In the beginning of the general war Krikor, with his parents, one sister and one brother were deported to Souver in the neighbourhood of Hassitshe. There his brother fell ill and died. His father and sister were sent to Khabur where both of them died. He himself remained all alone among the Arabs because his mother was taken by an Arab too. Krikor also came into the possession of an Arab and remained many years with him, but he had not forgotten his nationality and always looked out for a chance to flee from the Arab. One day an Armenian had gone on business to the same village and met Krikor there. He advised him to go to an orphanage in Aleppo and promised to help him in this way if he wanted to come. Krikor agreed and came with him to Hassitshe from where by our agent he was sent to us.
