National Archives of Armenia Collection of Documents
Testimony of Survivor Gohar Sarian on the Massacres of Trabzon
(extract)
[1916] Tiflis
On Saturday, 13 June, the authorities posted an announcement giving
us 5 days to get ready to leave for Mesopotamia.
We could not take any belongings with us or sell them. Everybody had
to hand over everything to the authorities with their hands.
Old, sick, widowed and pregnant women could stay but they had to
produce a certificate from the municipality doctor and the head of
the police to stay on that basis.
No Greek or Turkish families could be seen on the streets. They all
went to villages in order not to see this calamity. We, the women,
gathered and with the children went to the governor. They rudely
turned us out.
We applied to the German consul in the summer house, one hour out of
the town. He received us very badly. We begged him but he ruthlessly
turned us out. We applied to the Austrian consul. He welcomed us, wept
und said:"I wish I could be helpful but there is nothing I can do."
