Gurdji was deported with her parents to the region of Damascus, where bother father and mother died in a famine. A Kurd from Saliha named Mollah Yussuf took Gurdji to his house and two years later married her. Later he died and another Kurd (Emin Mazbda) took her. Now she was his wife. The poor woman thought that all Armenians were dead. So she had to stay among the Kurds. On the occasion of a visit to Damascus with her husband, she found Armenians and found the church and immediatly she left the Kurd. The church sent her to us. 

The Kurd tried to get her back, but in vain.

Left our care: February 22, 1928. Living with her brother in Aleppo.
