            Armenag came on the road with his father, two brothers Boghos and Patig and a sister. The caravan of deportation passed Rakka Deir-el-Zor and further onto Mosul. On the road his father and one brother disappeared. A Kurd dragged away with the other brother. One day a Kurd also took Armenag to his village.

            He had to learn in his early age ploughing and farm work. Twelve years long he stayed with his "owner". Then he began to think about his future, and he asked the Kurd to grant him a small monthly payment. But the Kurd got angry and said: "You Christian dog, you ought to be glad to be alive among us." Armenag than remembered that he was an Armenian, he fled the same night and reached Hassitshe, from there he was immediately sent on to us.
