[00:02:56]Host: Peace be upon you.

[00:02:57]Man 1: And peace be upon you, welcome.

[00:02:58]Host: Hello, uncle.

[00:02:59]Man 1: Hello, welcome, welcome sir.

[00:03:00]Host: How are you? Can we get to know you?

[00:03:02]Man 1: My name is Mahmoud Ahmed Issa, from the people of Maydanki village, and this village is called Maydanki.

[00:03:07]Host: You are very welcome.

[00:03:08]Man 1: May God keep you safe.

[00:03:09]Host: What do you do for a living?

[00:03:10]Man 1: I work as a peasant, not a farmer, a peasant in the village of Maydanki.

[00:03:14]Host: Yeah, what do you plant?

[00:03:15]Man 1: We plant olives and grapevines.

[00:03:18]Host: Grapevines?

[00:03:19]Man 1: Yes.

[00:03:20]Host: It looks like you just came from the land, from the vineyard? Like you just came from the vineyard, from the olives?

[00:03:24]Man 1: Yes, we harvested the olives, but in the village, there are still some olives on the land that haven't been harvested yet.

[00:03:30]Man 1: And we harvested the olives now this year, yes.

[00:03:33]Host: How are the olives this year?

[00:03:35]Man 1: To be honest, not good, how should I tell you, the season is not good.

[00:03:39]Man 1: Almost half a season, I mean.

[00:03:42]Host: Why?

[00:03:43]Man 1: Well, because there are no services. You could say many of the village residents here moved to Aleppo

[00:03:49]Man 1: and as a result of the war, circumstances, and whatchamacallit, they left their lands and left the olives.

[00:03:55]Man 1: So this year, the season is, you could say, half a season this year.

[00:03:59]Host: Okay, and is the oil good?

[00:04:01]Man 1: The oil, no, the oil is good. Whoever harvested olives and took them to the press, the oil is good, yes.

[00:04:07]Host: How much did it yield, I mean how much oil did your olives produce?

[00:04:09]Man 1: It produced, I mean, it depends. You could say it depends on the oil. You have small olives, you have large ones, you have different types of olives that determine the oil yield.

[00:04:18]Man 1: Now, if you take care of your olives, plow the land, and it's good, for example, it yields good oil, its oil production is good, you know.

[00:04:25]Host: What is the percentage of people who rely on agriculture here?

[00:04:28]Man 1: The percentage of people relying on agriculture is about 75%.

[00:04:32]Host: 75%?

[00:04:33]Man 1: Yes.

[00:04:34]Host: Is it all olives?

[00:04:35]Man 1: Yes, it's all olives and grapevines, that's it.

[00:04:37]Host: Mostly olives?

[00:04:38]Man 1: Mostly olives, yes.

[00:04:39]Host: And grapes, how are the grapes?

[00:04:41]Man 1: Grapes, well, I mean you could say 10% grapes.

[00:04:45]Host: 10%?

[00:04:46]Man 1: Yes, and the rest, 85 or 90%, is all olives, yes indeed.

[00:04:50]Host: All on olives.

[00:04:51]Man 1: Yes.

[00:04:52]Host: How is the situation of the peasants?

[00:04:53]Man 1: The situation of the peasants, honestly, in terms of services, you could say there's no one to take care of the peasant or pay attention to him.

[00:05:00]Man 1: Or as a result of these two years, just these past two years.

[00:05:03]Man 1: A war happened and such circumstances, and these peasants moved away. The situation of the peasants this year isn't right, really. These past two years, I mean.

[00:06:16]Host: And those without a profession? Does no one work in the fields? Does no one work in fishing?

[00:06:20]Man 2: Fishing... Animals, there are no animals here...

[00:06:26]Host: I mean agriculture...

[00:06:31]Man 2: Mhm.

[00:06:32]Host: Now, what was your profession before coming here?

[00:06:34]Man 2: I didn't have a profession.

[00:06:36]Host: You didn't know any trade?

[00:06:37]Man 2: I didn't know any trade.

[00:06:38]Host: Did you learn this trade here? Fava beans, hummus, and the restaurant business?

[00:06:42]Man 2: We learned it here.

[00:06:43]Host: You learned it here? What are you making now?

[00:07:05]Host: The village of Maydanki is no more than 300 years old, despite the presence of the Roman bridge on the Afrin River south of the village,

[00:07:13]Host: which was submerged by the waters of the Maydanki Dam lake.

[00:07:17]Host: However, this village played a very important role in the struggle against the French during the French occupation.

[00:07:25]Host: And one of its men, called Sheikh Abdi, played a fundamental role in this revolution.

[00:07:31]Host: To talk about the history of Maydanki village, we will have with us Mr. Muhammad Sheikh Abdi Ibn Akkash,

[00:07:39]Host: who is the grandson of Sheikh Abdi, the man of the Syrian revolution in Maydanki village.

[00:08:05]Man 3: Sir, this village is more than 300 years old.

[00:08:10]Man 3: Clans came from the areas surrounding the village and settled with this village.

[00:08:21]Man 3: And the village's population exceeds 5,000 people.

[00:08:24]Host: Currently?

[00:08:25]Man 3: Yes indeed.

[00:08:26]Host: But before we talk about the village's population, I want you to tell me where the village's original inhabitants came from?

[00:08:30]Man 3: Originally, they came from Sheikh Issa.

[00:08:32]Host: Sheikh Issa, which is next to Tal Rifaat?

[00:08:34]Man 3: Next to Azaz, yes. Tal Rifaat and Azaz. Between Tal Rifaat and Azaz.

[00:08:38]Man 3: And they had come from Gilan in northern Iraq.

[00:08:41]Man 3: They settled in Sheikh Issa.

[00:08:43]Man 3: And in Sheikh Issa, apparently, the Al-Jabiri family harassed them, they owned the farms there.

[00:08:49]Man 3: They had a beautiful daughter,

[00:08:53]Man 3: so they fled from Sheikh Issa to the village of Aqiba.

[00:08:56]Host: Where is Aqiba located?

[00:08:57]Man 3: West of Deir Jamal.

[00:08:59]Host: Yes.

[00:09:00]Man 3: They didn't settle down there; they moved to Tal Hamo.

[00:09:03]Man 3: From Tal Hamo, they didn't settle there either; they came to Beylan Koy.

[00:09:08]Host: Where is Beylan Koy?

[00:09:09]Man 3: Beylan Koy belongs to the Bulbul subdistrict, close to Maydanki.

[00:09:14]Host: Yes.

[00:09:16]Man 3: Then they came... There was a woman in Naz Uşağı who was bitten by a snake.

[00:09:20]Man 3: They came and sucked the poison out for her, and the woman recovered.

[00:09:23]Man 3: The woman told them, "Go and live in that square."

[00:09:26]Man 3: It was woods, all a forested area.

[00:09:29]Host: The Maydanki area was a square?

[00:09:31]Man 3: A square, a small square.

[00:09:32]Host: So she told them to live in this square.

[00:09:33]Man 3: Yes. Later they named it Maydanki, as a diminutive of "Midan".

[00:09:40]Host: Of "Midan".

[00:09:41]Man 3: Yes indeed.

[00:09:43]Host: Who was the first to live here? I mean who...

[00:09:48]Host: Sheikh Saleh is the founder of this village?

[00:10:06]Man: The Gelani order.

[00:10:07]Host: The Gelani order.

[00:10:41]Host: Okay, tell me, we'll go inside the mosque now and talk about it.

[00:10:43]Host: But tell me about your grandfather Sheikh Abdi, and his role in the Syrian revolution.

[00:13:38]Host: Ah. Did they use to go up to the minaret...

[00:13:40]Man: There was no minaret, they'd go to the roof. He'd make the call from the roof.

[00:13:42]Host: Because the village was small?

[00:16:27]Man 2: Yes they do, sometimes they also come at night, they fish with hooks.

[00:16:33]Host: With a hook, not with a net?

[00:16:34]Man 2: With a hook, yes.

[00:16:35]Host: Why at night?

[00:16:36]Man 2: At night, the fish moves around, roams, and eats.

[00:16:40]Man 2: Because of this.

[00:16:41]Host: Ah, meaning they feel safe?

[00:16:42]Man 2: Yes, of course they feel safe.

[00:17:10]Host: Can you tell me a nice, funny situation that happened to you while you were fishing?

[00:17:16]Man 2: Honestly I haven't been fishing long enough for something to happen to me.

[00:17:22]Man 2: Only in my free time.

[00:17:24]Man 2: Just when I come back from work, from farming...
