Hagop was exiled with his parents and one sister. Near Surudj he lost them and remained all alone in the caravan. A Turk countryman saw him and took back to his native country. There, being protected by that man Hagop grew up and remained eleven years with him. Once an Armenian girl, enslaved by the Turks too, told him that his mother was in Aleppo, Hagop did not hesitate and fled to Arabpounar from where by our agent he was sent to our rescue-home.

Left our care: November 30, 1926. Relatives. Mother in Aleppo.
