His mother died before the war and his father was killed during the deportation. He and his sister came on the road with his uncle. His uncle gave both of them to a Turk in Veranshehir in order to save them from further sufferings. His sister fell ill and died, while Roupen lived eleven years with the Turks. One day he got information that his uncle was still living in Aleppo. He left the Turk's house and accompanied by some muleteers he reached Biredjik and then to Arabpounar. Our agent took pity upon his wretched appearance and sent him to us.
