Krikor came on the road with his parents, his brother Harutiun, one sister and all his country people. After a long and troublesome journey afoot the caravan reached Deir-el-Zor. There Tchetchens attacked them and a terrible massacre took place. Krikor's parents were killed he himself was dragged by a Tchetchen and brought to his village. After a year his possessor died, and Krikor fled to some Circassians, where he was treated rather well. Yet he never forgot that he was a Christian, an Armenian. As he grew up he could not stand being among the Islams. He fled and reached our rescue-home safely.
