أما بالنسبة للزراعة، فزراعة الزيتون كانت متواجدة وذلك لوجود
أشجار يبلغ أعمارها مئات السنين في سرت خوجي.
 
As for agriculture, olive cultivation was present, due to
the presence of trees that are hundreds of years old in Sirt
Khoji.

140
00:15:50,000 --> 00:16:01,000
وبدأت زراعتها بشكل رسمي منذ المئة وعشر عاماً. قبل الزيتون،
كان الأهالي يعتمدون على كروم العنب لمصدر معيشتهم الرئيسي.
 
Its cultivation officially began one hundred and ten years
ago. Before olives, the residents relied on vineyards as
their main source of livelihood.

141
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:10,000
وبالإضافة إلى زراعة الحبوب والأشجار المثمرة، وكانت تزرع في
الوديان كلاً من التين والمشمش والتفاح والفستق.
 
In addition to growing grains and fruit trees, and figs,
apricots, apples, and pistachios were planted in the
valleys.

was a spring in the Tezi Valley.

143
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:36,000
وعلى الوديان التي كانت تجري على مدار السنة لكثرة الأمطار.
وفيما بعد، قاموا بحفر بئر يدوي وهو بئر حاجي على اسم من بادر
بحفره، وهو الجد حاجي شيخو.
 
And from the valleys that used to flow all year round due to
the abundance of rain. Later, they dug a manual well, which
is the Hajji Well, named after the one who initiated its
digging, the grandfather Hajji Sheikho.

144
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Alo û sena, ji war û ji Gundê Xalnêrê ra, wargê me ye, hatin

Xalnêrê, it is our home, you are welcome in peace and
safety, upon our eyes (most welcome), pleasantly.

145
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Gundê Xalnêrê miletekî Kurd e. Û wekî dibêjin ezel da li vî
gundî jiyana xwe dîtine.
 
The village of Xalnêrê is a Kurdish nation. And as they say,
since eternity they have found their life in this village.

00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Û di vê berê da, yanî ma'rûf bî, karê berê li timî... ber
wekî tê bê, ewê xwe, heyatiya xwe, bi rez bî, bi zeytûna bî.
 
And in this past, meaning it was known, the work of the past
always... before, as one says, their things, their life, was
with vineyards, with olives.

147
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Û pez bî. Heyata gunda vî lownî wekî tê bê derbas dikirin.
 
And it was sheep. The life of the villages was passed in
this manner, as one says.

148
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Û ortax, dinya jî hêdî hêdî pêş ket. Milet wekî daket bajêr,
nîçuyî Efrîn, nîçuyî Helebê.
 
And then, the world also slowly advanced. The people, as
they went down to the city, whether they went to Afrin,
whether they went to Aleppo.

149
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Û teknolojiya jî hedî zêde bû wekî tê bê, însan alem tetewur

And technology also slowly increased as one says, humans and
the world develop, naturally.

And it is a village adjacent to Afrin. Our life, the
majority of it passes in Afrin naturally, at the same time.

151
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Sibe radibin, pênc deqe digihîjin şuxlê xwe, û nefsel wext
êvarê tên digihîjin mala xwe.
 
They wake up in the morning, in five minutes they reach
their work, and at the same time in the evening they come
and reach their home.

152
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Heyatiya me wiha derbas dibe, elhemdulîlah ji Xwedê ra.
 
Our life passes like this, praise be to God.

153
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:31,000

Yes. And the people have scattered, naturally, let's say
they are all in Afrin, they are not (all) in Afrin. Some
have gone to Aleppo, some have gone to Damascus.

157
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Yê derketiye Ewropa, Lubnanê... Xalnêrê hane, gundekî kevin

There is a river between us and Afrin. The Afrin River, a
very wet river.

162
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Ane em bang kin, na... deng naçe. Em gî dûrî Efrîn in.
 
If we shout, no... the voice doesn't reach. We are all far
