An elder sister who is still among the Arabs has told him about his parents. His father was killed, his mother deported with her two children, Hovhannes and his sister. The mother died on the road and an Arab took the two small children to his house. The Arab's wife was very kind to the little ones. When Hovhannes grew up, he was longing to join his own people. So he went to Aleppo where we found his aunt with whom he is living.
