Her one sister was married to an Armenian in Mardin and she had gone to visit her sister. Being there Turkey declared war against the allied powers and the Armenian massacres or deportation began. Djelile could not return to her house and was deported with her sister. Near the village Derik the Kurds of the different villages attacked the caravan. Djelile with her sister were taken to Derik, where both of them were married by force to the Kurds. She lived eleven years with her owner then fled to Mardin and was sheltered in a priest's house from where she succeeded in coming to our Hassitshe agent who sent her per auto to us.
