Hovhannes was deported with his parents and an elder brother that was soon killed by the Kourds. 

                  His father also after some days. Hovhannes and his mother reached Khaboor there the mother got ill and died. 

                  An Arab brought Hovhannes to his tent, where he remained 10 years. He one day heard that many Armenians were living in Aleppo. 

                  He fled and reached Deir-el-Zor from where our agent sent him further on to our rescue-home in Aleppo.
