Krikor was exiled with his parents, one brother and two sisters. On reaching Meskene, his father fell ill and died. His two sisters were taken by Arabs. He himself was left on the road, because his mother, exhausted of fatigue and hunger, was unable to carry him on her back. An Arab took the boy into his tent, adopting him as his child. Kirkor lived eleven years there, doing the work of a shepherd. Once, being informed about his origin and about our rescue-home, he left his step-father's tent and reached Deir-el-Zor, where he was sent per auto to us.

Left our care: June 8, 1926. Relatives in Aleppo.
