The natives here included the family of Mela Osman. 56 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000 Mela Osman li vê derê kevn bû. Mela Osman was established here long ago. 57 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Û Mala Hesenê Osmên, ew jî texrîben malek kevn bû.

Our customs and traditions are together... 65 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:47,000 Hetanî miriyê me, tirbê me, nav hev dene, em veşêrin. Even our dead, our graves, are amongst each other, we bury them. 66 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000 Û tefrîqe nav me da tûnne ye. And there is no discrimination amongst us. 67 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000 Yanî urf û adetê me... Meaning our customs and traditions... 68 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Em xas miletê Êzdî...

We are specifically a merciful people, with conscience and mercy... 70 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Insanetî cem me heye. There is humanity in us. 71 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000 Berê, berî şêst-heftê salekî... In the past, sixty or seventy years ago... 72 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,000 Cîranê me giş Îslam bûn, keko. Our neighbors were all Muslims, brother. 73 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Wextê me... ku tiştek serjê kira meselen... When we... if we slaughtered something, for example... 74 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000 Nedixwarin. They wouldn't eat it. 75 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000 Bes bapîrkê me digot, yavrim... But our grandfather used to say, my child... 76 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:47,000 Digot ku çi serjê bikin, çi de'wehê bikin, pa ne cîranê xwin, Îslam kin, bila serjê kin. He said whatever you slaughter, whatever feast you make, since they are your neighbors, they are Muslims, let them slaughter it. 77 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:59,000 Jiboy ku bixwin. Heke bibînin û nexwin, gunekar bibin. Gunî xuy wa stuyê we. So that they can eat. If they see it and don't eat, they will commit a sin. Their sin will be on your neck. 78 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:17,000 Me jiber wînî, me banê dikir, me çav dikir, me banê wan dikir, serjê dikirin, me dida boy ku bixwin yanî. Because of that, we called them, we watched out, we called them to slaughter, and we gave it so they could eat. 79 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Em... miletê rehmin e û insanetî ye û dîmuqratî ne. Rebbê alemin, rebbê alemê ye. We... are a merciful people, with humanity and democracy. The Lord of the worlds is the Lord of the world. 80 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000 Wele berê, berê kevin de berê...
