While his father was serving in the Turkish army, Hrant was deported with his mother and two brothers to Malatia. The mother could not stand all the fatigues of the deportation, she became ill and died on the road. A Turk from Sivas took his two brothers with him to his town. Hrant was taken by a Kurd to a Kurdish village where he remained all this time cultivating the fields of his Kurdish master. Lately a muleteer told him about our Rescue work and our Reception house and even proposed him to take him to us. Hrant was only too glad to come out of the darkeness. He fled and followed the muleteer who brought him straight on to us.
