            Hovhannes is the child of an Armenian woman, who was exiled with her parents from Urfa to Mardin. Among the Kurds she married an Armenian and gained the child from him. One day an Armenian Catholic priest persuaded both of them and sent them to Aleppo. There relatives were very poor, so that we were obliged to support Hovhannes in our home.
