His father was a soldier in the Turkish army, when he was deported with his mother and younger sister to the villages near Mardin.  

                  There a Circassian took Krikor and his mother to his house and kept them one month. He then decided to sell Krikor's mother to a Turk. She did not like and fled in the night and Krikor did not know, but when he awoke in the morning and could not find his mother, he also fled. He came to a Courdish village and remained there 10 years. He always desired to return to his nation and to learn a trade. He fled 2 times, but was caught and brought back to his master. The third time he succeeded and came with two other Armenian boys to Hassitshe. There our agent saw him and sent him immediately to our home in Aleppo.
