When the deportation started Hagop's father was a soldier in the Turkish Army. By and by all Armenians were deported and he came in this way to Urfa. There his mother died of fatigue and his brother was lost.  

                  Hagop was taken by an Arab to his house, where he worked 11 years, as a shepherd. As he was always ill-treated there, once he fled to Djarablous and met with our agent, who sent him on to us.

                  He does not know if any of his relatives are alive.

Left our care: October 9,1926. Relatives. Mother in Aleppo
