            In the beginning of the deportation his father was killed. He was exiled with his mother and two little brothers to Malatia. After a short rest, he has been separated from his relatives and put in prison. His mother and brothers have been sent further on.

            In the prison he met many boys of his age as he understood from them, the Turkish government was intended to throw all of them in the Euphrates.

            Boghos fled at night from the window and went to Hadji Mamon. He succeeded in entering in a Kourdish house where he lived two years as a servant. He was ill-treated and fled from there to Harpoot. There also he worked for a Kourd as a farmer. He lived five years with the Kourd.

            When Armenians were emigrating to Aleppo, he joined a party and came to Aleppo. We received him on May 5.

 

 

His uncle is in America.

Found relatives here in Aleppo.
