the Syrian frontier, they accepted the proposal and took him with them. On reaching Arabpounar our agent helped him to reach our rescue-home.
