"On the way my father died. Four women came, took him by the feet and hands, carried away and threw him into a pit, which was dug beforehand. I saw it with my own eyes. They also threw into that pit those who were very sick, but were still alive, or they stabbed them with a sword, and threw them into it. Blood flowed everywhere. Is it possible to forget all this? I remember: there were large swarms of locusts flying in the air. They were so hungry that some ate locusts, others ate cow's blood" (Tagouchi Antonian, 1900 Bitlis).
