            His father was a soldier in the Turkish army and disappeared. Abraham was exiled with his mother, brother and an uncle, a priest. The caravan came near Malatia, there his mother gave him to a Turkish woman in order to save his life. The caravan was driven further on and Abraham has heard that all his dear ones were killed. He stayed with that women five years. His work was mostly to gather wood in the forest nearby and bring it to the market for selling it. One day he fled and reached a Kurdish village, where he stayed seven years. In the last rebellion of the Kurds his master was hung. He fled and reached Arabpounar from where our agent sent him on to us.
