He and his mother were deported to Dersim. Both remained five years there living in a Kurdish house. His mother was doing the work of a maid-servant there.
His mother fled several times with him hoping to pass the frontier, but the Kurd followed them and caught Ardash and brought him back to the village, of course his mother was also obliged to return.
Some times later they fled once more and succeeded this time in reaching Harpoot. There they met some companions and they started all together for Aleppo.
Ardash was received by us because his mother is unable to support herself with the child.
Ardash is living with his mother and both are supported by their relatives in America.
Left our care: February 28, 1924. Relatives.
