            His father was a soldier in the Turkish army when the mother was deported with her four children. A few days later they could come back to their native town. This time they were living in the house of their business partner, whom they knew from before the war. After some years, his mother and two brothers died. Shortly afterwards his sister was married to an Armenian and Ohan was left all alone. He was a small boy. Being afraid that the Kurd would Islamize him, he fled from the house. After a long and tiresome journey he came to a Kurdish village named "Degre." Ahmed Eskin a farmer of this village gave him work for which he could have his food. Ohan accepted and lived two years in the service of the Kurd. The other day an Armenian chauffeur met him far from the village they talked with each other when they recognized each other as Armenians. Ohan went with him to Hassitshe. Through an agency be came to us.
