Her husband was killed in the beginning of the deportation. Altoon was exiled. After a march of three hours a Turk from Paloo reached the caravan of deportation and took her back to Paloo. A few days afterwards he married her and so Altoon lived seven years with the Turk.

            A known girl was also married with a Turk in her neighbourhood. This girl had a brother in America and he sent her money from time to time. This girl promised Altoon to help her to escape.
