Testimony of Survivor Gohar Sarian on the Massacres of Trabzon
(extract)
[1916] Tiflis
Many women and girls took poison when the policeman came to their
houses to deport them.
Khachik Aslanian threw himself out of the window and died. Karapet
Mnatsakanian killed himself with a knife. The wife of an Armenian man,
a Bulgarian by origin, cut her neck with a razor. The father of Gurgen
Sargisian set his house alight and burned it, but died under the heels
of the policemen. Gurgen himself was hiding in our house and after 15
days came out in woman's dress but fell into the hands of the police.
Sedrak from Sheyran hid in the ceiling of the house for a month but
was then revealed and surrounded by the policemen. He fought for an
hour but was killed wounding a policeman.
