Me'serkê

[00:01:09]Host: Yes, dear viewers, this time we have headed to the village of Ma'arske.

[00:01:14]Host: The village of Ma'arske is also connected to the district of Shera.

[00:01:18]Host: When one wants to enter the Kurd Dagh, one first passes through the village of Ma'arske.

[00:01:24]Host: The nature of this village is also very beautiful.

[00:01:26]Host: Now is also the time for cherries.

[00:01:28]Host: We wanted to pass through during this month,

[00:01:30]Host: so let's go to the village of Ma'arske together and get to know it.

[00:02:12]Host: Teacher Memduh, hello, how are you?

[00:02:14]Man: Welcome, you are very welcome.

[00:02:17]Man: You are in the village of Ma'arske.

[00:02:18]Man: We welcome you and we thank you.

[00:02:22]Host: Thanks, we have entered the village of Ma'arske today and first we came to you.

[00:02:27]Host: We wanted to learn some information about agriculture.

[00:02:30]Host: What is known in your village? Specifically in agriculture...

[00:02:35]Man: The village of Ma'arske, like all the villages of the Afrin region, Kurd Dagh, is famous for its agriculture.

[00:02:44]Man: Mainly by planting olive trees. Afrin as a whole is known for that.

[00:02:52]Man: Currently, for the past thirty years or so, alongside the olive trees, cherry trees have also been planted in the village of Ma'arske.

[00:03:04]Man: Its climate and weather, meaning its atmosphere and soil, accepted it.

[00:03:09]Man: Because our village Ma'arske is a village with an altitude of 460 meters.

[00:03:14]Man: Its spring and summer are cool.

[00:03:17]Man: That coolness allows these cherry trees to live well, to thrive in it.

[00:03:26]Man: Because cherry trees are rain-fed trees. Meaning they don't require irrigation.

[00:03:33]Man: And our region also has its coolness, which is why you see these trees weren't very widespread in the Afrin region.

[00:03:42]Man: It grows here, in this village, and in the village of Bilbilk as well...

[00:03:46]Man: 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.

[00:03:54]Man: 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.

[00:04:04]Host: So since when, how many years have you had cherry trees?

[00:04:08]Man: Meaning there are around 10-15 thousand cherry trees.

[00:04:12]Man: These trees are mostly planted among the olive trees.

[00:04:17]Man: And exactly, the number, it's not that, I mean we can't focus on the exact number.

[00:04:24]Man: 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.

[00:04:34]Man: There are also specific characteristics of that tree.

[00:04:37]Man: Well, because of that, meaning there are around 10-15 thousand cherry trees in the village of Ma'arske.

[00:04:43]Man: Another thing I want to mention, the village of Ma'arske

[00:04:48]Man: thirty years ago, was known for watermelons.

[00:04:54]Man: Meaning in reality, watermelons, the watermelons here used to be very good,

[00:05:00]Man: Both the round watermelons, which they called American at that time.

[00:05:04]Man: And also the long watermelons, they were like pillows, they called them bride watermelons.

[00:05:09]Man: And those watermelons, they used to bury half of them in the soil.

[00:05:13]Man: Why did they bury them in the soil? They buried them in the soil so its rind, so it becomes thick.

[00:05:19]Man: And it remained until the end of the forty days of winter.

[00:05:23]Man: We placed them on our roofs and we also put a cover of watermelon vines, covering them.

[00:05:29]Man: Meaning like a protection thing, until the end of the forty days of winter we kept watermelons, ate them, and also for selling.

[00:05:39]Man: And we also ate them ourselves.

[00:05:41]Man: From the bride watermelons, there were two types. There was a type where the inside of the melon was red,

[00:05:46]Man: and another type where the inside of the melon was yellow. Yellow, yellow, meaning yellow. It was a characteristic of this village.

[00:05:55]Man: But for thirty years now, after the climate changed, meaning snow and rain decreased,

[00:06:01]Man: and as you can see, this world also moved a bit towards warmth.

[00:06:07]Man: Because of that and the rain decreased, because of that watermelons are no longer planted in this village.

[00:06:14]Man: Due to the (loss of) watermelons, cherries entered this village and as you can see,

[00:06:21]Man: meaning a very good proportion, very well, the village makes its living from it, and a season, it happens at a time that

[00:06:30]Man: no other fruit has come out yet.

[00:06:33]Man: Because of that, this fruit became known in Ma'arske and became famous.

[00:06:38]Host: At what time does it start?

[00:06:41]Man: Well, on the first of May, the first of May meaning the fifth month, its harvesting begins. Until the end of May.

[00:06:48]Man: Meaning its harvesting lasts for a month. After that month, the season no longer remains.

[00:06:56]Man: The trees are maintained, pests are killed, they are sprayed, the soil is plowed.

[00:07:02]Man: And another thing, it gets ready until the next season.

[00:07:07]Host: Meaning year by year there are (cherries).

[00:07:08]Man: The cherry tree yields year by year. It is not like the olive tree. One year it yields, one year it doesn't.

[00:07:14]Man: 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),

[00:07:23]Man: But it starts from the first of May, from the first of May, until the end of

[00:07:30]Man: these ten types, every two or three days a type ripens. Meaning a class.

[00:07:35]Host: What are their names, can you tell us?

[00:07:37]Man: 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.

[00:07:46]Man: The second is the Italian... it's small, the weather, its seed is very small.

[00:07:51]Man: The weather makes it ripen earlier. Meaning we can even see it ripens on the 25th of April.

[00:07:56]Man: After that, the big Italian ones, and these have truly established themselves,

[00:08:01]Man: and that we... we have planted, meaning for that, for buying and selling it's very good.

[00:08:08]Man: Secondly there is the American, then there is the French,

[00:08:14]Man: Then... there is the bird's heart.

[00:08:21]Man: There is a line on it they call the rainbow, some call it Abu Hiz in Arabic.

[00:08:27]Man: There is another type, from which they make jam and wine and such. They also call that Weşne (sour cherry).

[00:08:34]Man: Its seed is also small, and its taste is sour.

[00:08:38]Man: And these trees themselves are grafted onto Mahaleb trees.

[00:08:43]Man: Meaning first you plant the Mahaleb tree, after a year up to two years you graft that Mahaleb tree.

[00:08:50]Man: After you grafted it, this tree takes up to 7 years on average to bear fruit. Meaning it bears fruit.

[00:08:58]Host: Now what is this one in front of us?

[00:08:59]Man: This is... they call this the Italian one.

[00:09:03]Host: Teacher, you said, you mentioned, before we started the program, you said, I have done research on agriculture.

[00:09:08]Man: By God, I have personally done a research on the cherry tree in the Kurdish language.

[00:09:14]Man: 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.

[00:09:24]Man: And now I have also written a book about the environment and forests in Kurd Dagh,

[00:09:31]Man: meaning in Arabic they say, Al-bi'a wal-hiraj fi Jabal al-Akrad mintaqat Afrin.

[00:09:37]Man: In this book, I have focused on the environment, specifically the environment of the Afrin region and the natural forests of Afrin,

[00:09:47]Man: And I have focused on what has been planted,

[00:09:50]Man: And I have focused on the climate, meaning its weather, its atmosphere.

[00:09:56]Man: I have focused on the soil, after that I...

[00:10:00]Man: ... one hundred and one kinds of trees, and under those trees, there are herbs used to treat illnesses.

[00:10:11]Man: I have planted one hundred and one kinds. I took pictures of them all by myself.

[00:10:20]Host: Thank you, Uncle Derwêş, for your time. Thank you very much.

[00:10:23]Man: It is nothing, thank you.

[00:10:28]Narrator: 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.

[00:10:39]Narrator: The village people make a living primarily by growing olive trees.

[00:10:44]Narrator: And fruit orchards, especially sour cherry trees, which are planted in dozens of varieties.

[00:10:51]Narrator: The first sour cherry tree was planted in this village in 1907.

[00:10:58]Narrator: And later spread to all the villages of the Afrin canton. Along with that, fruit trees of all kinds are also planted.

[00:11:07]Narrator: With the rain, the villagers also plant wheat fields and sell their products in the markets of Afrin.

[00:11:13]Narrator: Some families only raise livestock, and some people raise honey bees.

[00:11:50]Host: Hello to you, Uncle Xelat.

[00:11:52]Guest: Welcome, and a hundred hellos. Welcome.

[00:11:54]Host: We wanted to get to know the village of Me'rskê a bit.

[00:11:57]Host: Since when was this village established? Which village families came here?

[00:12:00]Guest: The village of Me'rskê, we elders call it Me'rskê.

[00:12:08]Guest: We elders, we call it the village of Me'rskê. From earlier, it is a very old village.

[00:12:16]Guest: It's very old. And this village, Hemkullekan...

[00:12:22]Guest: we are all one family. We are all Hemkullekan. Earlier, this village was six-seven families, we are all from that father.

[00:12:30]Guest: However, now, our surnames have become many. And who did this? The government did it, and they did it during the Ottoman times.

[00:12:39]Guest: Not that we rejected it. For example, the families of Hemkullekan, our surname became Topal Hemo.

[00:12:44]Guest: Topal Hemo, meaning in the time of the Turks, Hemkullek was disabled, Topal Hemo.

[00:12:50]Guest: Topal Hemo means he was disabled. But his name is Hemkullek.

[00:12:54]Guest: In Kurmanji we say Hemkullek. And now they have made us four-five surnames.

[00:13:00]Guest: Brother, these surnames have become many among us, we are all Hemkullek. We are all relatives.

[00:13:07]Guest: Anyway, these five-six surnames among us, we wanted and we want them all to be one surname.

[00:13:13]Guest: All of them to be one surname. Then, we have been in this country for fourteen-fifteen generations, for a long time.

[00:13:22]Guest: There is Domer, there is Înal, there is Mistefa, there is Xelîlbaş,

[00:13:28]Guest: There is Hebîb, there is Osman. Then comes Hemkullek, meaning Hemkullek is from one hundred and fifty years ago.

[00:13:37]Guest: But our history is from a long time ago, we are elders from three hundred-four hundred years ago, meaning our roots were here.

[00:13:45]Guest: We are from Hemkullek, this whole village, we are from Hemkullek. Not just this village alone.

[00:13:51]Guest: Now there is the village of E'lkê, they are also Hemkullek. They are also our cousins.

[00:13:57]Guest: They are also our cousins, now we have three uncles in the village of E'lkê. The village of E'lkê was also ours.

[00:14:03]Host: The day we went, we were guests in that village as well, we made a program there too.

[00:14:06]Guest: Yes, they are our cousins. But our uncles are there.

[00:14:08]Host: As far as I know, Serî Kaniyê is also your cousin's village.

[00:14:11]Guest: Serî Kaniyê are also our cousins.

[00:14:13]Guest: Serî Kaniyê, Hemdûş and Hemkullek were brothers. Hemdûş and Hemkullek were brothers.

[00:14:21]Guest: Now they are called Hemdûşî, and we are called Hemkullekî. But Hemdûş and Hemkullek were brothers, they were brothers.

[00:14:26]Guest: The Hemdûşî stayed in Kefercenê, and we are in Vederê.

[00:14:30]Host: Was the name of the village also changed to Serî Kaniyê?

[00:14:32]Guest: Yes. Previously, we were small. Nobody called it Kefercenê.

[00:14:35]Guest: What did everybody say? "We will go to Serî Kaniyê." We used to go to Serî Kaniyê.

[00:14:41]Guest: We were kids, small ones then. The women would go to Serî Kaniyê like that, because water was scarce in the village.

[00:14:48]Guest: And the spring was in the middle of the gardens. They took their clothes and belongings and washed them there.

[00:14:54]Guest: They did their washing there.

[00:14:56]Host: And they are this close to each other?

[00:14:57]Guest: Yes, it is about a kilometer between us and Kefercenê.

[00:15:00]Guest: It's just a kilometer. We are very close.

[00:15:03]Host: I wonder which other villages have your relatives?

[00:15:05]Guest: 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.

[00:15:14]Guest: 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.

[00:15:22]Guest: 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.

[00:15:32]Guest: This is the story, basically.

[00:15:38]Host: Now, what is the population of your village? How many houses are there?

[00:15:40]Guest: There are approximately around seventy houses.

[00:15:41]Guest: There are seventy houses. And we are all from that father.

[00:15:45]Host: Did many leave the village? For instance, like going to Afrin, going to other places?

[00:15:49]Guest: 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.

[00:16:01]Guest: 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...

[00:16:12]Guest: Meaning they are both in the village, and also in the city.

[00:16:18]Host: Now your village is known by two names, Me'rskê and the village of Ûsiv?

[00:16:21]Host: Where did the name Ûsiv come from?

[00:16:22]Guest: Ûsiv... Didn't we say Ûsiv and Xelîl were brothers. They were brothers, there were two brothers. They had two villages.

[00:16:31]Guest: Ûsiv stayed in Me'rskê, Xelîl also stayed in the village of E'lkê. We call it the village of E'lkê.

[00:16:40]Guest: Ûsiv opened a room here, a guest room.

[00:16:45]Host: Did every village have a guest room back then?

[00:16:47]Guest: Yes, there was a guest room. Back then, it wasn't like now, there were no tree-cutting machines.

[00:16:49]Guest: 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."

[00:17:00]Guest: 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.

[00:17:11]Guest: That's how he became known.

[00:17:14]Host: Now the region around Afrin, do the majority of people refer to it as the village of Me'rskê, or the village of Ûsiv?

[00:17:22]Guest: 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.

[00:17:31]Guest: Yes, that's how it was.

[00:17:34]Host: 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?

[00:17:44]Guest: Yes, well, we were attacked three times. We didn't leave the village. They fired at us, we fired back at them, they left...

[00:17:56]Guest: 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.

[00:18:08]Guest: And thank God, we prevailed, and they fled. Yes, well, some fell as martyrs, they passed away. But the youth...

[00:18:20]Guest: 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...

[00:18:33]Guest: We are in control, basically.

[00:18:35]Host: 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.

[00:18:44]Host: God willing, we will always come.

[00:18:45]Guest: You are welcome, you are welcome.

[00:18:47]Host: Thank you.

[00:21:54]Man: And the primary school was initially, in the year sixty-eight,

[00:21:59]Man: Established in the village.

[00:23:10]Man: We learned from those magazines and newspapers as well.

[00:23:16]Man: Whatever book was in the Kurdish language, if there was a letter in any newspaper, we read it,

[00:23:22]Man: And taught ourselves. And from early on, from that time too,

[00:23:27]Man: We used to hold Kurdish language courses in the village.

[00:24:31]Man: And this has left a very positive impact on the village.

[00:24:36]Man: Any disputes that occur in the village are resolved peacefully.

[00:24:42]Man: In terms of the environment, seven or eight years ago,

[00:24:47]Man: 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.

[00:24:56]Man: So that we can have a clean and good environment, as an example, we

[00:25:01]Man: Can show these generations coming after us, so that they pay attention to these things.

[00:34:30]Reporter: This water that you say is for the whole village... does the whole village take this water or is it only yours?

[00:34:35]Man: It is only ours, but the whole village takes from it.

[00:34:38]Man: When there is no electricity, and its water is very good... for tea, half of the village takes their water from here.

[00:34:46]Reporter: Mostly, they say well water is calcified... meaning its water isn't suitable for drinking for tea.

[00:35:04]Man: 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.

[00:42:38]Woman2: We put this in, then we prepare it with water and ice, we put this in.

[00:42:42]Host: Um hum.
