            Her father and uncle fled in the beginning of the war. She never had any news about them. She herself came on the road with her mother, two sisters and one brother. The caravan reached a village Karta near Malatia there her sister was taken away by a Turk. The other died on the road. Three days they stayed in Karta then they were driven further on. After some hours a Turk came and dragged Siranoush away from her mother. The poor girl was brought to a village Zeinab. Nine years she was a slave in the Turk's house, then she was sold to his brother for seven £ and married to him. She became a daugher Lucia No. 1804. After some years the Turk was taken ill and Siranoush did not want to live with him. He was angry and one day he tried to kill her. The scars are still on her throat. Some gendarms saved her. For a time she was very ill when she recovered a little she succeeded in fleeing and reached Adiaman. There Armenians helped her to reach our home. She was operated in her leg in May 1929. Went to our colony in October 1929 and married one of our boys.
