By God, it was... you could say... around '64. 533 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000 انتو بالـ 64 هون صرتو في كوكبة؟ In '64 you became here in Kawkaba? 534 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:38,000 العميرات أخي كلياتها لما أخي هو جمال عبد الناصر قال أخي بدنا نقطع المعز مشان الحرج وما حرج. The 'Amirat tribe, brother, all of them when Jamal Abdel Nasser said we must stop raising goats because of the forests and so on. 535 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,000 قام أخي بيع العالم الحلال إجباري. So he made people sell their livestock forcefully. 536 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000 الأغنام والمعز، أخي بايع، ممنوع بالحرج. Sheep and goats, brother, sell them, it's forbidden in the forest. 537 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,000 قاموا أخي هالعرب، أخي العميرات باعوا أخي، اجوا اشتروا أخي بعفرين.

Or did they remain shepherds? 547 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000 لا ظلوا ساحبين غنم، بس مو هالغنم الكثيرة يعني. No, they continued keeping sheep, but not in large numbers. 548 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:34,000 يعني اللي كان عنده مثلاً 200، 300، 400 راس، صار يحوي له مثلاً 20، 30 راس أخي. I mean, whoever had 200, 300, or 400 heads of sheep, started keeping 20 or 30 heads, brother. 549 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000 نحن ما بنحسن نعيش بلا لبن وبلا جبن، ما بنحسن نعيش. We cannot live without yogurt and without cheese, we can't live. 550 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:46,000 ظلت يعني مشان أخي مونة البيت، وبنعيش أخي من هاللبن ومن هالجبن والحليب. They kept them for the house's pantry, and we live off this yogurt, cheese, and milk. 551 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,000 هلق ضيعتكم كوكبة فيها 150 بيت، كم راس غنم فيها؟ Now, your village Kawkaba has 150 houses, how many heads of sheep are in it? 552 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000 والله هلق كثرنا.

Because we got lands and started planting crops for these sheep to feed them. 554 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000 في شي حوالي الـ 2000 راس. There are around 2000 heads. 555 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:07,000 2000 راس. إذاً بيئة حياتكم مرتبطة بالغنم، ولكن المصدر الدخل الأساسي الكم ايش هو؟ 2000 heads. So the environment of your life is tied to sheep, but what is your primary source of income? 556 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,000 الزراعة، الزيتون والأرض. Agriculture, olives, and the land. 557 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000 طيب عمي أبو محمود، أنا ملاحظ هلق خلفي هيدي قناة المي.

In the direction of... the east. 566 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000 باتجاه عفرين. بالعادي حيواناتكم بيسرحوا هنيك؟ Towards Afrin. Do your animals usually graze there? 567 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:48,000 نحن مرعى، يعني الغنم أخي أيام اللي ما في شي بتنزل عالنهر بتسرح على نهر عفرين. We use it as pasture, I mean on days when there is nothing, the sheep go down to the river and graze by the Afrin River. 568 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000 الله يعطيك العافية، ألف شكر إلك.

And thank God, its production is good and it worked out well. 753 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000 هلق القتة وحبة البركة، هنن بالأصل كنتوا تزرعوهم هون؟ Now, the Armenian cucumber and black seed, did you originally plant them here? 754 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000 ولا هيدا شيء مزروعات وافدة مع المهجرين؟ Or are these crops brought in by the displaced people? 755 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000 لا، أجونا المهجرين جابونا زراعة الفستق، No, the displaced people came and brought us pistachio farming, 756 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000 والعصفر، هذول الزراعات اللي كنا إحنا ما نعرفهم. and safflower. These are crops we didn't know about. 757 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:10,000 بعد ما أجوا إخوتنا المهجرين من ريف حلب، من ريف إدلب، جابولنا زراعات حديثة. After our displaced brothers from the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib arrived, they brought us modern crops. 758 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,000 أما هيدي، أما هيدي كانت.. But this one, this one was... 759 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:17,000 بس هي زراعتنا إحنا أباً عن جد، زراعة القتة والزيتون والمحاصيل. But this is our farming passed down from our ancestors, growing Armenian cucumber, olives, and other crops. 760 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,000 بس زراعة الفستق والعصفر وهذول جابوهن الأخوة المهجرين But growing pistachios, safflower, and such, the displaced brothers brought them. 761 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000 من ريف حلب وهيك.

And it even benefited the olives; the olive trees benefited. 768 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000 يعني 90% من المساحات اللي عندكم عم يزرعوها؟ So 90% of the lands you have are being planted? 769 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000 مزروعة كلها من بين.. من فستق، من حبة بركة، من كل شيء.
