1915 Apr AGBU Kelegian orphanage in a dangerous situation

"April 1915, the AGBU Kelegian orphanage was threatened with arrestments and exile. In April, the director of the Orphanage, Mikael Nathanian and a teacher were arrested, but they were released after eight days. A few days later, Nathanian and his French wife were arrested and taken to Adana and deported to Konia. Until the last days of June 1915, the state of AGBU Kelegian orphanage continued to be uncertain as the government used to conduct searches, seized maps and Shake's picture, and even burned all the books in the library. On June 8, Adana's educational investigator arrived at Diort-Yol and immediately sent the 30 orphans of Kelekian Orphanage to Adana's Orphanage and another 30 orphans to the German Orphanage. He also ordered the other 24 orphans of Kelgian Orphanage to shelter themselves at the nearest family relatives."
