    Testimony of survivor Andranik Muradian on the massacre at the Village
    of Atanants in Gyavash district of Van province

    [1916]

    Baku

    My mother told me that soldiers had come looking for the men, found
    that man in woman's clothes and killed him.

    I thought the danger had passed. But I was sadly mistaken. It was
    night when the soldiers broke in the second time with candles in their
    hands. My mother was taken by surprise and couldn't manage to hide me
    like before. I was terribly scared. But since the first time they had
    thoroughly searched and had taken away all male children older than
    1 year, they didn't suspect that there could be other male children
    left. So they didn't search again. I was saved.

    Then soldiers came for suckling male babies under 1 year of age. I
    saw how they took two such babies from their mothers, put them on the
    floor and with a leg on their legs and holding their head with a hand,
    slaughtered them like sheep.

    They impaled the last baby on the bayonet and went out laughing loudly
    leaving the mothers who had lost their babies wailing.
