Yevig Adrouni, native of Hoghe, born in 1905. Audiotaped on August 13, 1978, by Rouben Adalian.
talking about an Armenian death march;
"Along the way they did not allow us to drink water. The river was there. it flowed. A girl, she was 13, 14 perhaps ....
We suddenly saw that caravan was stopped there in the field. That girl came, her face scratched, bloodied, all her clothes were torn.
Her mother had sent her secretly in order to fetch water. There were Kurdish boys...
all the things they had done to the poor girl.
The Turkish guards caught her mother. They asked:
"Who is her mother, let her come forward."
A woman moved her lips. The guards said "This is her mother."
The child was in her lap. They seized the woman and in front of our eyes they shot her [daughter] dead, saying: "Because you did not have the right. We had forbidden you to send anyone to the river."
