When the order of deportation came, the whole family was exiled to Deir-el-Zor. His father was killed on the road, his mother died in Deir-el-Zor, brother was lost and his sister was taken by an Arab to his house, thus the tree was saved at the trunk. Haroutun was taken to a neighbouring village but he could not remain longer there, because his master was a bad one. He fled to another Arab tribe, named Shammar, where he lived eleven years in great misery. Once he came to Hassitshe, where he met with our agent and following his advise he came to us.

Left our care: June 8, 1926. Relatives.
