National Archives of Armenia Collection of Documents
Testimony of survivor Father Hambardzum Harutyunian on the deportation
and massacre of the population of the village of Varduk in Derjan
district of Karin province
[1916]
Turks learned that I was in the village. The head of police threatened
the Kurd agha who gave me shelter that his house would be burnt if
he didn't hand me over. The same day the Kurd hid me; they searched
the house but couldn't find me. They searched for me several times
but in vain.
Several women and boys found shelter there along with me. They wrote
again to the head of police, and this time he summoned the Kurd who
gave us shelter and threatened that if he searched this time and
found us he would put the whole house to the sword. The Kurd became
desperate and asked us to leave but we refused knowing that leaving
him would mean death for us.
We asked him to let us open a hole from under the stable manger to
the hayloft, which was completely full of straw. We stayed in that
straw for eight days. He was sending food three times a day. Then
the Russian army advanced and we were saved.
