             His father was a soldier in the Turkish army when the deportation started, he was deported with his mother until Rakka. Sisak's mother was unable to support him and so she gave him to an Arab who was supposed to take care of Sisak. After a few days the Arab changed his mind and sold Sisak to another Arab for a handful flour.

            Sisak lived 7 years with his second master. One day he was sent to a mill with wheat, on the road he saw an Armenian who recognized him. He left everything and fled with the other Armenian to Aleppo.

            Sisak's uncle and grandparents are in Russia.
