            This boy remembers nothing about his parents and his native town. He gives up in the house of a Turk named Ali-Osman who told him that he was deported being an Armenian. Five years after the deportation he was sent together with several other Armenian to the court of Diarbekir. On their way they fled but they were wounded by the Turkish gendarms. They could, however, hide themselves in the hay fields. Together with No. 1461 they fled to a village named Zielly. A Turk took them to his house and took care of them until they were healed. Afterwards they had to work for him as his shepherds. Later they met Babo and all three came out of Turkey together. However, his information and his story is analoguous to that of No. 1422. In fact, comparing the two, one can immediately see that they are brothers. Both from the same town and with about the same story. We are very glad that the two brothers met each other in our house.


Left for Beirut, July 20, 1928. Selfsupporting.
