1
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Belê temaşevanên hêja, vê carê jî me berê xwe daye gundê
Me'reskê.
 
Yes, dear viewers, this time we have headed to the village
of Ma'arske.

2
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Gundê Me'reskê jî girêdayî navçeya Şera ye.
 
The village of Ma'arske is also connected to the district of
Shera.

3
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Dema mirov bixwaze derbasî Çiyayê Kurmênc be, destpêkê mirov
derbasî gundê Me'reskê dibe.
 
When one wants to enter the Kurd Dagh, one first passes
through the village of Ma'arske.

4
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Xwezayiya vê gundê jî gelek xweş e.
 
The nature of this village is also very beautiful.

5
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Niha jî dema kiraza ye.
 
Now is also the time for cherries.

6
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Me xwest di vê mehanê de em derbas bibin,
 
We wanted to pass through during this month,

7
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:50,000
ka em bi hev re derbasî gundê Me'reskê bibin, em bi hev re
nas bikin.
 
so let's go to the village of Ma'arske together and get to
know it.

8
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Mamoste Memdûh, merhaba çawa yî?
 
Teacher Memduh, hello, how are you?

9
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Ehlen we sehlen, ser sera ser çava.
 
Welcome, you are very welcome.

10
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Hûn li gundê Me'reskê ne.
 
You are in the village of Ma'arske.

11
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Em bixêrhatina we dikin û em spas dikin.
 
We welcome you and we thank you.

12
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Spas, em îro derbasî gundê Me'reskê bûne û destpêkê jî em
derbasî cem te bûne.
 
Thanks, we have entered the village of Ma'arske today and
first we came to you.

13
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Me xwest hinekî em agahiyan li ser çandiniyê nas bikin.
 
We wanted to learn some information about agriculture.

14
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Di gundê we de çi tê naskirin? Hêna bêtir di çandiniyê de,
yanî...
 
What is known in your village? Specifically in
agriculture...

15
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Gundê Me'reskê, wek hemû gundên herêma Efrînê, Çiyayê
Kurmênc, bi çandiniyê bi nav û deng e.
 
The village of Ma'arske, like all the villages of the Afrin
region, Kurd Dagh, is famous for its agriculture.

16
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Di sereke da bi çandina darên zeytûnê. Ew jî Efrîn giş bi
giştî, yanî pê tê nasîn.
 
Mainly by planting olive trees. Afrin as a whole is known
for that.

17
00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Di vê demê de, niha ji sî sal û vir de jî, li kêlek, rex
darên zeytûnê, darên kirazê jî li gundê Me'reskê hatine
çandin.
 
Currently, for the past thirty years or so, alongside the
olive trees, cherry trees have also been planted in the
village of Ma'arske.

18
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Keş û hewayê wê, yanî cewê wê û axa wê, qebûl kir.
 
Its climate and weather, meaning its atmosphere and soil,
accepted it.

19
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Ber gundê me Me'reskê gundekî bilindahiya wî 460 metre ye.
 
Because our village Ma'arske is a village with an altitude
of 460 meters.

20
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Buhara wê û havîna wê hênik e.
 
Its spring and summer are cool.

21
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Wê hênikbûnê dihêle ev darên kirazê tê de rind bijî, rind
bibe.
 
That coolness allows these cherry trees to live well, to
thrive in it.

22
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Çunkî darên kirazê darek bejî ye. Yanî bi avdana naxwaze.
 
Because cherry trees are rain-fed trees. Meaning they don't
require irrigation.

23
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Û herêma me jî hênikahiya xwe heye, lewma ji ber wê tu
dibîne ev dar pir li herêma Efrînê pir belav ne bû.
 
And our region also has its coolness, which is why you see
these trees weren't very widespread in the Afrin region.

24
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Li vir, li vî gundî dibe, û li gundê Bilbilkê jî...
 
It grows here, in this village, and in the village of
Bilbilk as well...

25
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Ji vê darê hene û bi hezaran dar niha li gundê Me'reskê
hatine çandin û ketine ber.
 
There are some of these trees, and thousands of trees have
now been planted in the village of Ma'arske and have started
bearing fruit.

26
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Û wek hûn dibînin, ber didin, û yanî millet jî debara xwe
piştî zeytûnê, millet jî debara xwe bi vê darê dike.
 
And as you can see, they bear fruit, and I mean the people
also make their living, after olives, the people make their
living from this tree.

27
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Yanî ji kîjan demê darên kirazê çiqas sal bi we re heye?
 
So since when, how many years have you had cherry trees?

28
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Yanî dor 10-15 hezar darî kirazê heye.
 
Meaning there are around 10-15 thousand cherry trees.

29
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Ev dar niha jî bi pirranî di nav darên zeytûnê da têne
çandin.
 
These trees are mostly planted among the olive trees.

30
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Û çîçekî ha hejmar, ne ew e, yanî em nikarin li ser hejmarê
bisekinin.
 
And exactly, the number, it's not that, I mean we can't
focus on the exact number.

31
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Ji ber ko sal bi sal, jê nisbek teqrîben ji sedî dor yek,
dudo, sê, sê, heta pênco, hişk dibe, yanî bi xwe hişk dibe,
hin nexweşîn hene.
 
Because year by year, a percentage of roughly around one,
two, three, up to five percent, dries out, I mean it dries
out on its own, there are some diseases.

32
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Taybetmendiyên wê darê jî hene.
 
There are also specific characteristics of that tree.

33
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Ê ji ber wê, yanî dor 10-15 hezar darî kirazê li gundê
Me'reskê heye.
 
Well, because of that, meaning there are around 10-15
thousand cherry trees in the village of Ma'arske.

34
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Tiştekî din ez dixwazim bînim ziman, gundê Me'reskê
 
Another thing I want to mention, the village of Ma'arske

35
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,000
berî sî salî, bi zêbeşan dihat nasîn.
 
thirty years ago, was known for watermelons.

36
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Yanî bi rastî, zêbeş, zêbeşê li vederê pir baş dibûn,
 
Meaning in reality, watermelons, the watermelons here used
to be very good,

37
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Û hem zêbeşên gilok î, pê ra digotin emrîkî di wî wextî da.
 
Both the round watermelons, which they called American at
that time.

38
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Û hem zêbeşên dirêj bûn, wek balgiyan dibûn, zêbeşê bûk pê
ra digotin.
 
And also the long watermelons, they were like pillows, they
called them bride watermelons.

39
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Ew jî wan zêbeşan, nîvî dikirin axê.
 
And those watermelons, they used to bury half of them in the
soil.

40
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Ji ber çi dikirin axê? Dikirin axê ji bo qalqê wê, çîşkî
qalew bibe.
 
Why did they bury them in the soil? They buried them in the
soil so its rind, so it becomes thick.

41
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Û dima heya dawiya çileya zivistanê.
 
And it remained until the end of the forty days of winter.

42
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Li ser xaniyên me dadanîn û sergênek jî me tûlê zêbeşê
dadanîn, ser digirtin.
 
We placed them on our roofs and we also put a cover of
watermelon vines, covering them.

43
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Yanî wek tiştek parastinê, heta bi dawiyê çileya zivistanê
me zêbeş yanî dadanîn, dixwarin, û hem jî ji firotanê ra.
 
Meaning like a protection thing, until the end of the forty
days of winter we kept watermelons, ate them, and also for
selling.

44
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Hem jî me bi xwe jî dixwar.
 
And we also ate them ourselves.

45
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Ji zêbeşê bûk, du cure hebûn. Cureyek hebû îçê gindî sor bû,
 
From the bride watermelons, there were two types. There was
a type where the inside of the melon was red,

46
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:55,000
cureyek din jî hebû îçê gindî zer bû. Zer, zer, yanî zer.
Hew taybetmendiya vî gundî hebû.
 
and another type where the inside of the melon was yellow.
Yellow, yellow, meaning yellow. It was a characteristic of
this village.

47
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Lê ji sî sal û vir da, piştî keş û hewa hat guherîn, yanî
berf û baran kêm bûn,
 
But for thirty years now, after the climate changed, meaning
snow and rain decreased,

48
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000
û wek hûn dibînin, ev dinya jî çîçkî ber bi germahiyê çû.
 
and as you can see, this world also moved a bit towards
warmth.

49
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Ê ji ber wê û baran kêm bû, ji ber wê niha zêbeş nayên
çandin li vî gundî.
 
Because of that and the rain decreased, because of that
watermelons are no longer planted in this village.

50
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Ji ber zêbeşan va, kiraz ketin vî gundî û wek hûn dibînin,
 
Due to the (loss of) watermelons, cherries entered this
village and as you can see,

51
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:30,000
yanî nisbek pir baş, pir rind gund debara xwe pê dike, û
mewsimek, di wextekî da dibe ku
 
meaning a very good proportion, very well, the village makes
its living from it, and a season, it happens at a time that

52
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
tu fêkî din hîn niha derneketiye.
 
no other fruit has come out yet.

53
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Ji ber wê ev fêkî li Me'reskê pê hat nasîn û bi nav û deng
bûn.
 
Because of that, this fruit became known in Ma'arske and
became famous.

54
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Di kîjan demê de dest pê dike?
 
At what time does it start?

55
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Bi xwe di yekî gulanê de, yekî gulanê yanî meha pêncan, dest
bi çinîna wê dibe. Heya dawiya gulanê.
 
Well, on the first of May, the first of May meaning the
fifth month, its harvesting begins. Until the end of May.

56
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Yanî çinîna wê mehekê dirêj dike. Piştî wê mehê, êdî mewsim
namîne.
 
Meaning its harvesting lasts for a month. After that month,
the season no longer remains.

57
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Xizmetî daran tê kirin, kurm tên kuştin, derman tê kirin,
erd tê ajotin.
 
The trees are maintained, pests are killed, they are
sprayed, the soil is plowed.

58
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Û tiştekî din, amade dibe heta mewsima din.
 
And another thing, it gets ready until the next season.

59
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Yanî sal bi sal hene.
 
Meaning year by year there are (cherries).

60
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Darê kirazê sal bi sal digire. Ne wek darê zeytûnê ye.
Salekê digire, salekê nagire.
 
The cherry tree yields year by year. It is not like the
olive tree. One year it yields, one year it doesn't.

61
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Em karin bibêjin yanî bi giştî deh cureyek darên kirazê
hene, belkî hûn dibînin hinik sor bûne, hinek jî hîn ker in,
 
We can say that generally there are about ten types of
cherry trees, maybe you see some have turned red, some are
still deaf (unripe),

62
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Lê dest pê dike ji yekî gulanê de, ji yekî gulanê de, heta
dawiya
 
But it starts from the first of May, from the first of May,
until the end of

63
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000
ev deh cureyek, her du-sê roja ev curek dibe. Yanî sinfek.
 
these ten types, every two or three days a type ripens.
Meaning a class.

64
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Navê wan çi ne, tu karî ji me re bêje?
 
What are their names, can you tell us?

65
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Bixwedê navên wan hene. Pir in, yanî navên wan, me niha yek
jê, cureyeke selef dibêjin, fêr dibêjin. Î buharê, î zûtirîn
kiraz, yanî ew zû dibe.
 
By God, they have names. There are many, I mean their names,
we now have one of them, they call it the selef type, they
say fêr. The spring one, the earliest cherry, meaning it
ripens early.

66
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Du ro î telyanî... hûrik e, hewayê, tenê wê pir hûrik e.
 
The second is the Italian... it's small, the weather, its
seed is very small.

67
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Hewayê berî gihêştinê dibe. Yanî heta em dikarin bibînin di
25ê nîsanê jî dibe.
 
The weather makes it ripen earlier. Meaning we can even see
it ripens on the 25th of April.

68
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Dû re evê taliyanî qirse, û ev e bi rastî xwe kirine,
 
After that, the big Italian ones, and these have truly
established themselves,

69
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:08,000
û evî em... me kirine, yanî ji evî ra, ji kirîn-firotanê ra
pir baş e.
 
and that we... we have planted, meaning for that, for buying
and selling it's very good.

70
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Du ro emrîkî heye, dû re firansî heye,
 
Secondly there is the American, then there is the French,

71
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Dû re... qelbê teyr heye.
 
Then... there is the bird's heart.

72
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Xetek lê heye wê re dibêjin qos qezah, hinek wê re dibêjin
ebû hiz bi erebî.
 
There is a line on it they call the rainbow, some call it
Abu Hiz in Arabic.

73
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Cureyek din heye, jê ra çerê û şerabê û dera çêdikin. Ew jî
pê re dibêjin weşne.
 
There is another type, from which they make jam and wine and
such. They also call that Weşne (sour cherry).

74
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Ew jî tenê wê hûr e, û tama wê mize ye.
 
Its seed is also small, and its taste is sour.

75
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Û ev dar bixwe li ser darê mehlebê tên aşle kirin.
 
And these trees themselves are grafted onto Mahaleb trees.

76
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Yanî destpêkê tu darê mehlebê biçînî, piştî salekê heta du
salan te ew dara mehlebê aşla kir.
 
Meaning first you plant the Mahaleb tree, after a year up to
two years you graft that Mahaleb tree.

77
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Te aşle kir şûnde, ev dar heta 7 salan ortê dikeve ber. Yanî
ber digre.
 
After you grafted it, this tree takes up to 7 years on
average to bear fruit. Meaning it bears fruit.

78
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Naha ev a me li ber çi ye?
 
Now what is this one in front of us?

79
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Ev a ev e... ve ra dibêjin î taliyanî.
 
This is... they call this the Italian one.

80
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Mamoste, te got te behsa kir, berî em dest pê bikin bernamê,
te got, min lêkolînek çêkiriye ser çandiniyê.
 
Teacher, you said, you mentioned, before we started the
program, you said, I have done research on agriculture.

81
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Bixwedê min bixwe yanî lêkolînek li ser darê kirazê bi
zimanî kurdî çêkiriye.
 
By God, I have personally done a research on the cherry tree
in the Kurdish language.

82
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Teqrîben dor d-û pênc pelk a ye. Û min cureyên gindî jî,
gihî bi sûret û bi aşle û bi nexweşiyên wê jî min çêkiriye û
min daxistiye yanî.
 
It is roughly around two and five pages (25 pages). And I
have also documented the types of seeds, all with pictures
and grafting and its diseases, I have prepared and released
it.

83
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Û niha jî min pirtûkek li ser jîngehê û daristanên li Çiyayê
Kurmênc çêkiriye,
 
And now I have also written a book about the environment and
forests in Kurd Dagh,

84
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
yanî bi Erebî dibêjin, El-bî'a wel-hîrac fî Cebel el-Ekrad
minteqet Efrîn.
 
meaning in Arabic they say, Al-bi'a wal-hiraj fi Jabal al-
Akrad mintaqat Afrin.

85
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Di nav wê pirtûkê de, min li ser jîngehê bi taybetî jîngeha
herêma Efrînê û daristanên Efrînê ê xuzayî li ser
sekiniyeme,
 
In this book, I have focused on the environment,
specifically the environment of the Afrin region and the
natural forests of Afrin,

86
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Û li ser ê hatî çandin sekiniyeme,
 
And I have focused on what has been planted,

87
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Û li ser keş û hewa yanî menaxê wê, hewayê wê sekiniyeme.
 
And I have focused on the climate, meaning its weather, its
atmosphere.

88
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Li ser axê sekiniyeme, piştî wê min...
 
I have focused on the soil, after that I...

89
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:11,000
... sed û yek cure jê darên dar û wê binî dara, yanî çewêrin
pê nexweşiya û pê dera mualece dikin.
 
... one hundred and one kinds of trees, and under those
trees, there are herbs used to treat illnesses.

90
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Min sed û yek cure danîne. Min li ser nefesa dîn, min gî
wêneyên wê kişandine, sûretê wê kişandine.
 
I have planted one hundred and one kinds. I took pictures of
them all by myself.

91
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Spas ji te ra, mamê Derwêş, gundîyê te, pir spas.
 
Thank you, Uncle Derwêş, for your time. Thank you very much.

92
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Welet ev e, pir spas.
 
It is nothing, thank you.

93
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Di nava gundê Me'rskê de ku mîrata zeman û daristanên kevnar
ê taybet hene, ne tenê zarok, lê belê jin jî li ser zimanê
Kurdî perwerde dibin.
 
In the village of Me'rskê, which is a legacy of time and has
special ancient forests, not only children, but also women
are educated in the Kurdish language.

94
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Xelkê gund debara jiyana xwe di asta yekemîn de li ser
çandiniya darên zeytûnê dikin.
 
The village people make a living primarily by growing olive
trees.

95
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Û baxçeyên fêkî, nexasim darên vîşne, ku bi dehan cureyan
têne çandin.
 
And fruit orchards, especially sour cherry trees, which are
planted in dozens of varieties.

96
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Di sala 1907'an de dara yekemîn ya vîşne di vî gundî de
hatiye çandin.
 
The first sour cherry tree was planted in this village in
1907.

97
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Û piştre li hemû gundên kantona Efrînê belav bû. Digel wê
res, ango darên fêkiyan jî ji hemû cureyan têne çandin.
 
And later spread to all the villages of the Afrin canton.
Along with that, fruit trees of all kinds are also planted.

98
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Digel baran, gundî zeviyên genim jî diçînin û berhemên wan
li bazarên Efrînê difroşin.
 
With the rain, the villagers also plant wheat fields and
sell their products in the markets of Afrin.

99
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Hin malbat jî bes xwedî dikin û hin kes jî mêşên hingiv
xwedî dikin.
 
Some families only raise livestock, and some people raise
honey bees.

100
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Mamo Xelat, merhaba ji te ra.
 
Hello to you, Uncle Xelat.

101
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Ehlen û sehlen û sed mît merhaba. Ehlen û sehlen bi hatina
we.
 
Welcome, and a hundred hellos. Welcome.

102
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Me xwest hinîkî em gundê Me'rskê nas bikin.
 
We wanted to get to know the village of Me'rskê a bit.

103
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Ji kengî ve çêbûye ev gund? Malbatên kîjan gundî hatine?
 
Since when was this village established? Which village
families came here?

104
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Gundê Me'rskê em xozanên zanan dibêjin Me'rskê.
 
The village of Me'rskê, we elders call it Me'rskê.

105
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Em xozanê zanan, em dibêjin gundê Me'rskê. Berî gundekî ji
mêj e.
 
We elders, we call it the village of Me'rskê. From earlier,
it is a very old village.

106
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Pir kevin e. Û ev gund Hemkullekan...
 
It's very old. And this village, Hemkullekan...

107
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:30,000
em gişt malek in. Em gişt ji Hemkullekan e. Berê ev gund,
şeş-heft mal e, em gişt ji wê bavî ne.
 
we are all one family. We are all Hemkullekan. Earlier, this
village was six-seven families, we are all from that father.

108
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Lê belê noka, kuniyetên me pir bûne. Ev jî kê wekir?
Hikûmetê wekir û zemanê Osmaniyan de wekirin.
 
However, now, our surnames have become many. And who did
this? The government did it, and they did it during the
Ottoman times.

109
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Ne me red kir. Mesele, maliyên Hemkullekan, kuniyetê me bû
Topal Hemo.
 
Not that we rejected it. For example, the families of
Hemkullekan, our surname became Topal Hemo.

110
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Topal Hemo, yanî di zemanê Tirkan de, Hemkullek seqet bû,
Topal Hemo.
 
Topal Hemo, meaning in the time of the Turks, Hemkullek was
disabled, Topal Hemo.

111
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Topal Hemo yanî seqet bû. Lê navê wî Hemkullek e.
 
Topal Hemo means he was disabled. But his name is Hemkullek.

112
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Bi Kurmancî em dibêjin Hemkullek. Naho jî em kirine çar-pênc
kuniyet.
 
In Kurmanji we say Hemkullek. And now they have made us
four-five surnames.

113
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Ya xî ev kuniyet pir çêbûne di nav me de, em gişt Hemkullek
in. Em gişt jî mervê hev in.
 
Brother, these surnames have become many among us, we are
all Hemkullek. We are all relatives.

114
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Xêr e, ev pênc-şeş kuniyet ê di nav me de, me di xwest û em
di xwazin, gişt bikê yek kuniyet ba.
 
Anyway, these five-six surnames among us, we wanted and we
want them all to be one surname.

115
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Gişt bi kuniyek ba. Paşê em ji de û çardeh-pazdeh bavan de
li vî welatî ne, ji mêj de.
 
All of them to be one surname. Then, we have been in this
country for fourteen-fifteen generations, for a long time.

116
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Domer heye, Înal heye, Mistefa heye, Xelîlbaş heye,
 
There is Domer, there is Înal, there is Mistefa, there is
Xelîlbaş,

117
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Hebîb heye, Osman heye. Paşê Hemkullek tê, yanî Hemkullek ji
sed û pêncî salî vir de ye.
 
There is Hebîb, there is Osman. Then comes Hemkullek,
meaning Hemkullek is from one hundred and fifty years ago.

118
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Lê meselê me pir ji mêj e, ji sêsed-çarsed salî de em xozan
in, yanî koka me li vir bû.
 
But our history is from a long time ago, we are elders from
three hundred-four hundred years ago, meaning our roots were
here.

119
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Em ji Hemkullek in, ev gund gişt em ji Hemkullek in. Ne ev
gund tenê.
 
We are from Hemkullek, this whole village, we are from
Hemkullek. Not just this village alone.

120
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:57,000
No gundê E'lkê heye, ew jî Hemkullek in. Ew jî pismamên me
ne.
 
Now there is the village of E'lkê, they are also Hemkullek.
They are also our cousins.

121
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Ew jî pismamê me ne, no sê apê me li gundê E'lkê ne. Gundê
E'lkê jî yê me bû.
 
They are also our cousins, now we have three uncles in the
village of E'lkê. The village of E'lkê was also ours.

122
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Ew rojê ku em çûbûn em mêvanê wî gundî jî, me bername li wê
derê jî çêkir.
 
The day we went, we were guests in that village as well, we
made a program there too.

123
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Erê nê, pismamên me ne ev na. Lê apê me li wer in.
 
Yes, they are our cousins. But our uncles are there.

124
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Ez zanibim Serî Kaniyê jî ji pismamên we ne.
 
As far as I know, Serî Kaniyê is also your cousin's village.

125
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Serî Kaniyê jî pismamên me ne.
 
Serî Kaniyê are also our cousins.

126
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Serî Kaniyê, Hemdûş û Hemkullek birakê hev bûn. Hemdûş û
Hemkullek birakê hev bûn.
 
Serî Kaniyê, Hemdûş and Hemkullek were brothers. Hemdûş and
Hemkullek were brothers.

127
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Na ev bûn, ra dibêjin Hemdûşî, me ra dibêjin Hemkullekî. Lê
Hemdûş û Hemkullek birakê hev bûn, birakê hev bûn.
 
Now they are called Hemdûşî, and we are called Hemkullekî.
But Hemdûş and Hemkullek were brothers, they were brothers.

128
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Hemdûşî li Kefercenê man, em jî li vederê ne.
 
The Hemdûşî stayed in Kefercenê, and we are in Vederê.

129
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Navê gund jî aw qewirîn Serî Kaniyê bû?
 
Was the name of the village also changed to Serî Kaniyê?

130
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Lê. Berê em çûçik bûn. Kesî negot Kefercenê.
 
Yes. Previously, we were small. Nobody called it Kefercenê.

131
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Gişta digot çi? Emê biçin Serî Kaniyê. Em diçûn Serî Kaniyê.
 
What did everybody say? "We will go to Serî Kaniyê." We used
to go to Serî Kaniyê.

132
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Em qeçik bûn, çûçik bûn hinga. Jin ka diçûn Serî Kaniyê
wilo, çirê ku av li gund kêm bû.
 
We were kids, small ones then. The women would go to Serî
Kaniyê like that, because water was scarce in the village.

133
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Kaniyê jî li nava baxçên belek bû. Cilên xwe, tiştên xwe
dibirin li wir dişûştin.
 
And the spring was in the middle of the gardens. They took
their clothes and belongings and washed them there.

134
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Li wir ziya dikirin.
 
They did their washing there.

135
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Ew jî evqasî nêzîkê hev in?
 
And they are this close to each other?

136
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000
E le, ev e, gî kîlometrek e mabêna me û Kefercenê.
 
Yes, it is about a kilometer between us and Kefercenê.

137
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Gî kîlometrek e. Em gelekî pir nêzîk in.
 
It's just a kilometer. We are very close.

138
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Gelo ka kîjan gundên mervên we ne mervê we ne?
 
I wonder which other villages have your relatives?

139
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Mervên me, xirabê şera, qismekî mezin têde mervên me ne. Na
dibêjin Mistêko. Dibêjin Mistêko. Em naho ji Mistefê de ji
me qetîne.
 
Our relatives, in Xirabê Şera, a large part of them are our
relatives. Now they call them Mistêko. They call them
Mistêko. Now we have separated from Mistefa.

140
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Malên hene li Xirêbê de, qismekî mezin. Bes ji mêj de ji me
qetîne. Na dibêjin Xelbaşo. Ji Xelîlbaş de ji me qetîne.
 
There are families in Xirêbe, a large part. But they have
separated from us a long time ago. Now they are called
Xelbaşo. They separated from us starting with Xelîlbaş.

141
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Û pir hene, ji mêj de ji me qetîne. Bes ê naho tevrî, ji me
re ne nêzîk mayî, em û Hemdûşan e. Hemdûş û Hemkullekî yekî
bi nav gotî, birakê hev bûn.
 
And there are many, who separated from us a long time ago.
But the ones now, the most closely related to us, are us and
the Hemdûş. Hemdûş and Hemkullek were, as named, brothers.

142
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Mesele wusa ye yanî.
 
This is the story, basically.

143
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Inha gundê we çiqasî dixwîne? Çend mal têde hene?
 
Now, what is the population of your village? How many houses
are there?

144
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Teqrîben dora hefteyê malî heye.
 
There are approximately around seventy houses.

145
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Hefteyê malî heye. Û em giş jî ji wê bavî ne.
 
There are seventy houses. And we are all from that father.

146
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Gelek ji gund derketin derve? Yanî mesele wek çûne Efrînê,
çûne derên din?
 
Did many leave the village? For instance, like going to
Afrin, going to other places?

147
00:15:49,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Erê hene, hene. Hene li Efrînê rûniştine, malên xwe li vir
jî hene. Û hene wextiyekê li Heleb bûn, bes milkê xwe û
malên xwe li vir hiştibûn.
 
Yes, there are. There are those living in Afrin, they have
their houses here too. And there were some who lived in
Aleppo for a while, but they had left their properties and
houses here.

148
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Yên hebûn, di wezîfê de bûn. Li Helebê rûniştî bûn. Yanî ev
e gengeşe, karê gengeşe. Yên Efrînê de, dikanên xwe hebûn,
derê xwe hebûn, bes... malên xwe...
 
There were those who were employed. They lived in Aleppo.
Meaning, it's about business. The ones in Afrin had their
shops, their places, but... their homes...

149
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Yanî hem li gund hene, û hem jî li bajar hene.
 
Meaning they are both in the village, and also in the city.

150
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
No gundê we bi du navan tê naskirin, Me'rskê û gundê Ûsiv?
 
Now your village is known by two names, Me'rskê and the
village of Ûsiv?

151
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Ev navê Ûsiv ji ku hatiye?
 
Where did the name Ûsiv come from?

152
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Ûsiv... Ne me got Ûsiv û Xelîl birakê hev bûn. Birakê hev
bûn, du birak bûn. Du gunda xwe hebûn.
 
Ûsiv... Didn't we say Ûsiv and Xelîl were brothers. They
were brothers, there were two brothers. They had two
villages.

153
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Ûsiv li Me'rskê rûnişt, Xelîl jî li gundê E'lkê rûnişt. Em
dibên gundê E'lkê.
 
Ûsiv stayed in Me'rskê, Xelîl also stayed in the village of
E'lkê. We call it the village of E'lkê.

154
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Ûsiv li vî derê, ode vekir, odeyê mîvano.
 
Ûsiv opened a room here, a guest room.

155
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Berê li her gundekî odekê mîvano hebû?
 
Did every village have a guest room back then?

156
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
E, odeyê mîvano hebû. Berê wekî nahû, makîneyê dar birinê
nebûn.
 
Yes, there was a guest room. Back then, it wasn't like now,
there were no tree-cutting machines.

157
00:16:49,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Berê ev du gundî, ra merîk derbas bû gihaştiye vî derî,
hêvar dibû, ê ku derê here? Digot kî em ê...? Em ê eyan
odayê. Em ê bixwin û em ê vexin û em ê xewkin. Em ê sibehê
da taştê xwe jî bixwin, û em ê lêxin herin ciyê ku em pê
herin.
 
In the past, if a person from two villages over passed by
and arrived here, and evening fell, where would they go?
They would say, "Where will we...?" "We'll go to the room.
We'll eat, drink, and sleep. We'll eat our breakfast in the
morning, and then we'll hit the road to wherever we're
going."

158
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Berê weha bû yanî. Û Ûsiv xwedî dêwan bû. Yanî rehmet lêkê,
Ûsiv, Hecî Ûsiv, xwedî dêwan bû.
 
It used to be like that. And Ûsiv was the host of a diwan. I
mean, God rest his soul, Ûsiv, Hecî Ûsiv, was the host of a
diwan.

159
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Yanî bi wê, ê xwe derket.
 
That's how he became known.

160
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Naho mentîqe der û dora Efrînê, pirraniyê berê dibêjin gundê
Me'rskê, lê gundê Ûsiv?
 
Now the region around Afrin, do the majority of people refer
to it as the village of Me'rskê, or the village of Ûsiv?

161
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Ne, ne, pirr dibêjin Me'rskê. Bes va gundê nêzîkî me der û
dora we, ê qismek jê dibê gundê Ûsiv. Xêr e le, navê Ûsiv di
vî gundî de mafî, û ha xudanê gund bû.
 
No, no, they mostly say Me'rskê. But these villages close to
us, around us, a part of them call it the village of Ûsiv.
Anyway, the name of Ûsiv remained in this village, and he
was the owner of the village.

162
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Erê, wisa bû.
 
Yes, that's how it was.

163
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Gundê we jî di sînorê... bi navbera Efrînê û herêma Şehbayê
da ye. Gelek êrîş jî hatin ser we di vê şoreşê de?
 
Your village is on the border... between Afrin and the
Shahba region. There have been many attacks on you during
this revolution, haven't there?

164
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:56,000
E, le êrîş sê caran hatin ser me. Me ji gund derneketin.
Dawêrtin me, me da wêrt wan, derdiketin...
 
Yes, well, we were attacked three times. We didn't leave the
village. They fired at us, we fired back at them, they
left...

165
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Yekcaran yekcaran me digot jin û ji gund derxin, qeçkê çûçik
derxin. Em mêr di gund de diman, em der neketin. Em qet
derneketin. Ebeden em derneketin.
 
Sometimes, occasionally, we'd say "Take the women out of the
village, take the small children out." We men stayed in the
village, we didn't leave. We never left. We absolutely
didn't leave.

166
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Û elhemdulellah em serketin, û reva çûn. E, le çend şehîd
ketin, çûn. Bes ciwan jî...
 
And thank God, we prevailed, and they fled. Yes, well, some
fell as martyrs, they passed away. But the youth...

167
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Çar caran bi qasiyê me ketin yanî çûn. Û reva çûn. Û neha jî
em di wê derê de, weha...
 
Four times they got to our size, I mean, they went. And they
ran away. And right now we are in that place, like this...

168
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Em musaytir in yanî.
 
We are in control, basically.

169
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Mamo we qebê, xwedê kê masiyê we nede. Saeta te xweş. Ehlen
û sehlen jî hatina we, û em kêfxweş dibin. Û em dixwazin hûn
tim herin werin cem me.
 
Uncle, may God bless you, may God not let anything bad
happen to you. Have a good time. Welcome, and we are happy.
And we want you to always come visit us.

170
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Inşallah em ê tim werin nê.
 
God willing, we will always come.

171
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Ser çavan, hun ser çavan.
 
You are welcome, you are welcome.

172
00:18:47,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Spas ji te ra.
 
Thank you.

173
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Gundê Me'rskê girêdayî navçeya Şera ya Kantona Efrînê 12
kîlometreyî li başûrê rojhilatê navçeya Şera û 17
kîlometreyî li rohilatê bajarê Efrînê dikeve.
 
The village of Me'rskê is affiliated with the Shera district
of the Afrin Canton, located 12 kilometers to the southeast
of the Shera district and 17 kilometers to the east of the
city of Afrin.

174
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Navê gund ji wateya "Me'serê", ango "Kuvaşk"ê hatiye. Ji ber
ku gelek kuvaşgehên tirî di gund de hebûn û ev nav lê hatiye
kirin.
 
The name of the village comes from the meaning of "Me'serê"
(winepress), that is, "Kuvaşk". Because there were many
grape presses in the village, and it was given this name.

175
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Derdora gund bi dar û beran e, û hewş û xaniyên gund bi gul
û çîçek û darên curebicure n.
 
The surroundings of the village are full of trees and
bushes, and the courtyards and houses of the village have
various flowers, blossoms, and trees.

176
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Di her malekê de hemû cureyên çîçek û gulan tên dîtin. Ev
xuyadeke ku xelkên gund gelekî ji çandiniyê, xweza, û
xemlandinê hez dikin.
 
In every home, all types of blossoms and flowers can be
seen. This shows that the village people very much love
farming, nature, and decoration.

177
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Hemkullek kesê yekemîn e ku di gund de niştecih bûye. Lewma
hemû malbatên gund bi malbata Hemkullek têne naskirin, û ew
birayê Hemdoş bû, ku li Kefercenê niştecih bûye.
 
Hemkulê was the first person to settle in the village.
Therefore, all the families of the village are known by the
Hemkulê family, and he was the brother of Hemdûş, who
settled in Kefercenê.

178
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Hemû niştecihên gund ji yek malbatî ne, ango malbata
Hemkullek...
 
All the inhabitants of the village are from one family,
namely the Hemkullek...

179
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Golek ji eşîra Şikakan e,
 
A branch of the Shikak tribe,

180
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Her wisa navê malbata han ku yek ji li gund e
 
Likewise, the name of this family, which is one of the
families in the village,

181
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
El Kêcî, nişteciyê gund in
 
El Kêcî, they are residents of the village

182
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Û li wir dijîn.
 
And live there.

183
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Gundê me, rûbera wî ne mezin e,
 
Our village, its area is not large,

184
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Lê hewşên wan mezin û fereh in.
 
But their courtyards are large and spacious.

185
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Lewma tenê nêzî heştê xanî
 
Therefore, there are only about eighty houses

186
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Û derdora hefsed kes li gund dijîn.
 
And around seven hundred people live in the village.

187
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Li bakurê gund, serê kaniyê,
 
In the north of the village, at the head of the spring,

188
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Rûniştgehekî kevnar e, başûr û şerq El Coz,
 
There is an ancient settlement, to the south and east is El
Joz,

189
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Û rojava gundê Kefermezê,
 
And to the west is the village of Kafermez,

190
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Û Meşaleyê ne.
 
And Mashalah.

191
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Hemû herêmên derdora gund deşt e, û axa wî sor e,
 
All the areas around the village are plains, and its soil is
red,

192
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Û ji bo çandiniyê gelekî dewlemend e.
 
And it is very rich for agriculture.

193
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Hêjayî gotinê ye ku çiyayê Lêlûnê ji vî gundî dest pê dike,
 
It is worth mentioning that the Mount Lelun starts from this
village,

194
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Û ta deşta Cûmê didome.
 
And continues until the Jume plain.

195
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Li rojavayê gund kaniyek, bi navê Kaniya Kevan, heye.
 
In the west of the village, there is a spring called the
Spring of the Bows.

196
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Ji ber ku gelek kew li derdora wê diciviyan,
 
Because many partridges used to gather around it,

197
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Û nêçîrvanan li wir nêçîra kewan dikirin,
 
And hunters used to hunt partridges there,

198
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Û ta niha ev kaniye heye.
 
And this spring exists to this day.

199
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Xwezaya vî cihî gellekî xweş e, û seyrangehek e.
 
The nature of this place is very beautiful, and it's a
picnic area.

200
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Gundî di werzên bihar û havînê de seredana wê dikin,
 
The villagers visit it during the spring and summer seasons,

201
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Û rojên xweş lê derbas dikin.
 
And spend pleasant days there.

202
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Mamoste Mihemed, merheba ji te re.
 
Teacher Mihemed, hello to you.

203
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Ehlen we sehlen, ser çava, bixêr hatin.
 
Welcome, upon my eyes, you are welcome.

204
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Sax bî. Em derbasî serê gundê we bûn, me meraq kir ku em
derbasî dibistanê jî bibin.
 
Be healthy. We entered the beginning of your village, we
were curious to visit the school as well.

205
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Ji ber ku behsa gundê we dikirin, gundekî rewşenbîr e, gelek
rewşenbîr di vî gundî de hene.
 
Because they were talking about your village, it's an
educated village, there are many educated people in this
village.

206
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Me jî meraq kir ku em derbasî dibistanê bin, wek kengî
dibistan vekiriye,
 
We were also curious to enter the school, like when did the
school open,

207
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Û çawa dest bi xwendinê kiriye, zimanê kurdî, zimanê erebî,
wek kengî dest pê kiriye?
 
And how did studying start, Kurdish language, Arabic
language, like when did it start?

208
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Bi rastî, di dawiya şêstiyan de,
 
In truth, at the end of the sixties,

209
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Sê, sê kes ji gund çûn Ewropa xwendin.
 
Three, three people from the village went to Europe to
study.

210
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Û dibistana seretayî di destpêkê de di sala şêst û heyştan
de
 
And the primary school was initially, in the year sixty-
eight,

211
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Li gund hat avakirin.
 
Established in the village.

212
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Û sifrê... di odeyê de bû. Piştî wê, çû camiyê.
 
And initially... it was in a room. After that, it went to
the mosque.

213
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Lê piştî wê, di sala hezar û nehsid û heştê û diduyan de,
 
But after that, in the year nineteen eighty-two,

214
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Mamosteyê gund, rêveberê dibistanê, mamoste Adil Tobal,
 
The village teacher, the school principal, teacher Adil
Tobal,

215
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Bi rêya UNICEF,
 
Through UNICEF,

216
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Pênc dibistan li Sûriyê, li ser asta Sûriyê tev de, yek jê
li gundê me hat avakirin.
 
Five schools in Syria, across the whole level of Syria, one
of them was built in our village.

217
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Ev dibistana niha em lê ne.
 
This school that we are in right now.

218
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Ev dibistan ji wê çaxê de, şagirt li vê derê fêr dibin.
 
From that time, this school has students learning here.

219
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Di kîjan salê de?
 
In which year?

220
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Di sala hezar û nehsid û heyştê û diduyan de hat avakirin ev
dibistan.
 
This school was established in the year nineteen eighty-two.

221
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Û ji wê demê de şagirt dest bi fêrkirinê li vê dibistanê
dikin û heya niha.
 
And since that time, students have started learning at this
school, and until now.

222
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Û zimanê Kurdî, we kengî dest pê kir?
 
And the Kurdish language, when did you start?

223
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Zimanê kurdî, em bi piçûktiya xwe,
 
The Kurdish language, in our childhood,

224
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Û em zarok bûn, bavê me ji me re
 
When we were children, our fathers would put

225
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Alfabeya Kurdî, wa çaxê ya Osman Sebrî, di şêstiyan de ji me
re danîn,
 
The Kurdish alphabet, at that time Osman Sebri's, in the
sixties, for us,

226
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Û em fêr dibûn.
 
And we used to learn.

227
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Û hêdî hêdî di wê demê de, li ser
 
And gradually, at that time, from

228
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Gulistan a Seydayê Cegerxwîn, geder dixistî,
 
Gulistan by Seyda Cegerxwin, we used to get it,

229
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Em li ser wan govaran jî, we rojnameyan jî fêr dibûn.
 
We learned from those magazines and newspapers as well.

230
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Çi pirtûk di zimanê kurdî de, eger tîpek ba di kîjan
rojnameyê de ba, me dixwend,
 
Whatever book was in the Kurdish language, if there was a
letter in any newspaper, we read it,

231
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Û me xwe fêr dikir. Û ji zû de jî, ji wê demê de jî,
 
And taught ourselves. And from early on, from that time too,

232
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Me kursên zimanê kurdî di nav gund de bi kar anîn.
 
We used to hold Kurdish language courses in the village.

233
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Û niha jî wekî fermî dest pê kiriye, wekî wê demê de, dîsa
 
And now it has started officially, whereas at that time,
there was

234
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Tirs hebû, wate... zehmetî hebû, niha jî wek fermî dest pê
kiriye.
 
Fear, I mean... there were difficulties, and now it has
started officially.

235
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Belê, ew em gelekî kêfxweş in ku îro
 
Yes, we are very happy that today

236
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Ev karê me dikir, îro encam da.
 
This work that we did, yielded results today.

237
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Îro bi fermî û eşkere ev ziman tê fêrkirin.
 
Today, this language is officially and openly taught.

238
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Li ser bandoriya rewşenbîriya gund de, bi rastî ev kes,
hejmara
 
Regarding the impact of the village's education, truthfully,
the number

239
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Rewşenbîran di gundê me de, yên xwendinê ser bekalorya, di
heştê û çaran de,
 
Of educated people in our village, those studying above the
baccalaureate level, in eighty-four,

240
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Me hejmarek çêkir, dor sî û çar kes di wê demê de hebûn.
 
We did a count, there were around thirty-four people at that
time.

241
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Lê anha, hejmara wan sedî derbas dike.
 
But now, their number exceeds a hundred.

242
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Bijîşk hene, endazyar hene, dermanfiroş hene, anku parêzer
hene.
 
There are doctors, there are engineers, there are
pharmacists, as well as lawyers.

243
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Ji hemû cureyên xwendinê de di gund de hene.
 
There are people from all types of studies in the village.

244
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Û ev tişta bandorek pir erênî li gund çêhişt.
 
And this has left a very positive impact on the village.

245
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Ti nakokiyek di gund de çêdibin jî, tevahî bi aştiyane
çareser dibin.
 
Any disputes that occur in the village are resolved
peacefully.

246
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Ji aliyê jîngehê de, beriya vê bi heft-heşt salan,
 
In terms of the environment, seven or eight years ago,

247
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Me bi nefsekê gund, bi alîkariya hevdû, me nav gund tev ji
bakur heta başûr, û nav gund tev de paqij kir.
 
We, as the village itself, with each other's help, cleaned
the whole village from north to south, and the inside of the
village as well.

248
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Ji bo jîngehek pak û baş em kanibin, mînakek em we
 
So that we can have a clean and good environment, as an
example, we

249
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Bidîn van nifşên ku di pey me re tên, ku bala xwe bidin van
tiştan.
 
Can show these generations coming after us, so that they pay
attention to these things.

250
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Ji aliyê jîngehê de jî, û di her warî de, di avahiyan de,
 
In terms of the environment too, and in every aspect, in the
buildings,

251
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Di danûstandinan de, di têkildariyê de, ev tiştan tiştekî
yanî
 
In interactions, in relationships, these things are
something, I mean,

252
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Balkêş e di nav gundê me de.
 
Remarkable in our village.

253
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Gotin ev dibistan ne tenê zarok dixwînin, kesên bi temenê
wan mezin jî dixwînin.
 
They said that not only children study in this school, but
older people study too.

254
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Belê, ew jî bi rastî cihê kêfxweşiyê ye. Hîn
 
Yes, that is truly a point of happiness. Even

255
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Berî bîst salan, û ...
 
Twenty years ago, and...

256
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Gelek ji dayikên min, û gelek ji temenê dayikên me de
 
Many of my mothers, and many of our mothers' age,

257
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Me wê çaxê digotin mehwil umiyye,
 
At that time, we used to say literacy classes,

258
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Ve ji bo ku ew ê nexwendî
 
So that those who are uneducated,

259
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Me xwest heta dayikên me jî fêr bibin, li vê derê dixwendin.
 
We wanted even our mothers to learn, they studied here.

260
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Û anha piştî ku zimanê kurdî,
 
And now, after the Kurdish language,

261
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Anha ew ê bi temen zimanê kurdî jî fêr dibin. Pîrek jî û kal
jî,
 
Now older people learn the Kurdish language too. Both old
women and old men,

262
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Di vê dibistanê de.
 
In this school.

263
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Ev cihekî serbilind e bi rastî ye.
 
This is truly a place of pride.

264
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Tê bîrê ku we... dibistana yekemîn di Rojava Kurdistanê de
zimanê kurdî lê hate xwendin
 
It is remembered that you... the first school in Rojava
Kurdistan where the Kurdish language was taught

265
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Di gundê Duruqliya de bû.
 
Was in the village of Duruqliya.

266
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Belê.
 
Yes.

267
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Em carekê çûn, me serdana wan jî kir. Naha em derbasî gundê
we jî bûn.
 
We went once, we visited them too. Now we have entered your
village as well.

268
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Tu dixwazî tiştekî bibêjî berî em derbas bibin?
 
Do you want to say something before we move on?

269
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Di vî warî de, di warê zimanê kurdî de, di warê
welatparêziyê de, bi rastî gundê me
 
In this aspect, regarding the Kurdish language, regarding
patriotism, our village truthfully

270
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Roleke xwe ya girîng heye, ji zû de.
 
Has an important role, from a long time ago.

271
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Em bi hevre alîkar in di vî warî de, û ji bo ku em, wê wek
ku dibe...
 
We cooperate with each other in this regard, and so that we,
as it seems...

272
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Ku zemîn da kanibin baştir fêr bibin,
 
So that people can learn better on the ground,

273
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Bi alîkariya min û dîktor Mihemed Evdo Elî, me pirtûkek
rêzimanê kurdî,
 
With the help of myself and Doctor Mihemed Evdo Eli, we took
a Kurdish grammar book,

274
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Me wergerand zimanê erebî, ji bo ko em alîkar bin
 
We translated it into Arabic, so that we could be helpful

275
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Ku kesên ko dixwazin fêr bibin bi hêsanî fêr bibin.
 
So that those who want to learn can learn easily.

276
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Me ew kirî û ew jî aha pirtûkeke me ye.
 
We did that, and this is our book.

277
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Û ji bernameyê we re, me amade kir ku em diyarî we bikin.
 
And we have prepared it to give as a gift to your program.

278
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Spas ji te re... Her bijî ji te re.
 
Thank you... Long live to you.

279
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Silavê me ji dîktor Mihemed Evdo re jî hene, bi rastî.
 
We also send our greetings to Doctor Mihemed Evdo,
truthfully.

280
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Ew jî, insankî hêja ye, wî jî kedek daye, bi rastî ew jî
 
He is also a valuable person, he has also put in effort, in
truth he also

281
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Pirtûkek çêkirine li ser Efrînê, li ser gundên me, li ser
tiştên dîrokî.
 
Wrote a book about Afrin, about our villages, about
historical things.

Em spasiya wî jî dikin.
 
We thank him as well.

283

Mala te ava be, kerem ke.
 
May your house prosper, go ahead.

284
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Pirtûk bo we diyarî be.
 
May the book be a gift for you.

285
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Bernamya Ax û Welat.
 
The program Ax û Welat (Land and Country).

286
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:33,000
Hûn ev diyarî jî ji me qebûl kin, em diyarî gelê xwe dikin.
 
Please accept this gift from us as well, we gift it to our
people.

287
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Û em spasiya seredana we dikin.
 
And we thank you for your visit.

288
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Û em bi hêvî ne welatê me, roj bi roj berpêş û ...
 
And we hope that our country, day by day, progresses and...

Asta cîhanê baştir, û serkeftî be.
 
Reaches a better global level, and is successful.

290
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Spas ji te re.
 
Thank you.

291
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Mamoste Mihemed Tobal, hemo.
 
Teacher Mihemed Tobal, completely.

292
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Ser çava. Hûn bi xêr hatin, û em pir kêfxweş in bi hatina
we.
 
Upon my eyes. You are welcome, and we are very happy with
your arrival.

293
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Û serbilind in.
 
And we are proud.

294
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Merheba ji we re.
 
Hello to you.

295
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Bixêr hatî. Ji bernameya Ax û Welat re, pir kêfxweş bûn tu
derbasî dibistana me bû.
 
Welcome. To the program Ax û Welat, we were very happy you
came to our school.

296
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Spas, serçavan...
 
Thank you, upon my eyes...

297
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Ez niha ji grûpekê re birêveber dibim, gî jin in. Jinên gund
in.
 
I am currently managing a group, they are all women. The
women of the village.

298
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Dixwazin ku fêrî zimanê Kurdî bibin, mane em pêşerojê ber
zarokên xwe bin, bi alîkarî bin.
 
They want to learn the Kurdish language, so that we can be
helpful to our children in the future.

299
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Yanî jinên gund hemî derbasî dibistanê dibin.
 
So all the women of the village attend the school.

300
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Hemî derbasî dibistanê dibin, ji piraniya jinên gundî me gî
fêrî zimanê Kurdî bûn e.
 
All of them attend the school, most of the women in our
village have learned the Kurdish language.

301
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Yanî, temen bi mezin û piçûk fêr dibin.
 
So, both old and young are learning.

302
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Mezin, piçûk, gî fêr bûn e.
 
Old, young, they all learned.

303
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Piştî wan, jinên din dixwazin grûpên din em çêkin birêve
bibin, yanî ev jî di dema havînê de ye.
 
After them, other women want us to create and manage other
groups, I mean, this is during the summer time too.

304
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Ji ber ku gund bi xwe, kesên ku bi temen mezin derbasî
dibistanê dibin yanî?
 
So, because of the village itself, older people are
attending the school, you mean?

305
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Erê erê, yên temen mezin derbasî dibistanê dibin, anha di
nava me de hevserokê komînê ye,
 
Yes, yes, the older ones are attending the school, right now
among us is the co-chair of the commune,

306
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Yek jî ew e ya di lîjneya parastinê de ye, û ya Yekîtiya
Star ji me heye.
 
One is also the one in the defense committee, and we have
one from Yekitiya Star.

307
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Yanî tevahî, ew mamosteyên fermî ji me hene. Tevahî em gî
fêrî zimanê kurdî dikin.
 
So in total, we have those official teachers. We teach all
of them the Kurdish language.

308
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Hûn çend mamoste ne di dibistanê de?
 
How many teachers are you in the school?

309
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Em şeş mamoste ne, rêveberek û pênc mamoste.
 
We are six teachers, one principal and five teachers.

310
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Serkeftin ji we re. Tu dixwazî tiştekî bibêjî, berî em
derbas bibin?
 
Success to you. Do you want to say something before we move
on?

311
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Sax bî. Ez jî gotinekê dibêjim, ez azadiyê ji Rêber Apo re
dixwazim,
 
Be healthy. I will say one thing, I wish for freedom for
Leader Apo,

312
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Ji vir heta derkeve. Nabe ko yekî xwedî gelê xwe birêve bibe
girtî bimîne, yanî...
 
From here until he is released. It is not right that someone
who leads his people remains imprisoned, I mean...

313
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Heta niha em tim bindest in. Lê gava ko ew derket, em ê
derkevin ser pê xwe, yanî bes.
 
Until now, we have always been oppressed. But when he is
released, we will stand on our own feet, enough is enough.

314
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Em tune bin destê wan. Ez dibêjim: nemîne xew, gava ku
hişyar bûn, ji xew rabin.
 
We won't fall under their control. I say: don't stay asleep,
when you become aware, wake up from sleep.

315
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Ev gotin e ku ez pêşkêş dikim.
 
These are the words I offer.

316
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Pê ra me hemûya heye, çima çavê we ber na, ba qey te.
 
Everyone is with us, why do you turn a blind eye, what's
wrong?

317
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Dinyayê, em jî kurd in, wekî însanan, mafê me jî lê heye.
 
Oh world, we are Kurds too, like other people, we have
rights here too.

318
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Ji nav baxê gulan, gulum, her gulek bînek heye.
 
From the garden of roses, my rose, every rose has a scent.

319
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Tev mirovan, tev însanan, her gelekî rengek heye.
 
All humans, all people, every nation has a color.

320
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Dest bidin destê hevdu, kes ji kesî ne zêde ye.
 
Hold hands with one another, nobody is better than anyone
else.

321
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Mil bidin milê hevdu, salên xweş pêşiya we ye.
 
Stand shoulder to shoulder, good years are ahead of you.

322
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Gazî dikim li dinyayê, hind zanin ez kî me.
 
I call out to the world, some know who I am.

323
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Xudiyê dîroka kevnar, Serdeşt û Medî me.
 
The owner of ancient history, I am Serdeşt and Mede.

324
00:30:51,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Em rihberê miletan bûn, çima navê me nîne.
 
We were the leaders of nations, why is our name not there?

325
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Ez xebatkarekî jîr im, zane û hiş û bîr im.
 
I am a smart worker, knowledgeable and mindful.

326
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Hez dikim ji dibistanê, bo xizmeta Kurdistanê.
 
I like school, to serve Kurdistan.

327
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Duxwînim bi zimanê xwe, da nas bikim gelê xwe.
 
I read in my language, so I can know my people.

328
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Armanc ne şer, aştî ye, ji bo welat azadî ye.
 
The goal is not war, it is peace, for the freedom of the
homeland.

329
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Çek û pênûs hevalbend in, aw bahavra dewlemend in.
 
The weapon and the pen are allies, together they are rich.

330
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Şeş kargehên guvaştina zeytûnan, kargehekî çêkirina sabûnê,
kargehekî geberînê û bi dehan yekbûnên rastkirina pênêr û
qeymaxa, û sebzeyan li gund hene.
 
There are six olive pressing workshops, a soap-making
workshop, a geberîn workshop, and dozens of units for making
cheese, cream, and vegetables in the village.

331
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Her wiha gelek kes di nava kargehan da dixebitin û debarên
malbata xwe dikin.
 
Also, many people work in the workshops and earn their
living for their families.

332
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Bêhtirî şêniyên gund jin û mêr karmend in. Di saziyên û
dezgehên Rêveberiya Xweser da, li bajarokê Keferşerayê û
bajarê Efrînê dixebitin.
 
Most of the villagers, men and women, are civil servants.
They work in the institutions and agencies of the Autonomous
Administration, in the town of Keferşera and the city of
Afrin.

333
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Ev gund weke gundê rewşenbîran tê binavkirin. Ji ber ku
rêjeya rewşenbîr û xwendevanan ji mêr û jinan di gund da
gelekî bilind e.
 
This village is known as the village of intellectuals.
Because the rate of intellectuals and students among men and
women in the village is very high.

334
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Û bêhtirî sed kesî zanîngeh di beşên curebicure da
qedandine.
 
And more than a hundred people have graduated from
university in various departments.

335
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Hêjayî gotinê ye ku dibistana gund a lîseyê, Yûnîsêfê di
sala 1985an da ava bûye.
 
It is worth mentioning that the village's high school, was
built by UNICEF in 1985.

336
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Û ew yek ji pênc dibistanên Sûriyê ku ji aliyê vê rêxistinê
ve ava bûye.
 
And it is one of the five schools in Syria that was built by
this organization.

337
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Gund ji sala 2013an ta destpêka 2016an rastî êrîşên hemû
grûbên çeteyan hatine.
 
The village faced attacks from all mercenary groups from
2013 to the beginning of 2016.

338
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Lê tu carî wan serê xwe netewandin û li nik hêzên YPG û YPJ
çeperên gundê xwe parastin.
 
But they never bowed their heads and alongside the YPG and
YPJ forces, they defended their village's trenches.

339
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Bi vê awayî ropela pakiş ji berxwedanî û qehremaniyê di
pirtûka dîrokê da nivîsandin.
 
In this way, they wrote a clean page of resistance and
heroism in the history book.

340
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Sê pakrewanên gund hene ku di têkoşîna rizgariya netewî ya
Kurdistanê da şehîd bûne.
 
The village has three martyrs who were martyred in the
national liberation struggle of Kurdistan.

341
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Û bûn e sembola azadî û serfiraziyê.
 
And they became the symbol of freedom and victory.

342
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Wêneyên şehîd Ebo, Sêwas, Amed, Amanos li nava gund
daliqandine.
 
Pictures of martyrs Ebo, Sêwas, Amed, Amanos are hung in the
village.

343
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Komîna gund bi navê şehîd Sêwas hatiye binavkirin.
 
The village commune has been named after martyr Sêwas.

344
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Belê temaşevanan, hêja. Îro em li gundê Me'riskê ne.
 
Yes, esteemed viewers. Today we are in the village of
Me'riskê.

345
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Tiştekî bala min kişand, dimeşim, çavê me li firfirkekê ket.
 
Something caught my attention as I was walking, we saw a
pinwheel.

346
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Merheba ji we ra.
 
Hello to you.

347
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Ehlen û sehlen pismam.
 
Welcome, cousin.

348
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Qewet be.
 
More power to you.

349
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Sax bî ehlen û sehlen.
 
Be well, welcome.

350
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Em te nas bikin?
 
Can we know you?

351
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Mistefa Ehmed ji Me'riskê me.
 
I am Mistefa Ehmed, from Me'riskê.

352
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Wey li ser çavên min. Çavê te sax bin.
 
Oh, upon my eyes. May your eyes be well.

353
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Ev avê dikşîne, ne?
 
Is this drawing water?

354
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Avê dikşîne, li ser bîrê me rakiriye, wilo avê dikşîne.
 
It draws water, we installed it on the well, it draws water
like this.

355
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Em pê darên xwe av didin.
 
We water our trees with it.

356
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Ev ji ber bayê ye? Ev bi qûweta bayê av didê...
 
Is this from the wind? It waters by the power of the wind...

357
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Bi ser bayê dixebite. Erê.
 
It works by the wind. Yes.

358
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Ev bîr ev e ku berê da hebû ye?
 
Was this well here before?

359
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Na me kolaye bîr... Berê bîrek li vê derê hebû, hewa hişk
bû, me ev der bû 2 sal in me kolaye.
 
No, we dug the well... There used to be a well here before,
it was a dry well, we dug this place 2 years ago.

360
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Me firfirka xwe anî, em li ser gund da çêkirin û me ava kir.
Em avê derdixînim, pê daran xwe av didin.
 
We brought our pinwheel, we made it in the village and built
it. We draw water with it, we water our trees with it.

361
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Em birka xwe tijî av dikin, û darên xwe pê av didin.
 
We fill our pool with water, and water our trees with it.

362
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Çiqas zeytûn erdê we hene li vir?
 
How many olives do you have on your land here?

363
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Ev darên zeytûnê hene, darên kerezan hene... çi qas dar
hene, em gişî av didin.
 
We have these olive trees, we have cherry trees... whatever
trees there are, we water them all.

364
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Ev ava ku tu dibêjî ev gund giştî ye... ev av e, ev gund
giştî dibe yan te tenê ye?
 
This water that you say is for the whole village... does the
whole village take this water or is it only yours?

365
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Ê me tenê ye, bes gund giş jê dibe.
 
It is only ours, but the whole village takes from it.

366
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Dema kehrebe tune be, paşî ava wê pir xweş e... miyanê çayê
nîvî gund te ji vir ava xwe dibe.
 
When there is no electricity, and its water is very good...
for tea, half of the village takes their water from here.

367
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Piranî ev bîr a ku dibêjin ava wê kils e... yanî ava wê ji
bo çayê nêtê vexwarinê.
 
Mostly, they say well water is calcified... meaning its
water isn't suitable for drinking for tea.

368
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Yanî ev ava we xweş e?
 
So your water is good?

369
00:34:53,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Rast e, heye wisa ye. Evê pir xweş e ava xwe. Evê kils tê da
tune ye. Ava xwe pir rind e... sihî ye.
 
It's true, there are some like that. Its water is very good.
There is no calcification in it. Its water is very nice...
it's healthy.

370
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Ê gund a din, ê pir kilsî, ava wê netê vexwarin...
 
Yeah, the other village's is very calcified, its house water
isn't suitable for drinking...

371
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Ji malên ra bes av didin. Bes ava me ne pir pak e ava xwe,
gund dûre... ji gund dûre erda xwe wisa ye jiber pak e ava
giştî pir pak e.
 
They only give water to the houses. But our water is not
very clean, its water... it is far from the village. Since
the land is far from the village, it's clean, the general
water is very clean.

372
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Ev çend sal e ev bîr hatiye çêkirin e?
 
How many years has this well been built?

373
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Bîr a kevn, bû sê sal in... Eva, bû 4 sal in, me ev bîr a
kolaye.
 
The old well, it's been three years... This one, it's been 4
years since we dug this well.

374
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Ev firfirka te wek kî çêkiriye ev... ev weke?
 
Who made this pinwheel of yours... this like?

375
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Rehmetê xudê lê be, loqiyê me çêkir.
 
The late, god's mercy on him, he made it.

376
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Min cara nedî, nav gundan min nedî, bes min?
 
I have never seen it before, I didn't see it in the
villages, but me?

377
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Tenê li mintaqeya me Efrînê gişê, tenê ew e... Îlla hebe bes
ev e.
 
Only in our region, in all of Afrin, it's only this... If
there is any, it's only this.

378
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Wekû xetên trênê jî hene?
 
Do we have train lines too?

379
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Belê... li giştî wekû... Li meydanê tune ye na. Bes ev e me
çêkiriye.
 
Yes... in general... There isn't any in the field, no. It's
only this that we made.

380
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Ê bavê te bi xwe çêkir, hîsinkar bû ya çi...
 
Oh, your father made it himself, was he a blacksmith or
what...

381
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Eh he, hîsinkar bû, erê. Bixwe çêkir, hîsinkar bû.
 
Yeah, he was a blacksmith, yes. He made it himself, he was a
blacksmith.

382
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Di kîjan salê de çêkir?
 
In what year did he make it?

383
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Di 80 de, sala 80 de, 82 bû... di van hudûdan de.
 
In the 80s, in the year 80, it was 82... around those
bounds.

384
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Eh, dema te xwe da çêkir... bes tiştekî pir hêja ye... Eh,
elektrîkê jî naxwaze...
 
Uh, when you had it made... but it is something very
valuable... Uh, it doesn't need electricity either...

385
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Kehrebê tiştekî naxwaze... Bes ba hebe û ceme jî. Menteqeya
me ba wê heye. Tem e, kane.
 
It doesn't need electricity or anything... Only if there is
wind and freezing. Our region has its wind. Always, there
is.

386
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Bayê wê tim nizamî ye, rind dixebite.
 
Its wind is always regular, it works well.

387
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Belê, bayê wê... tim nîzamî... rind dixebite, erê.
 
Yes, its wind... always regular... works well, yes.

388
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Em sipas dikin mala te ava be.
 
We thank you, may your house be built.

389
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Em spasiya we dikin, mala te ava be.
 
We thank you, may your house be built.

390
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Di hezîrana 2013an da artêşa Azad, Cebhet el Nusra, DAIŞ û
rêxistinên din, êrîşî gund kirin.
 
In June 2013, the Free Syrian Army, Al-Nusra Front, ISIS,
and other organizations attacked the village.

391
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Û xelkê gund bi alîkariya YPG û YPJ ketin sengerên şer.
 
And the people of the village entered the battle trenches
with the help of YPG and YPJ.

392
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Ji sedî 80yî jinên gund di malên xwe da neman.
 
80 percent of the women of the village did not stay in their
homes.

393
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Û çeka namûsê hildan.
 
And they took up the weapon of honor.

394
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Li kêleka mêran li dijî hêzên dijmin şer kirin.
 
They fought alongside the men against the enemy forces.

395
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Çeteyan hemû çekên giran li dijî gund bi kar anîn. Nêzîkî
sed top avêtin gund.
 
The mercenaries used all heavy weapons against the village.
They fired nearly a hundred shells at the village.

396
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Û şer do sê rojan berdewam kir.
 
And the war continued for two or three days.

397
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Di encamê de piştî şehadeta çar lehengên YPGê, çete reviyan.
 
In the end, after the martyrdom of four YPG heroes, the
mercenaries fled.

398
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Û nekarîbûn têkevin gund.
 
And they could not enter the village.

399
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Û şervanên YPGê bi pêş ketin.
 
And the YPG fighters advanced.

400
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Piştre hemû xelkê gund vegeriyan cih û warên xwe.
 
Afterwards, all the people of the village returned to their
places and homes.

401
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Û naha bi kêf û xweşî jiyana xwe berdewam dikin.
 
And now, with joy and happiness, they continue their lives.

402
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Merhaba jinbapê.
 
Welcome sister.

403
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Ehlen û sehlen.
 
Welcome.

404
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Em a nasbikin destpêkê?
 
Can we get to know you first?

405
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Navê min Xalîde ye.
 
My name is Xalîde.

00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Ser çavan... dayê em navê te nasbikin?

It's Fîdan.

00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Ser çavê min... Dayê em dest pê bikin, da dest pê bikin.
E... we behsa xwarinekî kir, wekî xwarinekî bêtaybet di
gundê me da çêdikin.
 
Upon my eyes... Mother let's start, so we can start. Uh...
you mentioned a food, like a special food made in our
village.

409
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Erê.
 
Yes.

410
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Kanê tu bikarî navê wê xwarinê bêjî ji me ra. Navê xwarinê?
 
Can you tell us the name of that food. Name of the food?

411
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Ev xwarin a... navê xwarinê kebab keraz e.
 
This food... the name of the food is cherry kebab.

412
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Em goşt diqelînin, em didin... em nanê xwe jî diqelînin...
di safînin...
 
We roast the meat, we add it... we roast our bread too... we
strain it...

413
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Û em goz û behîvan jî diqelînin, didinê... û em esîrê...
kerazan jî... e xweş tenê..
 
and we also roast walnuts and almonds, we add them... and we
juice... the cherries too... it is very nice..

414
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Yanî avên din, tu av nadeyê nê?
 
So you don't add any other water, right?

415
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Na av e na. Me'ne xusûsî hev e. Me'ne şerabe ye û me'ne leçe
ye ev o, em pê çêdikin.
 
No, no water. I mean specifically it's like a wine and like
a syrup this is, we make it with it.

416
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Yanî baba kerazan e, ev xwarin a we jî bi kerazan e.
 
So it's cherry's essence, this food of yours is also with
cherries.

417
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,000
Ê lê bi keraz bû. Nîştî me kir ez av e çêkim. Erê, rast e.
 
Yes, it was with cherries. We settled, I made the juice.
Yes, that's right.

418
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Ev xwarin a ji zû da çêdikin yan we dema kir da çêdikin?
 
Have you been making this food for a long time or when did
you start making it?

419
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Çaxê ku keraz di cem me çêbûn nê em çêdikin.
 
When cherries grew with us, then we make it.

420
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Ê lê berê mane nizanî bû. Çemê me çandin, gihaştin. Û em hîn
bûn me çêkir.
 
Yes, but before we didn't know. Our river, they planted,
they ripened. And we learned, we made it.

421
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Ev xwarina bêtaybet li ku derê çêdikin, yan kîjan bajar da
çêdikin?
 
Where specifically is this food made, or in which cities do
they make it?

422
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Ev xwarina Rîha çêdike, Heleb jî çêdikin. Rîha, ew jî Heleb
e. Rîha meşhûr e bi kerazan, ew jî... Î ev Helebî ye û ev
Rîhayî ye.
 
This food is made in Urfa, they make it in Aleppo too. Urfa
and Aleppo it is. Urfa is famous for cherries, that too...
Yes this is Aleppan and this is Urfan.

423
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Yanî ew jî eynî vê xwarinê wisa çêdikin?
 
So they also make this food exactly like this?

424
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Erê... de me ji wan ra kiriye.
 
Yes... we made it for them.

425
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Kanê ka yek yek bêje, ev nan e te qelandin?
 
Say them one by one, is this the bread you roasted?

426
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Ev nan e, me qelandin. Vêca em davêjine nava sehnê.
 
This is bread, we roasted it. Now we put it in the plate.

427
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Em vêga jî goşt têkin. Ev jî goşt e... erê. Me qelandî û em
davêjinê.
 
Now we will put the meat in. This is meat... yes. We roasted
it and we throw it in.

428
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Niha jî, em ê ava keraza tê kin e.
 
Now, we will pour in the cherry juice.

429
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Piştî wê...
 
After this...

430
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Piştî wê, em pextenûsê têkine.
 
After this, we add parsley.

431
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Ev jî behîv û goz.
 
This is almonds and walnuts.

432
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Hev a çi ne, me qewirme dît.
 
What are these, we saw the braised meat.

433
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Hev ji min qewirandin.
 
I roasted these too.

434
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Û hev jî kişane nanê da iser.
 
And this is poured over the bread.

435
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Hev a hana cahiz bûn.
 
These ones were ready.

436
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Na ev hazir bûn.
 
No, these were ready.

437
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Ev hazir bûn. Eva hana ya ku we ra xwar dade.
 
These were ready. This is the one that you will eat.

438
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Te destpêkê heta çi qewirandin? ...Te di nav hev da kirî
qewirandin?
 
What did you roast at first? ...Did you roast them together?

439
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Min kir qewirme, erê.
 
I roasted them, yes.

440
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Mîsal ev goşt qewirme, paşê min nan qewirandin.
 
For example, this meat is braised, then I roasted the bread.

441
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Uh huh.
 
Uh huh.

442
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Paşê jî min goz û behîv qewirandin.
 
Then I also roasted walnuts and almonds.

443
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Uh huh.
 
Uh huh.

444
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Û min anî... min anî hana kir. Bextê me zêxwe ra jî hûr kir.
 
And I brought... I brought it and prepared it like this.
Luckily, I also chopped it for ourselves.

445
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Destê te sax bin.
 
Bless your hands.

446
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Wê jî sax bin, saheta we xwaş.
 
Bless yours too, good health to you.

447
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Spas.
 
Thank you.

448
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Spas te ra dayê.
 
Thank you, mother.

449
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Em werin cem te jî.
 
Let's come to you as well.

450
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Dayê em werin cem te.
 
Mother, let's come to you.

451
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Te jî...
 
You also...

452
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Te ji bo çi hazir kiriye?
 
What did you prepare?

453
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Min leçer hazir kiriye. Leçerê kêrazê.
 
I prepared leçer. Cherry leçer.

454
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Û çawa çêdikin, ka hinekî ji me ra bêje.
 
And how do they make it, tell us a little bit.

455
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Kêrazê leçer, evê mize, tirş e.
 
Leçer cherry, this is sour, it's tart.

456
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Ne ji yê xwarinê ye.
 
It's not the one for eating.

457
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Emê wînin werin dendikên wî derxînin.
 
We will bring it and remove its seeds.

458
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Emê kîlok şikir, kîlok û nîv kêrazê...
 
We add a kilo of sugar, a kilo and a half of cherries...

459
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Uh huh.
 
Uh huh.

460
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Û kîlok av.
 
And a kilo of water.

461
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Yanî emê ewa bikin.
 
Meaning we'll do this.

462
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Emê şerbetê xwe lê çêkin.
 
We will make our syrup.

463
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Kel vê ket, ewê kêrazê xwe têkinê.
 
Once it boils, we will add our cherries.

464
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Dê sê kela pêxînin...
 
We'll bring it to a boil three times...

465
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Û emê lê genî kin, ber rojê. Heftake ber rojê.
 
And we will leave it in the sun. For a week in the sun.

466
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Carekê, du caran têkvedin,
 
We stir it once or twice,

467
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Leçer çêdibe.
 
The leçer is done.

468
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Dema xwa ye?
 
Is it its season now?

469
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Ê, dema xwa ye biharê, wexta ji vira hate...
 
Yes, its season is in the spring, when it comes from over
here...

470
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,000
Wîna çêkin.
 
You make it.

471
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Bes yê xwarinê nabe. Ev xususî darê gundî yê kêrazê heye.
 
But it's not the one for eating. This is a special cherry
tree from the village.

472
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Evê leçer heye.
 
It has this leçer.

473
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Mize.
 
It's sour.

474
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Û şerabê gundî jî, dîsa ew jî nefsî yê kêrazê...
 
And the village syrup as well, again it's the same as the
cherry one...

475
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Em diguvêşin, sîzakê dixin, mist didin...
 
We squeeze it, put it in a strainer, and press it...

476
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Şerbeta gundî, sê çar kîlo şikir, sê çar kîlo şerbeta
gundî...
 
Village syrup, three or four kilos of sugar, three or four
kilos of village syrup...

477
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Lê hev dixin.
 
We mix it together.

478
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Kelkê pê dixin, û didin ber rojê dîsa ew jî.
 
Bring it to a boil, and leave that in the sun again too.

479
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Ew jî dema xwa ye? Paşê wîna çêdikin?
 
Is that also in its season? Do you make it afterwards?

480
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Bi hefteyek çêdibe. Bi hefteyek çêdibe.
 
It's ready in a week. It's ready in a week.

481
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Û paşê ha vî leçerê kêrazo, hîn em dikin mûj jî... hişk
dikin, vayê leçer...
 
And then this cherry leçer, we also make it into a mûj... we
dry it, this leçer...

482
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Dikin mûj jî.
 
Make it into a mûj too.

483
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Mûjê xwa pir xwaş dibe.
 
Its mûj becomes very tasty.

484
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Um hum.
 
Um hum.

485
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Ev mûj hema nabin ba we ne?
 
Do you not have this mûj with you?

486
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Ê wallahî... nemane, zivistan xilas bûn, nemane.
 
Oh, by God... there's none left, it ran out in the winter,
there's none left.

487
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Em înşellah ji vira û wê de çêkin.
 
God willing, we will make it from here on out.

488
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Înşellah. Ev jî, te got şerab e?
 
God willing. This too, you said is syrup?

489
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Eva jî şerab e, erê.
 
This is also syrup, yes.

490
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Şeraba gundiye, îşte tirş dibe.
 
It's village syrup, you see it becomes sour.

491
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Em şerabê bitenê venaxwin, leçerê bitenê venaxwin...
 
We don't drink the syrup alone, we don't drink the leçer
alone...

492
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Vê dixin, paşî çêdikin pê avî, buzî çêdikin, vê dixin.
 
We put this in, then we prepare it with water and ice, we
put this in.

493
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Um hum.
 
Um hum.

494
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Yanî şûnê qazozê, şûnê çayê, şûnê ew qehwe...
 
I mean, instead of soda, instead of tea, instead of
coffee...

495
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Şûnê şerabê purteqalê de ra... yanî gîşka em ew dikin
îstîmal dikin.
 
Instead of orange juice... I mean, we use this for all of
them.

496
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Kanî dîkê ji me ra têk ve, em mîş bikin bibînin.
 
Well, pour some for us, let's taste it and see.

497
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Me têk ve ku, hun jî bibînin.
 
I'll pour it so you can see too.

498
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Piştî vê vîn avê têk ne?
 
After this, do you add water to it?

499
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Bûzê jî dikinê.
 
We add ice to it as well.

500
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Bûzê jî em dikinê.
 
We add ice to it as well.

501
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Ê bi rengê xwe jî, wexta we behs dikir we çêdikî...
 
Well, with its color too, as you were mentioning, you make
it...

502
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Em çêdikin.
 
We make it.

503
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Û vî rengî.
 
And this color.

504
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Ê vî rengî.
 
Yes, this color.

505
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Ji hefkê, sê fîtah be, keler sê kel vê keve, û ba rojê
yekşê.
 
From the jar, if it's open, it should boil three times, and
be in the sun for a week.

506
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Bi hefteyokê, xîlalî hefteyekê, leçer xelas dibe, digire
qewamê xwe digire.
 
In a week, over the course of a week, the leçer is finished,
it reaches its consistency.

507
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Û kêra-- ewê ji şerabê jî, tekî kela pê xînî,
 
And the cherr-- the syrup too, you just bring it to a boil,

508
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Çêkî û bidî ber rojêd, ew jî xilalî pêş şeş roja, ew jî têr
dibe,
 
Make it and leave it in the sun, over the course of five or
six days, that is ready too,

509
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Û digire qewamê xwe.
 
And it reaches its consistency.

510
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Belê temaşevanên hêja,
 
Yes, dear viewers,

511
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Li vir jî, em gihîştin dawiya bernameya xwe.
 
Here too, we have reached the end of our program.

512
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Îro jî, me gundê Me'reskê derbas kir.
 
Today too, we passed through the village of Me'reskê.

513
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Me hin der û dorê gundê Me'reskê nas kir, me taybetmendiyên
gund nas kir.
 
We got to know some of the surroundings of the village of
Me'reskê, we got to know the characteristics of the village.

514
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Lı vır jî, em xatirê xwe ji we dixwazin.
 
Here too, we bid you farewell.

515
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Heta hefteyeke din, em ê dîsa bi hev re bin.
 
Until next week, we will be together again.

516
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,000
