    Testimony of survivor Ruben Vardanian on the Massacre of the village
    of Goms in Mush district of Mush province

    At the end of Easter 10 to 15 policemen came to our village. They told
    us that the government wanted us all. In the morning, they surrounded
    the village and some of them broke in, gathered everyone, women and
    children and drove them out. They shot those who tried to flee. Two
    people were killed there. After starting off, the policemen killed
    another four people who tried to flee. They also caught a man and
    cut off his head with a sword.

    After walking for some time we were returned back to our village which
    was full of people from other villages. Turks from the town had come
    who selected beautiful women and girls and took them away. Our friend
    Rasul came, selected my mother, my three brothers and me and took us
    to Baghesh to keep in his house. We stayed there for a month. Once
    I went to our village with the Turkish children to look for food and
    goods. All the houses in our village were destroyed; the wooden parts
    were taken away. There were corpses in the church, around it and in
    the yard; the Turks counted 80 corpses of women and children.
