A few days before the whole family was deported to Izoli.
The father was killed at the entrance of his house. After several days of fast
walking they came to the town where already thousands of Armenians were massacred
by the Kurds. However, their destroyers had been kinder to them than to others.
They were living among the Kurds and could even flee a few weeks later. They
went back to their native town. Some Kurdish friends protected them and took
them to their houses whenever danger surrounded them. When Movses was 19 years
old he did not want to serve in the Turkish army. He fled to another city in
Turkey but there they wanted to Islamize him right away. He immediately fled
over the frontier and came to Hassitshe. Our agent sent him directly to Aleppo.
