    Testimony of survivor Yalduz Yeghiazarian on the massacre at the
    village of Gyuzak of Berkri district of Van province

    [1916]
    Baku

    In April 1915, the day when Amar bey killed the men of our village, 6
    soldiers broke into our house and found my son Tigran in the hiding
    place and took him away.

    I followed them crying. Soldier demanded gun from my son. My son
    showed the place where he hid the gun and said to me: "Mother, for
    God's sake, take out the gun and give it to them so that they don't
    kill me." I gave the gun to the soldier. At that moment two others
    caught my brother-in-law and brought him to us.

    They wanted to kill my son. I started crying and one of the soldiers
    demanded money to save my son's life. I gave him all the money that I
    had with me and after taking it the soldier shot and killed my son. My
    son fell down floundering, uttered a sound and breathed his last.

    While I was sitting next to my son, they killed my brother-in-law. My
    husband had fled to the mountains with 3 of his friends, but soldiers
    searched the mountain, found and killed him too.
