During the deportation his father was killed. When his mother was going to be deported, she gave her son to a Turk, in order to save his life.

                  He remained 11 years with the Turk doing the duty of a shepherd. When he heard about our rescue-house in Aleppo, he desired to become an Armenian again. He fled, and after a troublesome journey, he reached to Arab-Pounar, from where by our agent he was sent to our reception-house.

 

 

Left our care: June 8, 1926. Relatives, mother.
