Khosrov was exiled with his parents
and relatives to Ras-el-Ain. There the caravan was conducted to the top of a
hill, where the people had to remain for many days under the burning sun-burn
without food and without water. Many of them died of hunger and many were
choked with thirst. Khosrov's mother, accompanied with her children, attempted
to cross the zone secretly, but the poor woman fell down by a gendarm's bullet
while the child was brought back and was given to an Arab with whom he lived
many years and grew up as a shepherd. But he did not forget at all his nation
and one day he fled to our agent in Hassitshe whence he was sent to us.
