            His father died before he was born. After his father's death his mother married again. His uncle took care of him until the insurrection of Van. Some of the population of this state were killed, some of them fled to Russia. Alexan was taken to a Kourdish house where he lived until a few days before the Russian occupation of Van.

            Alexan was exiled with his master to Urfa, where they lived 7 years as farmers.  

            When he heard about the orphanages he fled to Jirablous and was sent from there to Aleppo.

            Alexan has no relatives.

 

 

Alexan did not submit himself to the rules of the orphanage so we sent him away.
