SPECIAL PROJECT. SURVIVORS OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. MISAK AGHBALYAN ON DEPORTATION OF KARIN POPULATION
Aysor.am is launching the third series of project "Armenian Genocide:
Breaking the Silence." Under the headline "Survivors" we will regularly
present the testimonies of survivors of the 1915 Armenian massacres
in the Ottoman Turkey. We present the first eyewitness testimony from
the series.
On May 23 the government told 165 Armenian households to move to
Mosul. The 165 Armenian households informed the Primacy about the
government's plan and were included in a list. On June 3, 25-30
households of them leased 200 horses and moved to Kharberd along
Kghi road.
The rest of those 165 households on June 6 traveled in carts to
Yerznka through Bayburd route. On June 8 the Government again told
500 households to leave the city within 8 days.
On June 15, 500 households went to Yerznka via Bayburd route. On June
20, artisans (1259 households) were offered to migrate. On June 25
they also left Karin via Bayburd route. Only 100 houses - widowed
women and orphaned children remained in the city, but they too were
told to leave on July 8. They were deported in 8 days.
Bishop Smbat was ordered to move to Yerznka on July 15. Armenian
doctors and surgeons had to migrate on July 16. Only 10 households
of artisans were left in the city. The belfry was pulled down on
December 2.
The project was prepared with the assistance of the Information and
Analytical Center of the Armenian Government Staff.
