Hayganoush was deported with her husband and her brother in law. From Marash they were sent to Aintab, afterwards to Biredjik and from there along the Euphrates to the Syrian desert, until they reached the region of Khabur. There the men and older boys were separated from the caravan and killed by the Circassians. Hayganoush was sitting near the river days long without eating or drinking anything. She did not like to live after the death of her husband. Any menace could not threaten her.

            An Arab came and wanted to marry her. She refused but could not defend herself against the outrage. She went to the chief of the tribe and asked him to permit to become his servant. Sheikh Dohem accepted the offer and so she stayed twelve years by that man, then she met a young Armenian, who helped her to flee to us. Hayganush often came back in the rescue-home on account of sickness.
