Her husband was a soldier in the Turkish army, when the deportation took place, but it did not save his wife from being deported with her mother, sister and their country-people. The caravan reached Kemakh. There they rested some day. One day her husband arrived with many other Armenians. How happy Satenig was, but alas! Her joy did not last long. The next day all the men were taken aside and murdered. The poor women and children were then exposed to the illtreatment of the rude gendarms, who pushed them forward in the direction of Mardin. Often the caravan was attacked by Arabs and Kurds, who robbed, killed and dragged women and children along with them. One day a Kurd took Satenig. She was forced to marry and live with that man twelve years. She got five children. Four of them died and with the youngest, the little dauther, she one day fled and reached Hassitshe, from there she was sent on to our house in Aleppo.

Left to join her relatives in Persia, May 19, 1928. Married in Persia.
