After this event, the tension was increased. But, in spite of these events the Turks continued to help them. On one day, the pregnant wife of the man who killed my brother went into labour and needed help. But in those days we didn't have a chance to take her to the hospital, because confusion was everywhere. There was only one person who was able to help her; that person was the mother of the man who was killed by the husband of the pregnant woman.
But, in spite of all events, the midwife helped the birth of the child of the Greek family. Because, first of all this was the obligation of my mother's job, and also we never wanted any evil for anybody.
The happiest part of this event for me was when I learned that
they gave my brother's name to their child.
