            His father was a soldier in the Turkish Army and was sent to Erzeroum to fight against the Russians but he never returned. Manug, with his mother and one brother (No. 1177) were exiled to Urfa. On  the road, upon the banks of the Euphrates his mother died and her dead body was thrown into the river.            When the caravan was passing near the village Sutchan at night, Manug and his brother profiting by the opportunity, hid themselves in a pit while the rest were forced forwards in great hurry. The following day a Kurd met them on the road and took both to the chief of the village, where they had to work eleven years for their master, named Sherif Bey. At last, disgusted with the hard and ill-compensed life, both of them fled to Arab Pounar whence were sent to us.

Went to our colony December 1, 1926.

 

Brother to No. 1177 (Sempard, 18) Married No. 1111. 

1930 Manug is now staying in Aleppo.
