After capturing Gharakilisa by the Turkish forces, the Armenian National Council has called on the people to stay in place and do not migrate. Describing the migrants’ plight, the National Council urged the people not to be afraid of the enemy and not to leave their homes anywhere.

“The Turks captured Gharakilisa. The headquarters of the corps was moved to Dilijan. Great migration has started even from Dilijan to New Bayazet province.

The people from Akhta inform that hundreds of thousands of migrants have been accumulated in that area who wander crazy, hungry and thirsty in the mountains. Their situation is terrible. Even, in a lot of places, bloody cases take place among migrants. Right now, there is a lack of bread.

It is clear that there is no place to migrate and the migration is absolutely disastrous.

Know the following. Once the Turks take control of the place, they do not let the people who escaped from that place to return to their former homes any more.

So, the least of the two evils is that the people will not migrate and will stay in their places”.
