2
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Berê gundê Meydan Ekbez, li vir îstesyon heye.
 
Before the village of Meydan Ekbez [existed], there is a
station here.

3
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Vira bi Îngîlîzî dibêjin "Station".
 
They call this place "Station" in English.

4
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Di sala hezar û nehsed û yazdehan (1911) da li vir îstesyon
çêbû.
 
The station was built here in the year 1911.

5
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Berê gund tine bû.
 
Before that, the village did not exist.

6
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Lê piştî wê, di sala hezar û nehsed û pazdehan (1915) da...
 
But after that, in the year 1915...

7
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,000
...piştî şerê tirkan, di navbera şerê tirkan û ermeniyan
çêbû...
 
...after the war of the Turks, [the war that] happened
between the Turks and the Armenians...

8
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
...ermeniyan berê xwe dan vira, hatin li vir gundek çêkirin.
 
...the Armenians headed here, they came and built a village
here.

9
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Kurdên me jî li vir hebûn.
 
Our Kurds were here as well.

10
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Piştî îstesyon çêbû, mal ava bûn.
 
After the station was built, houses were constructed.

11
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Lê niha jî çarsed û pêncî (450) mal li vir heye.
 
And currently, there are 450 households here.

12
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Li vir piştî hatin vira, debara xwe bi ticaretê kirin.
 
Here, after they came here, they made their living through
trade.

00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Bi çandiniyê li vir dikin.
 
They engage in agriculture here.

14
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Lê milletê vir jî hemû ji çiyayê Kurmênc hatiye.
 
But the people here have all come from Kurmanc Mountain
(Kurd Dagh).

15
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Ermenî hebûn lê niha ermenî neman, vala bûye ji ermeniyan,
hemû Kurd in.
 
There were Armenians, but now no Armenians remain, it is
empty of Armenians, they are all Kurds.

16
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Li vir gotin Meydan Ekbez.
 
They called this place Meydan Ekbez.

17
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Jiber ku vir vala bû, kes lê tine bû.
 
Because this place was empty, there was no one in it.

18
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Gundê Ekbez jî li Bakurê Kurdistan e, li piş me ye.
 
The village of Ekbez is in Northern Kurdistan (Turkey), it
is behind us.

19
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000

There is also the village of Heyderko here, that is also a
village of Northern Kurdistan.

22
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Lê em vê gundê dawî ye îna.
 
But we... this is the last village here.

23
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Lê ka emê hêna zêde nas bikin, emê derbas bin...
 
But let us get to know it a bit more, we will pass

00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Apê Ehmed em dixwazin hinekî li ser dîroka vê îstasyonê nas
bikin. Di sala 1911an da ev îstasyon li vir çêbûye?
 
Uncle Ehmed, we want to learn a bit about the history of
this station. Was this station built here in the year 1911?

31
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000

It went through Rojava Kurdistan to Aleppo. From Meydan
Ekbaz [border town] to Aleppo.

34
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Piştî wê derê?
 
And after that place?

00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Di sala 1911an da...

Deh sal dirêj kir heta çêbû ev xeta. Deh sal dirêj kir.
 
It took ten years until this line was built. It took ten

Û... paşê... me li vira îstasyon çêbû. Û paşê mehete çêkir,

And... then... the station was built here. And then they
built the station [mahatta], the building, they built our
building. Meaning the passengers' area and such...

39
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Û paşê tirêna me jî qorta... fitilîn dihatin cem me, li

And then our trains would turn... they would turn and come
to us, come to us from Aleppo and go to Aleppo.

00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Me li Tirkî dihatin cem me... şehm, rukab der... Makîna me

machines came here, meaning trains, they came here carrying
this cargo, going to Aleppo.

41
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Bes me dibir ku me di... Rajor a... Qurtqulaq ra û Qitmê ra,
mehete wira dibir, li vira jî diçû Helebê.
 
But we took it... via Rajor... via Qurtqulaq and via Katma,
the station took it there, and from here it went to Aleppo.

42
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:30,000

Aleppo, they are declared with us. These declarations,
meaning the goods, the writing, the commercial [details],
who will take it, going to Aleppo.

00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Cem me şixul noka sekinî ye. Di bo wez'ê noka da em têdane.
Tirên sekinî, hidûd sekinî, tîcaret sekinî.
 
Work has stopped here now. Because of the situation we are
in now. Trains stopped, the border stopped, trade stopped.

72
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Bes ev makînana, çar makîne li cem me bun, tirên, noka me

But these machines, we had four machines here, trains, now
we have taken them to Rajo station. Currently they are there
now.

73
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Na me got ev karê xwe çî ye, em li ser vana...
 
No, we asked what is the function of this, we [want to know]
about these...

00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Hewa navê vê, dibên 'Sînî Dewwar'. Yanî hewa pirî...

This is called 'Siniya Dawwar' [Rotary Tray/Turntable].
Meaning it is a bridge for... turning. It turns, meaning.

75
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Yanî tirênek li Heleb hat ser, rûçikê xwe... ber bi Tirkî
ye, esa em kî rûçikê wî ber bi Helebê bikin, em tînin ser
vê... vira pirê, vira pirê yunkî hêsinî, vira dibên 'Cisr
el-Dewwar'.
 
Meaning if a train came from Aleppo, its face... is towards
Turkey, now if we want to point its face towards Aleppo, we
bring it onto this... this bridge, this bridge is of iron,
here they call it 'Jisr al-Dawwar' [Rotary Bridge].

76
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Ma'nî em... rûj... pêşî makînê bibin terefê Helebê. Ev ye
ma'nî ev pira.
 
Meaning we... fa... turn the front of the machine towards
Aleppo. This is the meaning of this bridge.

77
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Vê bi herru bi kar tînin?

Rûb ro. Hewa rûb ro. Wextê tirên tê, hewa teb'en, tirênê
berê dihatinî cem me, vira digotin Buxarî. Ev tirênê
Buxarî... teb'en, ne bi serî û bi serîk bû.
 
Face to face. It's face to face. When the train comes,
naturally, the trains that used to come to us, they called
them Bukhari [Steam]. These Steam trains... naturally, they
didn't have two heads, they had one head.

79
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Ewa dihatin vira, me difitilandin, me dibir serî, yanî
terefekî dîn. Ma'nî avê dara tişta. Bes paşê... hezar nehsed
nod û vir da, dîzel hatin. Dîzel hatin... hind keneb du serî
bûn, hind keneb serîk bî.
 
They came here, we turned them, we took the head, meaning to
the other side. Meaning for water and things. But later...
from nineteen ninety onwards, diesels came. Diesels came...
some had two heads, some had one head.

80
00:17:45,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Nefsî şî, hewna jî... me çi dikir? Me hewna jî tînan ser vê
hêsinê, vira pirê hêsinî. Me hew jî difitilandin, me, ma'nî
rûçikê xwe biterfê Helebê be. Ma'nî şifêr kêfa xwe bibîne
yanî pêşiya xwe bibîne ma'nî ew nebe.
 
Same thing, those too... what did we do? We brought those
onto this iron too, this iron bridge. We turned them too,
we, meaning its face should be towards Aleppo. Meaning so
the driver can be comfortable, meaning seeing his front, so
it's not [backwards].

81
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Piştî vêna çi karî li vir dikin? Piştî vaye?
 
After this, what work do they do here? After this?

82
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Piştî vaye teb'en... me terê go wextî himûle tê, fergûn
dêtên sa li Tirkî tên vira sa, em tirênê xwe çêdikin. Em
hazirya xwe dikin. Ev tirêna em dişînin qitmê. Ma'nî vo barî
bibin hînê werin.
 
After this, naturally... we see that when cargo [hamula]
comes, wagons come from Turkey here, we make up our train.
We make our preparations. We send these trains to Katma.
Meaning they take this load there and come back.

83
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Binîsbetî işte... Hereke... ma'nî tirênê bibin, bişînin hînê

Regarding, well... Movement [Hareket]... meaning they take
the trains, send them there and come back. And Traction
[Cer] too... serves the machine, the train.

84
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Cer li vir e?
 
Is Traction here?

85
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Cer li vira ye, cem me hene. Çil merî ye.
 
Traction is here, we have them. It's forty people.

86
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Kanin em bibînin?
 
Can we see it?

87
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Wella haliyen... li... ne li mehetê ne bes noka.
 
Well currently... in... they are not at the station just
now.

88
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Li Racû ne? Na li vira jî hene?
 
Are they in Rajo? No, are they here too?

89
00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Li vira jî hene. Bes noka li mehetê ne. Bes yanî estera...
wez'ê vana yê xebatê, ji ber ku emê xizmetê me ji ber da
bîst heşt sal in a, teqrîben ez gîzanim yanî. Şixulê her
kesî çi şixulî dibîne.
 
They are here too. But right now they are in the station.
But meaning... their work situation, because our service has
been twenty-eight years, I know roughly. Every person's
work, what work they do.

90
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Li Cer xizmetî makîna dikin. Avê dikinê, mazotê dikinê, vana
sînyê çêdikin.
 
In Traction they service the machines. They put water in,
put diesel in, they fix the maintenance [siyana].

91
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Naha em çawa avê li vir dikinê?
 
Now how do we put water in here?

92
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Av, li cem me vira dibên 'Menhel'. Yanî... du av hene.
wekî...
 
Water, here with us they call it 'Manhal' [Water
Crane/Source]. Meaning... there are two waters. Like...

93
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Em kanin herin bibînin?
 
Can we go see it?

94
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Kanin herin bibînin.
 
We can go see it.

95
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000
De kerem ke.
 
Please, go ahead.

96
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Ehlen we sehlen.
 
Welcome.

97
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,000
De ka naha heve?
 
So is this it?

98
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Hewa navê xwe Menhelê avê ye. Hewa jî ma'nî tirênê buxarî...
bes berê weyî, tirênê... kumerê dihatin. Bavê min rehmetî
ser gende, şixulî deh salan, tirên ser... ser kumerê bû.
 
This is called the Water Manhal [Crane]. This is, meaning,
for Steam trains... but before that, coal... trains came. My
late father upon his soul, worked ten years, the trains were
on... on coal.

99
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Di kîjan salê da?
 
In which year?

100
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Borî avê dikinî...
 
The year... approximately... he worked from forty-eight
until fifty-eight.

101
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Borî avê dikinî...
 
They put the water pipe in...

102
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Heb... heb a waka... heb a manê an dorê dikinîn ser trênê.
 
Look... look like this... look, meaning they put that turn
[valve] on the train.

103
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Em vêcî va dikin, manê av vaye diçî qazanê trênê.
 
We open the valve, meaning the water goes into the train's
boiler.

104
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Heb wiya manê, heb manalo.
 
That is the meaning of it, just like that.

105
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,000
No karî vêjî namayî?
 
Now, its function doesn't remain?

106
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
No, karî vêjî namayî noke. Paşê dema dîzel hat, dîzel jî ser
mazotê ye.
 
No, its function doesn't remain now. Then when diesel came,
diesel runs on fuel [mazut].

107
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Ewa jî av neyê gerekî xwe... yanî ne... heb manalo neyê
gerekî wî ye.
 
That one doesn't need water... meaning no... just like that,
it doesn't need it.

108
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Paşê em nasekînin, nasekînin ewa.
 
Then we don't stop, we don't stop that [using it].

109
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Spasiya te dikim.
 
I thank you.

110
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Ez jî dikim, ser taca xweş.
 
I do too, upon my happy crown [You're welcome].

111
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Bi xatire te.
 
Goodbye.

112
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Ser taca xweş.
 
Upon my happy crown [You're welcome].

113
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Temaşevanên hêja...

117
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000

Dear viewers, we have crossed into the village of Meydan
Ekbez.

118
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Ev gunda, nûd (nod) sal e ava bûye.
 
This village was built ninety years ago.

119
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Me got, berê giya destpêkê Ermena hatin, ji ber zilmê Tirka
revîn hatin vira.
 
As we said, originally the Armenians came at the beginning,
they fled here from the oppression of the Turks.

120
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Lê piştre jî...
 
But after that...

121
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Ev erd e, yê Kurda ye. Livir hef perçe ne, livir bêjin
Meydan e.
 
This land belongs to the Kurds. Here there are seven parts,
here they call it Meydan [Square/Field].

122
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Gundê vira, derdorê vê gundê na hatin. Piştî Ermena hatin
vira...
 
The villages here, around this village, came. After the
Armenians came here...

123
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Kurdê me jî hatin livir rûniştin.
 
Our Kurds also came and settled here.

124
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Lê Apê Hecî Bekir li kêlek min e.
 
But Uncle Hecî Bekir is beside me.

125
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Emê wîna zêde jê nas bikin.
 
We will get to know more from him.

126
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Umrê xwe nod û pênc sal e.
 
His age is ninety-five years.

127
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Înşalla umrekî xweş û dirêj bide Xwedê.
 
God willing, may God grant him a happy and long life.

128
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Mezinê vê gundî ye. Emê wîna zêde jê nas bikin.
 
He is the elder of this village. We will get to know more

Digot, em û Ereb yek in, dîn tîn in, em û Kurmanc yek in...
ketin nemara tina.
 
He said, we and the Arabs are one, religion is religion, we
and the Kurds are one... they fell into [unclear].

00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,000
De biro bin, ew jî derbas bû çûn ku derbû...
 
Let it go, that too passed and went wherever it went...

zemanekî dî tê.
 
Now there are many lights for the time too. Every move a
time goes, another time comes.

Parsa.
 
Parsa [Possibly: It's a share/legacy].

If we are aware of one leading himself astray, if it doesn't

gewdekî tenê be.

Wele kes bi me nikare.

Siwalin te hene min ra bêje.
