Nerses and his brother (No. 1165) were exiled with their mother and one sister as far as the village Berki on the banks of Euphrates. Their father was killed by the Turks in his native country. As they reached the above mentioned village a Turkish carriage-driver took their mother and sister away promising them to take back to their native country, but soon afterwards he sold the mother to the Kurds and her daughter he took for himself. Nerses and his brother were taken by a Kurd to his house, where they had to work many years for him in the village Gerdeg near Urfa.
