            Azkanoush came on the road with her parents, two sisters, one brother and thousands of Armenians. The caravan reached Katma. There the poor people were crowded together in a narrow place. Many died, also Azkanoush's father. In Katma an Arab took her by force and brought her to his house. She had never had any news about her relatives. One year stayed with that man then he sold her for 20 Medjidie to a Kurd by name Sjerkhar. After some years he married her. Twelve years she was his slave. One day she met with an Armenian. She then heard that many Armenians were living in Aleppo. She soon after fled with some muleteers and succeeded in passing the frontier.
