Testimony of survivor Tovmas Poghosian on the massacre of the Armenian
population of Karin
1917 Karin
The next day we were on the road together with the engineer. A wounded
Armenian with his head bandaged approached us and asked for bread. We
asked where he was coming from. He said: "They buried me alive. After
suffering in the grave for three days, I came out."
He was from the group we had buried. We gave him some bread. He went
to the tents of working soldiers. We returned to our tents. The same
wounded guy was sitting there. The soldiers were digging a grave. We
asked who it was for. The wounded guy said: "It is for me. They are
going to bury me." Indeed, they put him into the grave and buried him.
After these events the general deportation from the Karin region and
Derjan started. At that moment, they suggested that those who had a
house and family from those regions should join them and be exiled.
But knowing that they would murder us, we didn't allow the soldiers
from Derjan to go with their families though when they saw them being
driven off, they gave in and wanted to join them.
At that moment the supervisor came and instructed them strictly not
to go, saying that everybody had been killed a little far away. After
hearing that, no one wanted to leave.
