Perouz may have been but four years old in the time of deportation, therefore she does not remember anything about her parents or her birthplace. She has always stayed among the Turks in Diarbekir by a family named Emin Bey. Last year she was forced to marry a son of Emin Bey. One day she said: I do not understand that you married me to my brother? Emin Bey then told her that she was an Armenian and that he had taken her out of a caravan many years ago. Perouz resolved to flee and a chance soon offered itself. Newly Emin Bey went to Aleppo with his whole family to celebrate a feast. Perouz succeeded in shipping out of the house and reaching an Armenian family, who advised her to go to our home. She is happy to be in a safe harbour.

Left our care: September 26, 1927. Relatives, uncle in Aleppo.
