She was deported with her parents, sister and brother to the region of Tchimishgezek. Her brother died on the road being too small for such long journeys. In a village named Oghzar she lost her parents and her sister and she found herself alone among Turks.

            The chief man of the village took her to his house and kept her two years then he gave her as a present to a Turkish officer living in Mardin. Serma lived three years in the officer's house but she was ill-treated and fled to the priest, asking him to protect her. The priest could not keep her but he sent her at night to our Hassitshe agent. From there she was sent to Der-el-Zor. Our Der-el-Zor agent got a passport for her and sent her to us.

            As far as we know she has no relatives.

Left our care: December 31, 1924 Danish orphanage, Relatives.

                        Placed in "The Friends of Armenia Hostel" April 20, 1928.
