Testimony of survivor Satenik Parunakian on the massacre at the
village of Kharakonis of Archak in Van district of Van Province
[1916] Baku
There were no men among us. There were examining us and if they found
a man they would take him away and kill him. They didn't spare even
children; they would immediately kill any male child they found.
Our boys had forelocks so they were looking at their heads and if
someone had a forelock, they would immediately take them away from
us and kill them. So we started to tear off the children's forelocks
with our teeth as we had no scissors.
They checked my children's heads several times but fortunately didn't
notice anything, so they were saved. We stayed at the priest's house
for several days.
We had no bread, no other food. We were taking water from a well and
feeding children with it. Many children died there of hunger.
