According to a different source, Karen Jeppe's humanitarian organization re-covered 1,792 indiviudals (Kalusdian, Marash or Kermanig, op. cit., p. 781). In 1930, on Jeppe's initiative, the inhabitants of Tel Simen moved further north to Tina, where the more abundant water supply could meet the needs of the villag-ers, whose numbers had grown (Cholakian, op. cit., pp. 128-129). In 1946, about 90% of Tina's inhabitants emigrated to Soviet Armenia (ibid., p. 134).
