                  Archag's and Marie's father was killed in the wartime. The mother was deported with her little ones.

                  On the road a Kourd took her and her children and she was forced to marry him.

                  The poor mother always told her children that they were Armenians and Christians.

                  Unfortunately the mother died after some years and Archag and Marie were very sorry.

                  In the neighbouring village were living some Armenians, those helped the children to flee and they reached Bab. There they were put in an Auto and sent on to our home in Aleppo.           

 

We found their aunt in Aleppo, and the children went there.

 

 

Left our care: November 15, 1925. Relatives.
