During the self-defense of Aintab in 1920, I was a kid. We tried to help as much as we could. The French were in Cilicia then, as you well know, and they alongside the Armenians were fighting Kemal’s army. The French had sent their Foreign Legionnaires to fight. There were soldiers from Senegal there who used to eat cats. They would shoot the cats and we would find them and bring them back and get bullets in return. We took those bullets to the Armenian fighters.
