Abraham's father was a soldier in the Turkish army when the Armenian deportation started. His mother gave him to a Turk in order to save his life and she herself was deported to Adiaman. His sister was married to a Turk and is still living with him.
Abraham lived nine years with the Turk being considered as his shepherd. When Armenians were emigrating, Abraham fled to his uncle's sister in Malatia. She kept him 3 months and sent him afterwards to Aleppo. His sister is still living in Malatia.
Abraham having no relatives here came to us. He is unable to support himself and so we took him in.
His cousins are in America.
