Aroossiags father was a soldier in the Turkish army. Her poor mother came on the road with her 2 little children, a boy and a girl.    

                  They suffered dreadfully on the road from hunger and thirst. At last they reached Mardin, where an Arab brought them all three to his tent. After a few days he wanted to marry Aroossiag's mother to another Arab. She did not want and fled in the night.  

                  In the daybreak Aroossiag awoke, and when she saw, that her mother was away, she also fled to a Kourdish village, where she stayed for many years.  

                  She never forgot her mother and tried to flee many times. Three times she was caught and brought back to her master.  

                  The fourth time she succeeded and came to us in Aleppo, where she has found her mother.
