                  Avedis was exiled with his parents in the direction of Deir-el-Zor. There they stayed some days, were then driven towards Mosul.

                  On the road Kourds and Arabs attacked the caravan. Avedis parents were killed and an Arab took him away and brought him to his house.

                  That Arab was a rather rich man and treated Avedis as a son.

                  Avedis grew up and was longing to be among his own people, so one day he fled and reached Hassitsche. From there our agent sent him on to us.

 

 

Went to his sister in Beyrut.

 

Left our care: September 27, 1925. Sister in Beirut.
