[17:49]Woman: We prepare them, we eat them. We make tea, we eat.

[18:00]Host: Dear viewers, behind us is the dam. Of Maydanki. But the doctor, Uncle Şêx Hesen, a friend I knew from before said he is also from this village. We will ask him our question. Hello.

[18:14]Doctor: Hello, thanks.

[18:15]Host: How are you?

[18:16]Doctor: Good, thanks. Thanks to you, you came to our region, we thank you.

[18:20]Host: Doctor, now we said this dam... When was it built?

[18:24]Doctor: Well, it started in the year 90. We want before the dam started... we want to start [talking] about the Afrin river.

[18:35]Doctor: This river comes from the North (Turkey). It passes into the Afrin region. And passes Maydanki, passes Afrin. And enters Turkish land, there it passes to the sea.

[18:48]Doctor: Meaning before this dam, again [it was] a busy region, people used to come to this place. The goal of this dam... the creation of this dam has two main goals.

[19:02]Doctor: First, for this water... not to go to waste, meaning the Afrin region benefits from it. Its land, its farmers benefit from it.

[19:11]Doctor: This was the first goal. The second goal, to be able to [take] this water, to cities... like Afrin and Azaz, to be able to take drinking water from it.

[19:21]Doctor: This dam started, from the year 90 as I said. And it finished in the year 2004.

[19:27]Host: 24th of the 4th...

[19:28]Doctor: 24th of the 4th, 2004, this dam was built.

[19:34]Doctor: It took 14 years. A time it stopped, a time it was built, but now approximately ninety-five percent, this dam is completely built.

[19:44]Doctor: But there are small and minor things, like landscaping and roads and facilities, those things need to be provided.

[19:51]Doctor: Its length... its length is 14 kilometers.

[19:55]Doctor: From the dam... towards the water...

[20:00]Speaker: From Nebi Huri, it is 14 kilometers.

[20:03]Speaker: From the bottom, from the top of the wall, its height is approximately 81 meters.

[20:10]Speaker: And its width reaches up to sixty, sixty-twenty-five, the average water...

[20:15]Speaker: ...meaning the middle, meaning some places are deeper, wider, and some places are narrower.

[20:21]Speaker: As they say, 190 million cubic meters of water stands behind this dam.

[20:30]Speaker: As we said, it supplies water to two cities, meaning the water passes through the purification project, gets sterilized, and passes...

[20:40]Speaker: ...about 10.1, 10.9 million cubic meters of water is consumed by Afrin.

[20:47]Speaker: And this dam also, afterwards it has a network that passes through and spreads to the Afrin region.

[20:53]Speaker: Before this dam, about five percent of the land surrounding this river benefited from this.

[20:59]Speaker: But now after this... in total, fifty percent of farmers benefit from it.

[21:05]Speaker: It has a specific time, they open this network for farmers to benefit. It is closed during spring.

[21:10]Speaker: Approximately on the 20th of April it starts, this network opens, farmers can irrigate their wheat, their land, their olives.

[21:19]Speaker: And it remains until around the seventh month, and then it is closed so that...

[21:24]Speaker: ...until the rain, meaning the eighth [month], rain falls again and it opens.

[21:28]Speaker: Unfortunately, this year the rain was a bit scarce, and the water level was low too. But now...

[21:34]Host: No... uh, we said the water passes to the Jinderes district and goes to Afrin... does it pass Afrin...?

[21:42]Speaker: Afrin, after Jinderes, then it flows into... a place... then it passes to Liwa Iskenderun (Hatay).

[21:50]Speaker: From Liwa Iskenderun it passes to the sea. The Mediterranean Sea. It passes there.

[21:55]Host: We thank you.

[21:56]Speaker: Thanks, you are most welcome.

[25:50]Host: Uncle Mihemed, now how old were you when you started this work?

[25:54]Mihemed: I... honestly to say how old I was when I started, I don't know...

[25:58]Mihemed: ...when I was very small, we went herding lambs, I used to make figures out of mud.

[26:02]Mihemed: I made... from clay/mud, made water, made sea, did that.

[26:10]Host: Meaning did you go to school? At that time? That time when you went to school?

[26:14]Mihemed: Yes. I went by the water, for example we went out to play, we went somewhere, it snowed...

[26:20]Mihemed: ...from snow I made statues of humans and animals myself.

[26:24]Mihemed: These things were connected, I can't honestly say on such a date I started doing this work.

[26:30]Host: Now how old are you?

[26:32]Mihemed: I am seventy years old.

[26:34]Host: Mashallah, may you have a long life.

[26:36]Mihemed: Thanks.

[26:37]Host: Now Uncle Mihemed we said, how many years since you made this one?

[26:42]Mihemed: This, five... fifty-five years it exists. I was in fifth grade, in Afrin, studying primary school, I made this.

[26:51]Host: Now you made this?

[26:53]Mihemed: I [made] this, with... hand work, meaning not automatic, not machine work...

[26:59]Mihemed: ...let's say on electricity, on wood [lathe]... no. All my hand. Here.

[27:05]Host: Now these are airplanes too?

[27:07]Mihemed: These are airplanes too, this one in the year sixty-nine, I was in the military...

[27:11]Mihemed: ...I put a plane in front of me, drew its picture, on cigarette paper same thing, that's how I came...

[27:18]Mihemed: ...I went to carpenters, prepared my wood pieces, cut them, brought them, my superiors would scold me...

[27:25]Mihemed: ...saying "why are you busy with this thing"... when they fought [argued], I made valuable things...

[27:31]Mihemed: ...they became happy and from it... took some from me.

[27:36]Mihemed: And I gave some to myself, gave to my home, and sold some, according to my need. Yes.

[27:42]Host: You sold them?

[27:43]Mihemed: I sold some too. In that period I sold them.

[27:47]Mihemed: But these pieces now remaining with me, I can't sell, I keep them as souvenirs for myself.

[28:14]Host: Uncle Mihemed let's pass here. A bit.

[28:18]Host: Now tell us one by one, when did you make this?

[28:21]Mihemed: Here sir, from... this... they call this 'soq' (mortar), this is it. Water [powered].

[28:27]Mihemed: Wheat is pounded in it.

[28:28]Host: Water wheat one?

[28:29]Mihemed: Wheat is pounded in it. This is an elephant. Stone... dusty stone, not black stone.

[28:35]Mihemed: This is the foam of that, foam of... stone, volcanic, times when fire comes out...

[28:41]Mihemed: ...like a foam falls on top, foam falls on top, this is formed.

[28:45]Host: Where did you bring it from?

[28:47]Mihemed: I walk around, wherever my eye fell on a stone, ah, I knew this is it, something can be made from it, I picked it up and brought it. There.

[28:54]Host: What is this?

[28:55]Mihemed: This is a hawk. The name of the village exactly I have forgotten now, but it is that, not between Bongik and Bashiq.

[29:05]Host: What is this, at this castle of whom?

[29:07]Mihemed: This castle made of this girl. She is sitting in a prostration position.

[29:12]Mihemed: And a small... table...

[29:14]Host: Here too...?

[29:15]Mihemed: Here too, in Arabic we call this 'mihbaj'. In Kurmanji we call this 'dîbek' (mortar). Here.

[29:21]Host: This is for coffee?

[29:23]Mihemed: Meaning, this is for coffee. They pound coffee, in villages, places existed in guest councils, strangers came...

[29:30]Mihemed: ...someone would take a cup, in the corner, hit it, lift it, strike it, like that... that's how it was.

[29:39]Mihemed: Mortar, they pounded coffee with it, gave to guests.

[30:00]Speaker 1: And this is the base stone (the "woman")...

[30:02]Speaker 1: And look here, God made the rolling stone, and this is from the old times, muddy indeed...

[30:10]Speaker 1: The rolling stone stands in it, the rolling stone is God-given.

[30:14]Speaker 1: This is from the old times, muddy indeed.

[30:17]Host: How many years have you had this since you made it?

[30:19]Speaker 1: This one, maybe it has been twenty years.

[30:21]Speaker 1: Yes.

[30:22]Host: This is a hand mill stone, right, as we said?

[30:24]Speaker 1: This is a hand mill... a hand mill for lentils, for coriander...

[30:30]Speaker 1: It is... operated by hand.

[30:32]Host: You turn it?

[30:33]Speaker 1: It gets turned.

[30:36]Host: Before there were water mills, right, before large mills existed, this was called a hand mill (destar)?

[30:40]Speaker 1: No, this hand mill... it wasn't for a water mill.

[30:44]Speaker 1: The millstone of a water mill is something else, maybe a round rim...

[30:49]Speaker 1: Meaning, we wanted everyone to understand it.

[30:52]Speaker 1: That one, from the bottom, is like a mold, like a tribe [base].

[30:57]Speaker 1: And from the top it is like a tribe, and from the bottom it is like a tribe.

[31:02]Speaker 1: And in its arrangement, there is a stone inside the... round thing... a round handle is attached to turn it.

[31:10]Speaker 1: And when they pour wheat into it, flour comes out.

[31:13]Speaker 1: But with this one, flour doesn't come out; it's for lentils, it breaks them, makes them into two pieces.

[31:19]Speaker 1: Or vetch seeds, meaning for cattle... meaning... they do that.

[31:23]Host: And the one on the side?

[31:24]Speaker 1: The one on the side, this one was for preparing olives...

[31:27]Speaker 1: Ah, it is made, ready.

[31:28]Host: It was used before the press machines.

[31:30]Speaker 1: Yes, it was this, ready.

[31:32]Host: Was everything by hand in the past?

[31:34]Speaker 1: Everything was by hand, yes.

[31:36]Speaker 1: Just like this one, the breaker, meaning wheat into flour... that was also by hand.

[31:41]Speaker 1: This one, you would put an animal to circle it, meaning a human, a horse... a... you would make them circle and turn this.

[31:49]Speaker 1: When this turns, there is a person who pushes it in, feeds it...

[31:54]Speaker 1: Always putting this in... olives.

[31:56]Speaker 1: Olives... that... land... yes, bulgur.

[32:00]Speaker 1: They used to make bulgur with it too.

[32:02]Host: It crushed it.

[32:03]Speaker 1: This turns.

[32:06]Speaker 1: Yes.

[32:08]Host: This was for olives.

[32:11][Silence / Transition]

[32:16]Host: These were from the past.

[32:17]Speaker 1: And other than...

[32:18]Host: They were prominent/ancient things.

[32:19]Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, prominent/ancient, this one...

[32:22]Speaker 1: There remains this one... this Cobbler's stone.

[32:26]Speaker 1: This sitting Cobbler.

[32:30]Speaker 1: In front of the round part there is a hammer, a knife... there are nails, and pliers.

[32:38]Speaker 1: And on this wood, there is a tin of water.

[32:41]Speaker 1: And here is the spool... uh... the spool of leather.

[32:46]Speaker 1: Leather.

[32:48]Speaker 1: Meaning, essentially he is a Cobbler, and all his work is with leather.

[32:52]Speaker 1: He makes shoes.

[32:55]Speaker 1: If the shoe of the villager's son is torn.

[32:57]Speaker 1: He takes his shoe...

[32:59]Speaker 1: He puts it on... what the... the shade of the village...

[33:04]Speaker 1: He gives it to the village hand [the cobbler], saying: "Father, my shoe, the village mouth has opened this wide, it is torn, you fix others', but you leave mine."

[33:14]Speaker 1: And that is how this situation happened, eating shit in the world, saying: "What happened, I am failing my own progeny."

[33:22]Speaker 1: "I fix others', but I leave my own children's."

[33:26]Speaker 1: But when he looks, ho... he needs such tools.

[33:31]Speaker 1: Where is the time later to fix his own? And the people's work is urgent.

[33:36]Host: That's why they say the jar of the poor is always broken.

[33:38]Speaker 1: Yes. He doesn't live by the jar, meaning.

[33:41]Speaker 1: He wants... to just finish the people's work quickly, meaning not to let his kids go hungry.

[33:47]Speaker 1: And that is a freshness for me that I enjoy.

[33:50]Host: Is this a mosque?

[33:51]Speaker 1: Yes, a mosque, the Messenger (peace be upon him) says...

[33:55]Speaker 1: In the time of... the Brotherhood in Aleppo, something happened.

[34:02]Speaker 1: Two... in Aleppo the Brotherhood rose up and the government did that.

[34:09]Speaker 1: They stopped it, people... to Aleppo... they didn't let them go into Aleppo, and those inside Aleppo weren't allowed to go out.

[34:18]Speaker 1: At that time, I was working in a nylon factory, we were all imprisoned like that, working according to our custom.

[34:25]Speaker 1: We looked, meaning a human cannot even do this work.

[34:28]Speaker 1: Especially mine...

[34:30]Speaker 1: When I... I am stopping this work now.

[34:34]Host: May your hands be healthy (Thank you).

[34:35]Speaker 1: May God be pleased with you.

[34:36]Speaker 1: I made this, brought it, and until now we are in it.

[34:41]Speaker 1: Because the landmarks of the village are ruined, rotted, but the relics of the village are still complete.

[35:32]Host: Dear viewers, we are in the Meydankê market.

[35:37]Host: This is the Meydankê market.

[35:39]Host: Here is one from our council, Teacher Hesen. Hello.

[35:44]Hesen: Welcome, you are welcome upon my head, upon my eyes.

[35:47]Host: Be healthy. Can we get to know a little about this market?

[35:51]Host: Because, essentially, your village is considered like a district.

[35:55]Hesen: Our village is a tourist village.

[35:58]Hesen: Many common people come out here. It is known by name and fame on television too. They all know the history.

[36:03]Hesen: This road, the road... reaches all the way to Bilbile.

[36:06]Hesen: It is a strategic road.

[36:08]Hesen: Meaning people come out, on this... on this basis, the people... opened these market shops here.

[36:15]Hesen: So they could live from it, to maintain their livelihood.

[36:21]Hesen: So everyone can provide a special service.

[36:23]Host: Now here becomes a square, because Meydankê is known for fish. Do they sell fish here too?

[36:30]Hesen: Of course fish are here too, in the water, in this Afrin [river], this Afrin Dam created the barrier.

[36:36]Hesen: There are fish up to twenty kilos in it. There are many fish in it.

[36:40]Hesen: Otherwise...

[36:41]Host: No, no, does this road go to the Bilbile district?

[36:44]Hesen: It goes all the way to Bilbile.

[36:47]Hesen: Until Bilbile, Bilbile, Zêtin... it goes to Zûra too, it reaches Meydanliq.

[36:50]Hesen: Through all this, the road comes out in Reco, the road to Azaz.

[36:54]Hesen: Meaning it's a crossroad.

[36:56]Hesen: It's a village with a location.

[36:59]Hesen: It's a central road.

[37:01]Hesen: It's a tourist village, a village, meaning it is developed.

[37:05]Hesen: People come out from everywhere, on this basis.

[37:08]Host: Now teacher, we mentioned this market. Meaning until when does it stay open? Does it stay from morning to evening?

[37:15]Hesen: It opens at six in the morning, until eight, nine in the evening, meaning it closes at ten.

[37:21]Hesen: Everyone goes to their home.

[37:23]Host: I thank you.

[37:25]Hesen: Be healthy. Happy to have you, welcome, anytime.

[37:42]Host: Dear viewers, we left the square, we came to the Meydankê tea/water side.

[37:48]Host: As shown behind us, this is the water of Meydankê.

[37:51]Host: And the village of Meydankê is this.

[37:53]Host: But now we are at the top. Because Meydankê is known by all, for its water, for its restaurants, for its plains like this.

[38:01]Host: But Doctor Osman Sheik Isa, we will ask him our questions.

[38:06]Host: Hello Doctor.

[38:07]Dr. Osman: Upon my eyes (Welcome). You are welcome.

[38:09]Host: Be healthy. Since you are from this village. Let us know more about this village from you.

[38:14]Dr. Osman: Yes, in the beginning, you are welcome.

[38:16]Dr. Osman: I congratulate your blessed program.

[38:19]Dr. Osman: As Meydankê is known, in the region and in the canton it is known, for its tourism/scenery.

[38:26]Dr. Osman: For its water.

[38:28]Dr. Osman: Even from before, before the dam was closed and built.

[38:33]Dr. Osman: It still had its water, it had its waterfall.

[38:37]Dr. Osman: And every Friday and every Sunday, people from Aleppo and outside Aleppo flowed to come here.

[38:44]Dr. Osman: To pass their time, to rest, eating their food there.

[38:48]Dr. Osman: But after this dam was closed, a somewhat special place emerged.

[38:54]Dr. Osman: That is in Syria generally, and in Aleppo specifically.

[38:59]Dr. Osman: Meaning it became a very famous and well-known place.

[39:05]Dr. Osman: More than before, people Friday by Friday, Su... Sunday by Sunday, flow into these places, the restaurants that were established.

[39:15]Dr. Osman: And they pass their time there and eat their food.

[39:18]Dr. Osman: And get their relaxation from it.

[39:20]Host: How many restaurants are here?

[39:23]Dr. Osman: There are seven restaurants in total. Three are on the village side, three are on the mountain top side.

[39:29]Dr. Osman: On the mountain top.

[39:30]Dr. Osman: And one is at the bottom of the dam foundation, the base of the dam.

[39:35][Music/Transition]

[38:37]Dr. Osman: Û her în û her yekşem jî gel ji Helebê û derveyî Helebê, diherikî dihat li vê derê.

[38:44]Dr. Osman: Wek waxta xwe derbas dikir, îstîrahata xwe dikir, xwarina xwe li wê dixwar.

[38:48]Dr. Osman: Lê piştî ku ev bendav hate girtin, hinekî cîhekî wî taybet hate derxistin.

[38:54]Dr. Osman: Ew jî di Sûrê da giştî, û di Helebê da bi taybetî.

[38:59]Dr. Osman: Yanî bû cîh û herî navdar û naskirî.

[39:05]Dr. Osman: Jiberê bêtir, gel în bi în, şe... yekşem bi yekşem, diherikê tê ev cîhê xaringehin ku hatine girtin.

[39:15]Dr. Osman: Û lê waxta xwe derbas dike û xwarina xwe dixwe.

[39:29]Dr. Osman: Sere çiya ne.

[39:30]Dr. Osman: Û yek jî li binê bingehê sedê ne, esasê sedê ne.
