Garabed's native country was attacked and after a few months resistance destroyed by the regular troops of the Turkish government. The inhabitants of the town were taken prisoners. Many of them annihilated and many more were sent to perish in the Arabian deserts. Garabed reached as far as Deir-el-Zor region, where he was taken by an Arab to his tent and remained eleven years there. All this times he worked as a shepherd. The Arab illtreated him and so Krikor decided to flee. At night he reached Hassitshe where [he] met with our agent who sent him to us.
