            Antranig being a little baby was deported with his family. On the road his parents died and a Kourd took him to his family and kept him nine years as his child.

            Kourdish boys of the village told him several times that he is a Giaour which means that he is not believing in God. By and by Antranig understood the meaning of it and it was clear to him that he was an Armenian. However, he also heard about orphanages in Aleppo, and he fled to Hassitshe. An Armenian woman coming to Aleppo found him in Hassitshe and took him with her. The woman was poor and unable to support him so she brought him to our Rescue-Home.

            As far as we know he has no relatives.
