[00:09:36]Um Ahmad: I don't know Arabic!

[00:09:37]Host: You don't know how to translate it.

[00:13:14]Host: There is a great historical connection between Al-Ghazawiyya, Burj Abdalo, and the village of Burj Haidar located at the top of Mount Simeon (Jabal Lelun), which is situated to the east of the village of Kafr Zeit, and the history of Kafr Zeit located on a limestone plateau in the Joumah or Joum plain.

[00:13:36]Host: To talk about the history of Kafr Zeit village, we will be joined by Mr. Engineer Mustafa Jneid, one of the sons of this village who is interested in its history.

[00:13:46]Host: Greetings, Mr. Mustafa.

[00:13:49]Mustafa: Welcome, Mr. Mustafa.

[00:13:51]Host: May God give you health.

[00:13:52]Mustafa: We are honored by you and your presence on Halab Today TV, we are honored and you are very welcome.

[00:13:57]Host: May God honor you, let's walk this way a bit.

[00:13:59]Mustafa: Let's go, please go ahead, sir.

[00:14:00]Host: Today, right now, I think we are standing in the oldest neighborhood in the village.

[00:14:05]Mustafa: Yes, yes, in the middle of the village. Previously, this village, Kafr Zeit, belonged to the Afrin region located in the Joum plain.

[00:14:15]Mustafa: The population of Kafr Zeit consists of Syrian Kurds, historically since ancient times, since our ancestors.

[00:14:24]Host: How old is the village?

[00:14:25]Mustafa: The current demographic structure in the village consists of two tribes or clans; the Danadila (the Khastiyan branch) and the Pirkan.

[00:14:43]Mustafa: Previously, 100 years ago, this village used to be Yazidi.

[00:14:48]Host: Yes.

[00:14:49]Mustafa: They were Yazidis, and 100 years ago they gradually converted to Islam. One part converted 100 years ago, the second part converted 40 or 50 up to 70 years ago, and a remaining part of about 7 to 8 houses are still Yazidi.

[00:15:07]Host: Well, before that, 100 years ago, what was the village like?

[00:15:11]Mustafa: 100 years ago, the same population was here but on a smaller scale. Meaning the stage of the ancient inhabitants 100 or 150 years ago was a nomadic lifestyle.

[00:15:28]Host: Moving around.

[00:15:29]Mustafa: Moving around as shepherds. Following their livestock, sheep, and rivers. Whenever they were close to a location with natural pastures, they would settle there.

[00:15:45]Host: Where did they come from?

[00:15:46]Mustafa: One part of the village (the Khastiyan) came from Mount Simeon (Jabal Lelun), following their relatives who were there.

[00:15:53]Host: In Burj Haidar.

[00:15:54]Mustafa: Yes, in Burj Haidar. The second part came from the village of Sinka, who are the Pirkan.

[00:15:58]Host: Where did the Pirkan come from?

[00:16:00]Mustafa: One family, a family that came from Sinka, which belongs to the Shikaki area in the Sharran sub-district, 150 years ago, just one family.

[00:16:13]Mustafa: The second family came from Mount Simeon and settled here. Currently, the demographic structure makes up about 150 to 200 houses in the village, with a population exceeding 1000 people.

[00:16:29]Host: Well, I asked you about 150 years ago before the Yazidis came here. I read about the existence of some Roman ruins, caves, connected to the course of the Afrin River.

[00:16:44]Mustafa: Yes, yes. As for the village of Kafr Zeit, it was an old ruin 500 years ago or more.

[00:16:50]Mustafa: The name of the village has existed since the Syriac era, as it is a Syriac word meaning "olive farm".

[00:16:58]Host: "Kafr" means farm.

[00:16:59]Mustafa: "Kafr" is a Syriac word meaning farm, and "Zeit" refers to the olive farm.

[00:17:05]Mustafa: It is derived from the fact that this village, since ancient times, for 500 years or more, specialized in cultivating olives and pressing oil, so it was called the Olive Farm or Kafr Zeit. Even in our modern era, this name still exists, it is called Kafr Zeit.

[00:17:25]Host: So the name is linked to olives.

[00:17:27]Mustafa: The name is linked to olives.

[00:17:28]Host: Is there an old olive press?

[00:17:29]Mustafa: There used to be an old press close to us, but it is no longer there, as modern technology has replaced it. You see, it doesn't serve the current purpose with the abundance of olive trees.

[00:17:46]Mustafa: In the past, the number of olive trees was very small, the agriculture was rainfed (barley, wheat, vetch, lentils, and grains). Olive crops expanded greatly, and agricultural investment became a vertical investment to meet the needs with the growing population.

[00:18:09]Mustafa: Previously, the investment was horizontal, as the population was small. With the population increase per unit area, people think of modern ways to secure more resources.

[00:18:24]Host: Well, let me talk a bit about the historical relationship between Kafr Zeit, Burj Abdalo, Al-Ghazawiyya, and the villages located on the edges of the Afrin River in the Joum plain.

[00:18:40]Mustafa: Yes, we are neighbors first, and there are relatives through women, which is the most important thing, you see, intermarriage.

[00:18:49]Mustafa: The process of intermarriage among the population, among these surrounding villages, increases kinship; the intermarriage process specifically increases kinship.

[00:19:00]Host: Between you and your neighbors?

[00:19:01]Mustafa: Between Burj Haidar, Al-Ghazawiyya, Burj Abdalo, Iskan, Shadir, these villages surrounding us. It increases kinship, and the kinship is still there.

[00:19:11]Mustafa: We attend each other's weddings, we help each other with some matters, with some problems.

[00:19:16]Host: Was there a shared history in the past? 500 years ago?

[00:19:20]Mustafa: Historically, of course. 200 years ago, considering we said this village was a ruin, due to their beliefs, the graves of the dead in this village from the Pirkan were buried in Shadir.

[00:19:37]Host: Why?

[00:19:38]Mustafa: Because there is an old cemetery there, an old Yazidi Zoroastrian cemetery.

[00:19:43]Host: What distinguishes Yazidi graves?

[00:19:46]Mustafa: There is no distinction, it's the same thing, the same, what do you call it, the same method.

[00:19:53]Host: From what I understood, it's the Yazidi cross?

[00:19:57]Mustafa: The Zoroastrian cross.

[00:20:00]Interviewee: The Zoroastrian cross, in the shape of a plus sign.

[00:20:04]Interviewee: The sides are equal, which indicates...

[00:20:07]Interviewer: Behind it is a sun.

[00:20:08]Interviewee: Behind it is a sun.

[00:20:10]Interviewee: Four poles, meaning four sides for this cross...

[00:20:14]Interviewee: It indicates the four elements of life,

[00:20:17]Interviewee: Because Zoroaster sanctified earth, fire, air, and water.

[00:20:23]Interviewer: They are the four elements of life.

[00:20:26]Interviewee: Exactly.

[00:20:27]Interviewer: One last question remains...

[00:20:29]Interviewer: I mean, the relationship of this village, Kafr Zeit, its Kurdish social components with the Arabs?

[00:20:38]Interviewee: We have a shared culture between us.

[00:20:40]Interviewee: For example, we had, I mean our neighbors, our relationship with the Umayrat Arabs... is present and ancient.

[00:20:48]Interviewer: Where are the Umayrat located?

[00:20:50]Interviewee: In Afrin and around, for example, Kafr... Frieriye, Bani Zaid.

[00:20:54]Interviewer: Frieriye.

[00:20:55]Interviewee: Kafr... for example Kawkabe, Basouta...

[00:21:00]Interviewee: Some of them are located in Al-Burj... I mean, our relationship is good. You see?

[00:21:05]Interviewer: Yes.

[00:21:05]Interviewee: No one distinguishes that this is Kurdish or this is Umayri, you see?

[00:21:09]Interviewer: Is there intermarriage, affinity?

[00:21:10]Interviewee: There is intermarriage between the Umayrat and the Kurds.

[00:21:13]Interviewee: Because the Umayrat are older, ancient...

[00:21:16]Interviewee: In relation to, I mean... those mixed with the Kurds in the Kurd Dagh region - Afrin...

[00:21:21]Interviewee: Ancient, older than Bani Zaid or Al-Bobanna.

[00:21:26]Interviewer: I mean, their presence is almost with the presence of the Kurds here, so there was an affinity relationship, intermarriage relationship, shared work relationship...

[00:21:31]Interviewee: Yes, yes.

[00:21:32]Interviewer: A shared history.

[00:21:33]Interviewee: Yes, a shared history and a shared culture.

[00:21:35]Interviewer: And shared coexistence.

[00:21:36]Interviewee: And shared coexistence.

[00:21:37]Interviewer: Great. May God give you health, Mr. Mustafa.

[00:21:39]Interviewee: Welcome, Mr. Mustafa... We welcome you once again.

[00:21:42]Interviewee: We thank you for your good and beautiful interview. And you are beloved.

[00:21:46]Interviewer: God bless you, sir.

[00:21:48]Interviewee: May God keep you safe.

[00:21:54]Interviewer: A significant historical connection between the nature of the geographical region where Kafr Zeit is located,

[00:22:00]Interviewer: And the style of construction in which it was built.

[00:22:05]Interviewer: As most of these houses were built from the stone quarry located in the east of this village,

[00:22:12]Interviewer: And it also had a connection with the course of the Afrin River located south of the village.

[00:22:17]Interviewer: To shed light on the construction style in the village, we will have with us in this segment...

[00:22:22]Interviewer: The village mukhtar, Zuhair Aziz, to talk to us about the forms of construction there.

[00:22:28]Interviewer: May God give you health, Mukhtar.

[00:22:29]Mukhtar: May God give you health, welcome sir.

[00:22:30]Interviewer: Now we are in front of what is probably the oldest house here.

[00:22:33]Mukhtar: We have about four or five old houses currently here,

[00:22:38]Mukhtar: And the owner of this house is named Nasir Darwish, deceased.

[00:22:42]Mukhtar: It has been abandoned for about 15 years. After he died...

[00:22:46]Interviewer: Is this the oldest house here?

[00:22:48]Mukhtar: This is the oldest house here in our village.

[00:22:49]Interviewer: How old is it, I mean?

[00:22:50]Mukhtar: It is about 100 years old.

[00:22:52]Interviewer: 100 years?

[00:22:52]Mukhtar: Yes.

[00:22:53]Interviewer: Okay... now this rock here is what?

[00:22:56]Mukhtar: This is chalky rock, east of the village, we have a quarry.

[00:23:00]Interviewer: Let's stop here...

[00:23:01]Mukhtar: They go and cut the stone... and bring it and build with it.

[00:23:06]Mukhtar: And the building is made of stone and mud.

[00:23:10]Mukhtar: And roofs... its roofs are wooden pillars, and their roofs are dirt.

[00:23:15]Interviewer: Dirt.

[00:23:16]Mukhtar: Yes.

[00:23:17]Interviewer: What is written here?

[00:23:22]Mukhtar: "Mashallah."

[00:23:25]Interviewer: 1958.

[00:23:26]Mukhtar: 1958.

[00:23:29]Interviewer: Mashallah.

[00:23:31]Mukhtar: The builder is named Marwan Ibn Hasan.

[00:23:34]Interviewer: Marwan Ibn Hasan, this is from...

[00:23:35]Mukhtar: From Barad.

[00:23:36]Interviewer: From Barad... Yes, this is in... I mean in... the year of unity, between Syria and Egypt.

[00:23:39]Mukhtar: Yes, yes.

[00:23:40]Interviewer: At that time, were all the houses built this way?

[00:23:42]Mukhtar: Yes, all the houses, mostly they were made of mud.

[00:23:45]Mukhtar: We had four or five houses that were distinguished by stone.

[00:23:48]Interviewer: I want to ask you, were all the houses built in this way, I mean, in front of them a courtyard, with wide spaces?

[00:23:53]Mukhtar: All of them, there were no fences nor anything.

[00:23:56]Mukhtar: Only the rooms were present, and in front of them all empty spaces.

[00:23:59]Interviewer: Great... This is a mulberry tree?

[00:24:00]Mukhtar: This is an old mulberry tree, yes.

[00:24:02]Interviewer: The mulberry tree... I mean, is it connected to the presence of water?

[00:24:07]Interviewer: I mean, we are close here to the course of the Afrin River.

[00:24:09]Interviewer: And therefore, I mean, I notice that there is a spread of the mulberry tree.

[00:24:12]Mukhtar: We have surface water for the village.

[00:24:14]Mukhtar: And the trees grow... they grow in the village, I mean.

[00:24:18]Interviewer: I see. What is this here? Let's see here...

[00:24:22]Mukhtar: Can we go up here?

[00:24:23]Interviewer: Let's go up.

[00:24:27]Interviewer: What is this here? Is this a water source?

[00:24:30]Mukhtar: This was a water source, previously we had water... they had installed a faucet, they used to wash and do dishes here.

[00:24:38]Interviewer: I mean, where does the water come from?

[00:24:39]Mukhtar: This water used to come from Ghazawiya in the past.

[00:24:44]Interviewer: From Ghazawiya?

[00:24:45]Mukhtar: Yes.

[00:24:45]Interviewer: Via canals, I mean?

[00:24:46]Mukhtar: They are canals... And we had old wells.

[00:24:50]Mukhtar: Filled in here, there used to be a well here... here... the well is filled in.

[00:24:55]Mukhtar: They didn't use it. So they filled it in, now it doesn't exist.

[00:24:59]Interviewer: I mean, this water used to come from Ghazawiya through canals, and were they sources...

[00:25:04]Mukhtar: By pumping to the village.

[00:25:06]Interviewer: By pumping to the village, this is for all the people of the village? Not for... not for the family only that is here?

[00:25:09]Mukhtar: Of course, this was for the people of the village, everyone would come fill here and go.

[00:25:12]Interviewer: Wow. Until when did this continue?

[00:25:14]Mukhtar: This continued until 2011... 2011.

[00:25:21]Interviewer: And when did it start? I mean, for how many years have you been drinking from Ghazawiya?

[00:25:25]Mukhtar: By God, from Ghazawiya, it's been about 20 years for us.

[00:25:29]Interviewer: 20 years...

[00:25:30]Mukhtar: Yes.

[00:25:31]Interviewer: When did the form of building change, from this form, to the new building, I mean the modern one, stone and cement and such?

[00:25:39]Mukhtar: By God, the building started in the year 1990.

[00:25:44]Interviewer: 1990?

[00:25:45]Mukhtar: 1990, the form of building started to change and they used stone and cement.

[00:25:51]Interviewer: What is the reason, why?

[00:25:53]Mukhtar: The reason... the houses were made of mud from stone...

[00:25:59]Mukhtar: It would rain and these houses would deteriorate...

[00:26:03]Mukhtar: This mud would be removed from them. The pillars were too old, worms would enter them and they would break...

[00:26:09]Mukhtar: So they used cement roofs.

[00:26:13]Interviewer: Cement.

[00:26:14]Mukhtar: Yes.

[00:26:14]Interviewer: May God give you health, Mukhtar... Thank you.

[00:26:16]Mukhtar: May God give you health, goodbye, welcome... thanks to you.

[00:26:18]Interviewer: God bless you.

[00:26:35]Interviewer: Who lived in this region and defied nature, planted olives, and lived in it.

[00:13:14]Host: هناك ارتباط تاريخي كبير بين الغزاوية وبرج عبدالو وقرية برج حيدر الموجودة في أعلى جبل ليلون، والتي تقع بالجهة الشرقية من قرية كفرزيت، وبين تاريخ كفرزيت الواقعة فوق هضبة كلسية في منطقة سهل جومه أو الجوم.

[00:13:36]Host: للحديث عن تاريخ قرية كفرزيت، سيكون معنا الأستاذ المهندس مصطفى جنيد، أحد أبناء هذه القرية والمهتم بتاريخها.

[00:13:46]Host: تحياتي أستاذ مصطفى.

[00:13:49]Mustafa: أهلاً وسهلاً أستاذ مصطفى.

[00:13:51]Host: الله يعطيك العافية.

[00:13:52]Mustafa: نتشرف بكم وبحضوركم بقناة حلب اليوم، نتشرف فيكم وأهلاً وسهلاً وميت مرحبا.

[00:13:57]Host: الله يكرمك، خلينا نمشي هيك شوي.

[00:13:59]Mustafa: يلا تفضل أستاذ.

[00:14:00]Host: نحن اليوم، هلق الان واقفين بظن في الحارة الأقدم في القرية.

[00:14:05]Mustafa: نعم نعم، في منتصف القرية. سابقاً إنه هذه القرية كفرزيت تتبع لمنطقة عفرين الواقعة في سهل الجوم.

[00:14:15]Mustafa: المكون السكاني بقرية كفرزيت، أكراد سوريين قديماً منذ الأزل، منذ أجدادنا.

[00:14:24]Host: قديش عمر القرية؟

[00:14:25]Mustafa: التركيب السكاني الحالي بالقرية يعني متكون من قبيلتين أو من عشيرتين؛ الدنادلة (فخذ الخاستيان) والبيركان.

[00:14:43]Mustafa: سابقاً هذه القرية منذ 100 عام كانوا إيزيديين.

[00:14:48]Host: نعم.

[00:14:49]Mustafa: كانوا إيزيديين ومن 100 عام أسلموا تباعاً. قسم أسلموا منذ 100 عام، القسم الثاني منذ 40 أو 50 حتى 70 عام، وقسم باقٍ بعض البيوت حوالي 7 إلى 8 بيوت باقين إيزيديين.

[00:15:07]Host: طيب، قبل ما يكونوا، قبل 100 سنة شو كانت الضيعة؟

[00:15:11]Mustafa: قبل 100 سنة، نفس السكان موجودين بس نمط أصغر. يعني مرحلة السكان القديمين قبل 100 سنة أو 150 عاماً كانوا ضمن نمط بدوي.

[00:15:28]Host: متنقلين.

[00:15:29]Mustafa: متنقلين رعاة. يتبعون المواشي والأغنام والأنهار. والقريبين من يعني أي موقع يوجد فيها مراعي طبيعية ينزلوا فيه.

[00:15:45]Host: منين اجوا هنه؟

[00:15:46]Mustafa: قسم من القرية (الخاستيان) اجوا من جبل ليلون، كيف شلون، يعني على أقربائهم كانوا هنيك.

[00:15:53]Host: ببرج حيدر.

[00:15:54]Mustafa: إي ببرج حيدر. القسم الثاني من قرية سينكا، هنه البيركان.

[00:15:58]Host: منين اجوا البيركان؟

[00:16:00]Mustafa: عائلة وحدة، عائلة اجت من سينكا تابعة لمنطقة شكاكي ناحية شران، منذ 150 عاماً، عائلة وحدة.

[00:16:13]Mustafa: العائلة الثانية إجت من جبل ليلون ونزلوا هون. صارت التركيبة السكانية حالياً تعداد القرية حوالي 150 إلى 200 بيت، التعداد السكاني يتجاوز 1000 نسمة.

[00:16:29]Host: طيب أنا سألتك قبل 150 سنة قبل ما يجوا الإيزيديين لهون، يعني في أنا قرأت عن وجود بعض الآثار الرومانية، مغر ومغر يعني مرتبطة بمجرى نهر عفرين.

[00:16:44]Mustafa: نعم نعم، بالنسبة لقرية كفرزيت كانت خربة قديماً منذ 500 عام أو أكثر.

[00:16:50]Mustafa: اسم القرية موجود منذ العصر السرياني، كونها كلمة سريانية بمعنى مزرعة الزيتون.

[00:16:58]Host: كفر مزرعة.

[00:16:59]Mustafa: كفر كلمة سريانية بمعنى مزرعة، والزيت بمعنى مزرعة الزيتون.

[00:17:05]Mustafa: يعني مشتقة كون أن هذه القرية منذ الأزل منذ 500 عام أو أكثر تخصصها بزراعة الزيتون وعصر الزيت، سميت بمزرعة الزيتون أو كفرزيت. وحتى عصرنا الحديث ما زال هذا الاسم موجود، اسمها كفرزيت.

[00:17:25]Host: إذن الاسم مربوط بالزيتون.

[00:17:27]Mustafa: الاسم مربوط بالزيتون.

[00:17:28]Host: في معصرة قديمة؟

[00:17:29]Mustafa: في معصرة كانت قديمة قريبة علينا وحالياً غير موجودة، كون التقنية الحديثة حلت مكانها. شايف شلون، لا تفي بالغرض الموجود حالياً يعني بكثرة أشجار الزيتون.

[00:17:46]Mustafa: سابقاً عدد أشجار الزيتون كانت قليلة جداً، الزراعات كانت بعلية (الشعير وقمح وجلبان وعدس وحبوب). توسعت محاصيل الزيتون بشكل كبير، وصار استثمار الزراعة استثمار رأسي بما يفي الغرض يعني مع تزايد السكان.

[00:18:09]Mustafa: سابقاً كان الاستثمار أفقي، كون عدد السكان كان قليل. ازدياد السكان على وحدة المساحة، الإنسان يفكر بطرق حديثة لتأمين المادة أكثر.

[00:18:24]Host: طيب، خليني أحكي شوية عن العلاقة التاريخية بين كفرزيت وبين برج عبدالو والغزاوية والقرى الموجودة على أطراف مجرى نهر عفرين بسهل الجوم.

[00:18:40]Mustafa: نعم، نحن كجيران أولاً، وفي أقرباء قربة نسوان، هي أهم شغلة شايف شلون، التزاوج.

[00:18:49]Mustafa: عملية تزاوج بين السكان، بين هالقرى المحيطة، بيزيد القربى، عملية التزاوج بالذات بتزيد القربى.

[00:19:00]Host: بينكم وبين جيرانكم؟

[00:19:01]Mustafa: بين برج حيدر، بين غزاوية، بين برج عبدالو، بين إيسكان، بين شادير، هالقرى المحيطة فينا. يزيد القربى وما زال القربى موجودة يعني.

[00:19:11]Mustafa: نحضر أعراس بعضنا، نساعد بعضنا ببعض الأمور، ببعض المشاكل.

[00:19:16]Host: كان في تاريخ مشترك قديماً؟ قبل 500 سنة؟

[00:19:20]Mustafa: تاريخياً، طبعاً، قبل 200 عام كان باعتبار قلنا إن هالقرية كانت خربة، المعتقدات كان قبور الموتى بهالقرية من البيركان يدفنوه بشادير.

[00:19:37]Host: ليش؟

[00:19:38]Mustafa: كون هنيك مقبرة قديمة، مقبرة إيزيدية قديمة زرادشتية.

[00:19:43]Host: شو اللي بيميز القبور الإيزيدية؟

[00:19:46]Mustafa: ما في تمييز بين، نفس الشيء، نفس الـ شو اسمه، نفس الطريقة.

[00:19:53]Host: حسب ما فهمت إنه الصليب الإيزيدي؟

[00:19:57]Mustafa: الصليب الزرادشتي.
