Armenians had been gone a week without Kesab. Bearded men came to our house. Were 10 people. Long hair, tall were poslu. Realized we were afraid “Do not be afraid,” they said. Went into the house, the house was mistaken, “Do you have weapons?” He asked. “What’s our son, nor your husband have, we’re all alone, what weapons do we do?” We said. After they went.
They were talking in Arabic?
No, they spoke Turkish. Just us and our neighbor, an elderly man named Stalin remained in Karaduran. Another bearded man came again. We called Stalin, because this bearded man was speaking in Arabic, did not understand. Stalin said, the man goes to Latakiya tomorrow you will take the side of the Armenians. The next day at 7 am As the man came to take us away. ‘re In the car. I closed the door of the house, I locked my key and then drove the man.
Why did you give the key?

Then brought us to the border with Turkey. Asked the man, “You’re taking us to Turkey? We were going to Latakiya behold “I said. He did not answer. Our goods vehicles, did not treat us badly. After the border crossing us of the great man (Yayladag Governor) took us, took our fingerprints drew our pictures. See our blood pressure and they took our passports, said they would give us back when we return. We signed the paper, and then brought us to Vakıflı.

Yet, because everyone was gone. There was no man to kill. We were, were not mistreated at us. Helped. For example, in our house, but the yeast did not have flour, bread could not do the last few days. When the bearded man, “Do you have food?” He asked. “Ye have food, no bread,” we said. Sent us bread. Turkish bread that was talking.
