Political Party

Garabed was in some form or another a member of the Armenian Political Party Hnchakian also called Hunchak. Almost everyone at Musa Dagh was a member of this party. He was asked to go and protect/look after/administer by Hnchakian a property/convent and/or a church in the town of Cis. This appears to be the reason why he took his family from Musa Dagh. I am yet to determine the year.
