During the deportation Souren was exiled from Tchorum to Harpoot. After a few days rest he was sent further on to Veranshehir, where he was separated from the caravan and was brought to Derik, near Mardin. There he grew up in an Arab's house serving as a shepherd. One day a countryman of him had come to our rescue-house to look for his losses, by this chance he had heard from our boys about Souren. The man asked and assistance in order to save the boy. We informed Souren by some means and succeeded to transport him to Aleppo.

Left our care: December 12, 1926. Relatives. Uncle in Aleppo.
