Krikor's father, chained with many other Armenians, was put in prison and then killed. He came on the road with his mother, grand-mother, one sister and his aunt. As they reached the village Kuzzi near Tel-Abiad, a Turk named Mohammed Hadji wanted to marry his aunt. They were obliged to accept the proposal but on one condition that Mohammed would protect the whole family. The Turk promised to do it and he brought all of them to his house.

            After three months his aunt and her Turkish husband fell ill and died. The Turk's servant, named Djiman, profiting by the opportunity married Krikor's mother and also kept his master's wife as his second wife.

            Krikor's sister was married too to an Armenian who had embraced Islam. Thus, the whole family were obliged to live in a bad circumstance. When Krikor grew up, he could not endure that improper life and set out for Tel-Abiad, where he was informed about our work and took the straight [road?] to our rescue-home.
