During the siege of Urfa his father died of wounds incurred on him during a fight with the Turks of the town. Krikor left his mother and sisters and fled to a village named Garmoudsch. Garmoudsch was an entirely Armenian village. When these people were deported, Krikor also went with them to Sapka, a town in the northern region of the Syrian desert. At night he fled from the camp and reached Rakka early in the morning from there he made his way back to the Urfa region. In "Melik veren" he found a job in a Turkish farm where he worked for his food. Krikor worked almost 13 years in the Turk's farm. When he saw that there was no chance for him to prepare a better future, he fled and went to Arab-Pounar. Our agent met him and sent him by motor car to our institution.

Left our care: November 10, 1927. Relatives, sister Beirut.
