I am from Haydarbey village. We became refugees when the Armenians revolted and the Russians came.

Place of Birth: Van-Ercis-Haydarbey

We moved to Urfa, where my  mother, father, and brothers died of the famine occurred that year. When the  Russians retreated, Armenians took over the place, but the Turkish army  pushed them back to Revan. We returned to our homes, and found Ercis, the Muslim village and our village completely burned down and  demolished.
