Digranouhi was exiled with her parents and her brother Mardiros. After a long and troublesome journey afoot the caravan arrived to Hammam. Her father fled and she does not know what became of him. They went further on in the direction of Djezire. Her mother could not stand all those sufferings. One day she said to Digranouhi: "My dear child, I feel that my time is coming, rather go to the Arabs and marry one man than here on the road being exposed to the misuse of many rude gendarms." So she did. An Arab one day brought her to his tent. After a short time he sold her to a Beduin, the son of Hadjim Pasha. Her possessor was a bad person and Digranouhi suffered much under the treatment she got. After twelve years of slavery she fled to our colonies. Her possessor arrived with many armed men and claimed her. Yet in our territory she was safe. Our agent went to Hadjim Pasha and spoke the matter over with him. He said: "Put her into a motor-car and send her to your rescue-house in Aleppo. The poor Armenians have suffered much from us, it is enough." 

Her mother was found in Greece, but Dirkanouhi could not join her.

With the consent of her mother she married No. 1114, May 7, 1928. 1930 Digranouhi's mother came to Aleppo, is now living with her daughter.
