As far as we could understand from his story, he is a native of one of the Zeitoon villages. In the beginning of the war he was deported with his parents to the Aintab district. On their way the Turkish gendarms took his father away. He never returned to the family. Together with his mother, Krikor was interned in a village named "Bedia." A Turk from Aintab took Krikor away from his mother and took him to his city. The mother was sent further on. As Krikor grew up he became the servant of the Turk. Lately, some Turkish boys of his age attacked him in the streets because he was an Armenian. He protected himself and beated even some of them. Soon he was arrested and put in prison. Being an Armenian, he was condemned as a political criminal and sent to Diarbekir to be judged at the Supreme court of Liberty. He was escorted by a Turkish gendarms. He gave them all his money. He was set free and so he came to Syria and later to Aleppo to our Reception-House.
