His father was a soldier in the Turkish army when the deportation started. Nerses was exiled with his mother and one brother. On reaching Roum-Kale, he was taken by a Kurd to his village, named Meghzade while the others went on with the caravan. He remained there serving as the Kurd's shepherd. He was treated as a slave. Nerses could not remain there but he had to flee. Once rising before the sun, he took the straight road leading to Djerablus. On the road he met with an Armenian chauffeur, who judged him rightly to be an Armenian. After the exchange of a few words, the chauffeur persuaded him to go with him. He took Nerses by his side and brought him to us. We are trying to find any of his relatives.
