             Aroosyag's father was a soldier in the Turkish army and he died there. Her mother was deported. Aroorsyag was taken to a known Kourdish family in order to be saved from the horrors of the deportation. A few days after her mother had been sent away with the caravan of deportation, the Turkish government collected all Armenian children and deported them separately.
