Description:Gabro tells us that he being picked on in the army due to his Christian religion. He explains that are letters were screened, and as he used to write in Turoyo but using the Turkish alphabet, this was a reason for him not to progress in army as he was seen as a threat. However, he was never beaten up due to his religion, unlike stories he had heard from his fellow Christians in the army. He explains that many Christians would never return from the army as they would be killed there due to their religion.
