His father was a soldier in the Turkish army, when he was deported with his mother in the Aintab direction. He and his mother were working three years in different Turkish houses in order to earn their bread.

                  An Armenian took both of them to his village hoping to help them. In the village a Turk took Khatchig to his house. Some years he stayed there till his master was taken to the Turkish army.

                  Khatchig fled to a village and became the servant of the chief there. During 5 years he stayed there, three times he tried to flee, but was caught and brought back.

                  At last he succeeded and reached Djirablous, from where our agent sent him on to us.

 

 Found his father in Damaskus and went to live with him.

 

Left our care: December 13, 1925. Relatives
