            Aram was exiled with the whole family to Konia, then to Adana until he reached Deir-el-Zor. When they reached there, the governor was not unkind to the Armenians but he was soon replaced by another one, who permitted the Arabs and Tchetchens to attack and rob the people. His sister was killed in one of those attacks, his parents were exiled to Khabur and they were killed. He, himself, leaving his brother in Deir-el-Zor went to an Arab tribe named Djeesh, where he lived eleven years among them as a shepherd. One day being ill-treated he fled to Deir-el-Zor and met with our agent who sent him to us.

1930 he is now better. Aram has a brother in London who sends him money. Left our home

January 1, 1930 and is now living in Basmadian's house. We support him.
