Harutiun's mother died before the war. He was deported with his father, little brother and sister to a Kurdish village named Rouha. His sister and brother were too small to walk all those long distances, they soon became tired. Harutiun was a small boy himself. He could not carry his brother or sister, the father being an elderly man could not either. So they left them on the road, father and son were driven further on. After a long wandering they arrived to Rakka. A Kurd named Hammo Habesh dragged him away from his father. He does not know, what became of him. Harutiun worked till lately without reward in the farm of the Kurd. Newly he fled, because the Kurd wanted him to embrace Islam. He reached Tell-Samen and was by our agent sent on to us.

Left our care: September 20. 1927. Selfsupporting.
