After the war began in 1914 and Armenian soldiers were conscripted, in May 1915 came the news that the schools had to be shut and that the city’s notables and teachers were going to be sent away to camps.… I was scared and didn’t want to leave home. After these convoys were taken away, rumors started spreading that the people who’d been deported earlier had already been killed. And through a cable we learned that out of all the deported people from Erzincan, only one man was still alive: Martirossian.

In early June the order came that the people of Erzincan had to be ready to leave. We were also told that all our money and valuables could be handed over to the authorities for safekeeping. Three days later, early in the morning the residents were taken out of the city.… After the order came that the people had to leave the city, they were mustered and herded together outside. The line of people then moved forward in caravans and convoys.
