Wêreganê

[00:01:26]Narrator: Al Bayya'a or Wirgan is a beautiful Syrian village belonging to the Sharran sub-district, Afrin district in the northern Aleppo countryside.

[00:01:36]Narrator: It is located 15 kilometers northeast of Sharran, and also 30 kilometers northeast of Afrin.

[00:01:46]Narrator: It is three kilometers away from the Turkish border to the west.

[00:01:51]Narrator: The village was built on the four slopes of a medium-height mountain.

[00:01:57]Narrator: Among its most famous landmarks is the Valley of Hell south of the village, which separates it from the village of Ain Alo to the south as well.

[00:02:06]Narrator: And also the village spring, as they call it here, which is also located to its south.

[00:02:12]Narrator: Al Bayya'a is located in an area full of historical ruins.

[00:02:16]Narrator: Especially the bridges in the village of Arab Wiran, and the Roman bridges in Deir Sawwan.

[00:02:24]Narrator: In addition to the Nebi Houri Citadel, which is 12 kilometers away from the village to the north.

[00:02:31]Narrator: Its people rely on agriculture, especially the cultivation of olives, pomegranates, and vines.

[00:02:37]Narrator: And on raising goats and sheep.

[00:02:40]Narrator: The people of the village form a distinct Syrian mosaic of Kurds, Arabs, and Turkmen.

[00:02:48]Narrator: Despite the presence of a primary school in the village, the education rate there is low.

[00:02:54]Narrator: Due to the lifestyle that relies on agriculture and animal husbandry.

[00:03:05]Narrator: Wirgan or Al Bayya'a, despite its location in an area crowded with Roman and Hittite ruins.

[00:03:12]Narrator: Its true existence might not date back further than the middle of the Ottoman period.

[00:03:18]Narrator: And the current village and its current inhabitants probably are not older than a hundred years at most.

[00:03:26]Narrator: To talk about the history of the village of Wirgan or Al Bayya'a, we are pleased to have as our guest...

[00:03:30]Narrator: Uncle Mahmoud Abdo, one of the oldest men in this village and someone interested in its history.

[00:03:37]Host: May God give you health, Uncle Mahmoud.

[00:03:38]Mahmoud: May God give you health, welcome.

[00:03:39]Host: Tell me a little bit, considering you are genuinely interested in history.

[00:03:43]Host: I mean, the existence of Wirgan here, in this particular area, what is its significance?

[00:03:48]Host: I mean, as I know, to our east, east-south there is a French bridge...

[00:03:54]Mahmoud: The Arab Wiran bridge.

[00:03:55]Host: Arab Wiran?

[00:03:56]Mahmoud: Yes.

[00:03:57]Host: And also to our north there is...

[00:03:59]Mahmoud: To our north, a bridge on the Afrin River, a Roman bridge.

[00:04:02]Host: The Roman bridge of Deir Sawwan.

[00:04:04]Mahmoud: Deir Sawwan, and the other Roman bridge is on the Saboun River.

[00:04:08]Host: Right, and near here we have the Nebi Houri Citadel.

[00:04:11]Mahmoud: The Nebi Houri Citadel is to our north.

[00:04:13]Host: Yes, and the Afrin River passes to our west.

[00:04:15]Mahmoud: This is the Afrin River right here, this lake.

[00:04:17]Host: Okay, and to the south...

[00:04:19]Mahmoud: South of the village there is the Valley of Hell.

[00:04:21]Host: Go ahead.

[00:04:22]Host: All of this talk...

[00:04:25]Mahmoud: Yes.

[00:04:26]Host: Made people settle here?

[00:04:27]Mahmoud: Yes, the early humans...

[00:04:34]Mahmoud: Did not utilize the lands much.

[00:04:38]Mahmoud: Therefore, wherever water was found...

[00:04:41]Mahmoud: They would live near the water to water their livestock.

[00:04:45]Host: Yes.

[00:04:46]Mahmoud: Here is a spring, and here is a spring.

[00:04:48]Mahmoud: That's why they came down...

[00:04:49]Mahmoud: And settled here...

[00:04:51]Mahmoud: For the sake of their livestock.

[00:04:53]Host: And this reason indicates that the village people were originally sheep herders.

[00:04:57]Mahmoud: Sheep herders.

[00:04:59]Host: Yes.

[00:05:00]Host: And they were also farmers?

[00:05:01]Mahmoud: Later on, when agriculture became valuable, they started farming.

[00:05:07]Mahmoud: And agriculture developed in our village specifically.

[00:05:10]Mahmoud: From wheat and barley...

[00:05:13]Mahmoud: And related crops like chickpeas...

[00:05:15]Mahmoud: And lentils.

[00:05:16]Host: But originally what did they plant in the mountains?

[00:05:18]Mahmoud: Mountains, olives.

[00:05:20]Host: Olives?

[00:05:21]Mahmoud: Olives.

[00:05:22]Host: And there are vines.

[00:05:23]Mahmoud: And there are vines. And these olives are not from a long time ago.

[00:05:27]Mahmoud: Currently...

[00:05:28]Mahmoud: They planted them after the seventies.

[00:05:30]Host: All the olives?

[00:05:30]Mahmoud: All of it. After the lands were distributed among the farmers...

[00:05:36]Mahmoud: The system came and distributed to the farmers...

[00:05:39]Mahmoud: And they started...

[00:05:40]Mahmoud: The farmers' union said "Plant olives."

[00:05:44]Mahmoud: They started planting vines and olives.

[00:05:47]Host: Okay, let me go back with you to the original inhabitants in...

[00:05:51]Host: I mean the Aghas...

[00:05:53]Mahmoud: The Aghas, yes.

[00:05:54]Host: Who are they, who are they?

[00:05:55]Mahmoud: Sir, in the past, the Al-Mulhim family.

[00:05:58]Mahmoud: Their son was called Murad Agha.

[00:06:01]Host: Where are they from?

[00:06:01]Mahmoud: From Qarnaba.

[00:06:03]Host: Qarnaba?

[00:06:03]Mahmoud: Qarnaba.

[00:06:04]Host: Qarnaba, which is located...

[00:06:05]Mahmoud: Beyond the border.

[00:06:07]Host: Beyond the border, yes.

[00:06:08]Mahmoud: And the second family that came to live here...

[00:06:10]Mahmoud: From the Haj Omar family, named Aref Agha.

[00:06:13]Host: Where is he from as well?

[00:06:14]Mahmoud: From Deir Sawwan, he came and took land here and lived in it.

[00:06:17]Host: Yes, so this village was a feudal estate for them?

[00:06:20]Mahmoud: Yes, indeed.

[00:06:21]Host: During the Ottoman period?

[00:06:21]Mahmoud: And after that too.

[00:06:23]Host: Yes.

[00:06:24]Mahmoud: And the farmers used to work for them as sharecroppers.

[00:06:27]Host: Sharecroppers, yes.

[00:06:29]Mahmoud: Sharecroppers. When the agrarian reform took place...

[00:06:33]Mahmoud: And it was distributed among the farmers of the village...

[00:06:36]Mahmoud: And everyone got their hands on their property...

[00:06:39]Mahmoud: And they planted olives and vines, and started planting grains.

[00:06:43]Mahmoud: And there are some of them, breeding livestock as well, to this day.

[00:06:46]Host: To this day?

[00:06:47]Mahmoud: To this day.

[00:06:48]Host: Do you have a lot of livestock?

[00:06:50]Mahmoud: We have a lot of livestock.

[00:06:52]Host: From what I understood, the composition of the village is a Syrian composition par excellence.

[00:06:58]Mahmoud: Yes.

[00:06:59]Host: It has all the components.

[00:07:00]Mahmoud: All the components.

[00:07:01]Host: Tell me.

[00:07:02]Mahmoud: It has Kurds.

[00:07:04]Mahmoud: And it has Arabs.

[00:07:06]Mahmoud: And they all live together.

[00:07:07]Mahmoud: Like brothers.

[00:07:08]Host: Are there Turkmen?

[00:07:09]Mahmoud: There are no Turkmen.

[00:07:11]Host: Weren't there originally Turkmen here?

[00:07:12]Mahmoud: In the past.

[00:07:14]Mahmoud: But they moved away.

[00:07:15]Host: Mmm.

[00:07:16]Mahmoud: The Arab tribes.

[00:07:20]Mahmoud: The Mukhtar is Ajili.

[00:07:22]Mahmoud: And this group, they call them Jriyat.

[00:07:27]Mahmoud: And there is the Hamada Bannawiya family.

[00:07:30]Mahmoud: They are all like brothers, there is no difference.

[00:07:32]Host: And the Kurds, their families?

[00:07:33]Mahmoud: The Kurds, the families that used to live here...

[00:07:37]Mahmoud: As the Mukhtar said, the Souran family...

[00:07:40]Mahmoud: The Kour family...

[00:07:42]Mahmoud: The Krizli family...

[00:07:45]Mahmoud: And also, also...

[00:07:48]Mahmoud: The Battal family...

[00:07:50]Mahmoud: The Hrek Al-Sheikh family.

[00:07:52]Mahmoud: And the Arabs are their maternal uncles.

[00:07:56]Mahmoud: And those people moved away, they used to live down there as well...

[00:07:59]Mahmoud: They used to call them Masla.

[00:08:01]Mahmoud: They moved away.

[00:08:03]Mahmoud: Yes.

[00:08:04]Mahmoud: And currently, the village has developed and grown, it used to be just 13 houses, now it's over 80 houses...

[00:08:10]Mahmoud: Around 100 houses.

[00:08:12]Host: Yes. Now, were they all mud houses?

[00:08:14]Mahmoud: Yes, all were mud houses and mud blocks.

[00:08:17]Host: And mud blocks?

[00:08:18]Mahmoud: And wood.

[00:08:19]Host: Wood roof?

[00:08:20]Mahmoud: Wood roof, they used to put pillars for them, so they wouldn't collapse.

[00:08:24]Host: When did the first concrete house appear here? I mean in what period, concrete meaning cement?

[00:08:29]Mahmoud: The first concrete was...

[00:08:34]Mahmoud: Currently it's the house of Mr. Hanan up there...

[00:08:37]Mahmoud: The first concrete pour happened there.

[00:08:40]Host: In what year?

[00:08:42]Mahmoud: It must have been in the sixties.

[00:08:44]Host: The sixties?

[00:08:45]Mahmoud: Yes, before that it was all mud houses.

[00:08:47]Host: And then slowly, cement started taking over...

[00:08:49]Mahmoud: Taking over the mud and replacing it.

[00:08:51]Mahmoud: They replaced everything with cement.

[00:08:54]Host: Okay, now I want to ask you...

[00:08:55]Host: I mean historically, how was the relationship between the people of the village, from all components?

[00:08:59]Mahmoud: Well, all the time, I mean...

[00:09:02]Mahmoud: United and beloved and such, yes internally, simple things, they resolve them.

[00:09:08]Host: Yes, what were the common traditions among them? The beautiful common values between them? What are they?

[00:09:12]Mahmoud: Honestly, everything, everything is nice in times of joy and sorrow.

[00:09:15]Mahmoud: In everything there was no dispute, even...

[00:09:18]Mahmoud: Even if I wasn't on speaking terms with the Mukhtar, God forbid, if someone from us or them died, you'd see all of us at the graveyard, all together, there are no such things at all.

[00:09:26]Host: I want to ask you, there was a well-known custom in the countryside that villagers help each other during the seasons.

[00:09:31]Mahmoud: In the seasons, in the... parties, in times of sorrow as I told you, but nowadays such things are gone.

[00:09:37]Host: Boiling wheat (Sliqa)?

[00:09:38]Mahmoud: Sliqa.

[00:09:39]Host: Remember for me now the Sliqa and grinding bulgur.

[00:09:42]Mahmoud: This Sliqa, bulgur, harvesting, they harvest together...

[00:09:48]Mahmoud: They harvest olives together.

[00:09:50]Mahmoud: It wasn't with money.

[00:09:52]Mahmoud: They helped each other, the farmers.

[00:09:54]Host: They all helped each other?

[00:09:54]Mahmoud: All of them.

[00:09:55]Host: From land to land?

[00:09:55]Mahmoud: From land to land, and even threshing with the Jarjar and the Nawraj.

[00:09:58]Mahmoud: Come on, neighbor...

[00:10:00]Mahmoud: Come on over..

[00:10:00]Man: ...children?

[00:10:01]Old Man: It has six digits, Mahmoud.

[00:10:02]Host: 84, mashallah. A long life!

[00:10:08]Old Man: Seven, seven boys and two girls.

[00:10:10]Host: May God keep them for you. Tell me about your memories.

[00:10:13]Host: In the good times, when you came here.

[00:10:15]Old Man: Here?

[00:10:17]Host: Yes, good memories.

[00:10:20]Old Man: Let me tell you, not only here.

[00:10:22]Old Man: In the whole region.

[00:10:24]Host: How so? Tell me about a good memory.

[00:10:26]Old Man: When we were young,

[00:10:28]Old Man: we used to wander,

[00:10:30]Old Man: we used to go to friends and relatives in the region.

[00:10:33]Old Man: You could see everyone felt like one household.

[00:10:36]Old Man: There were no strangers.

[00:10:40]Host: Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

[00:10:42]Host: Were there celebrations? Anything during harvest time?

[00:10:44]Old Man: Of course.

[00:10:45]Host: Tell me about them.

[00:10:47]Old Man: For example, when we wanted to harvest the fields.

[00:10:50]Old Man: Or during the olive or tomato harvest, something like that.

[00:10:52]Host: The harvest.

[00:10:54]Old Man: Yes, they celebrated and sang songs.

[00:10:58]Old Man: They danced traditional dances (Dabkeh/Dîlan).

[00:11:00]Host: Wow.

[00:11:01]Old Man: Likewise, when they ground the wheat, they did the same thing.

[00:11:03]Host: Do you know any of the things they used to say or sing? Do you remember?

[00:11:06]Old Man: Not even a little?

[00:11:08]Old Man: Songs, I don't know any at all.

[00:11:10]Old Man: My passion was reading.

[00:11:12]Host: Reading?

[00:11:13]Old Man: I only had a primary school education, and I read a lot.

[00:11:14]Host: Tell me about this. What did you read?

[00:11:17]Old Man: I think that the Eastern man only thinks about getting a certificate.

[00:11:21]Old Man: Like a driving license, if a policeman comes, he shows it to him.

[00:11:25]Old Man: But an educated person should be like a supermarket.

[00:11:29]Host: An educated person should be like a supermarket?

[00:11:32]Host: Oh my, it has everything in it.

[00:11:33]Old Man: Everything.

[00:11:34]Host: What did you read?

[00:11:37]Old Man: I... I read the memoirs of Anthony Eden.

[00:11:40]Old Man: I read the Indo-Chinese Letters (Book).

[00:11:43]Old Man: I read about... Boza (Book).

[00:11:48]Old Man: I read the German writer, Nietzsche.

[00:11:51]Host: Yes, Nietzsche.

[00:11:52]Old Man: Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

[00:11:56]Old Man: Many of these.

[00:12:00]Host: From here your interest in the history of the region began.

[00:12:03]Old Man: Yes, I even read the history of Socialism.

[00:12:05]Old Man: I read it. The history of the Communist parties as well.

[00:12:08]Old Man: I read everything, I left nothing out.

[00:12:12]Host: History, politics, and religion.

[00:12:15]Old Man: Religion, politics... what politics?

[00:12:18]Old Man: There is no politics at all.

[00:12:20]Host: Anthony Eden. The memoirs of Anthony Eden. The former British Prime Minister.

[00:12:22]Old Man: Anthony Eden failed. He failed after the war over the Suez Canal.

[00:12:26]Old Man: And he was removed from power.

[00:12:30]Host: May God give you strength, Uncle Mahmoud.

[00:12:37]Old Man: May God give you strength too, welcome, my pleasure.

[00:12:39]Host: Thank you very much.

[00:12:40][Music playing]

[00:12:50]Host: A fair amount of the village's residents

[00:12:54]Host: are displaced people from different parts of Syria.

[00:12:57]Host: As you can see, there are tents

[00:13:00]Host: in the southwest of the village,

[00:14:47]Man: By God, a lot.

[00:14:48]Host: Where did you come from?

[00:15:13]Woman: We live in tents.

[00:15:16]Woman: In houses of hair (tents), I mean how else would it be?

[00:15:19]Woman: Cold, snow, a heavy freeze... And we are under God's protection.

[00:15:22]Host: May God give you strength. So, what do you want to do?

[00:15:25]Woman: What kind of work do you do? How do you live?

[00:15:28]Woman: By God, we work in the fields. We have become laborers, we are here and there... We even went to Lebanon to work, but it was useless. No work and no money.

[00:15:30]Host: What do you work in?

[00:15:35]Woman: In potatoes, olives, as laborers. Nothing else.

[00:15:38]Host: What do the young men do?

[00:15:40]Man: By God, we are unemployed, we don't do anything.

[00:15:43]Host: Are there no jobs here like harvesting olives?

[00:15:45]Man: There used to be, but now there are no olives.

[00:15:48]Host: Free labor like construction, is there none?

[00:15:50]Man: By God, there isn't.

[00:15:51]Woman: By God, there is no work.

[00:15:55]Host: When you want to buy something, do you buy from the village or go somewhere else?

[00:15:58]Woman: By God, those in the village can buy from neighbors. Those who have money go and get it from elsewhere.

[00:16:01]Host: So there are no shops, etc. in the village?

[00:16:04]Woman: In the village... May God help them. The village... by God, God helped them. May God reward them in this world and the hereafter.

[00:16:07]Host: How many years have you been here?

[00:16:10]Woman: It's been a year since we came.

[00:16:13]Host: A year.

[00:16:14]Woman: Yes.

[00:16:15]Host: Where did you come from exactly?

[00:16:18]Woman: By God, we came from Zerba.

[00:16:21]Woman: From Zerba to Sahara, by Al-Jawamaa.

[00:16:24]Host: We wandered from village to village, one village after another, and we stopped here.

[00:16:27]Woman: We stopped here.

[00:16:31]Host: I'll ask you one last question. It caught my attention.

[00:16:34]Host: What is this dress you are wearing?

[00:16:37]Woman: This one, we call it a Thobe (dress). Could you show me, please?

[00:16:39]Host: Of course! Not a problem.

[00:16:41]Host: This is a Thobe, is it like this in your region or here?

[00:16:43]Woman: No, this is our region's.

[00:16:44]Host: Where? Zerba.

[00:16:45]Woman: We are east of Zerba.

[00:16:46]Host: Where, exactly?

[00:16:48]Woman: Tal Al-Daman.

[00:16:49]Host: Tal Al-Daman! Okay, what do you call it? This, this dress?

[00:16:50]Woman: We call it a Thobe, this is a house Thobe.

[00:16:53]Host: A house Thobe. Why a "House Thobe"?

[00:16:57]Woman: Because as the Arabs call it, it is a commercial Thobe.

[00:17:00]Host: Commercial. Is there another one called an elegant (Muqassab) Thobe?

[00:17:03]Woman: Yes, there is the elegant one... made of Indian silk.. there are.

[00:17:06]Woman: I mean... these Thobes are, as they say, sold commercially.

[00:17:09]Host: May God give you strength.

[00:17:11]Woman: May God give you strength too.

[00:17:12]Host: Thank you. May God reward you. May God give you strength, work well. May God provide for you.

[00:17:15][Music starts]

[00:17:25]Host: One of the most important landmarks of the village...

[00:17:28]Host: Besides the Valley of Hell,

[00:17:31]Host: which we will visit soon.

[00:17:34]Host: The Village Spring.

[00:17:37]Host: The Village Spring, which is in the south of the village, as I said,

[00:17:40]Host: flows into the river that

[00:17:44]Host: goes to the Maydanki Dam.

[00:17:47]Host: The people here used to drink from this spring.

[00:17:50]Host: And I guess that to this day,

[00:17:54]Host: they might use this water to irrigate the agricultural lands and even...

[00:17:58]Host: use it for drinking.

[00:18:00]Host: We will visit it, get to know it.

[00:18:03]Host: This spring is now in front of us.

[00:18:06]Host: As you can see, it is a bit weak,

[00:18:09]Host: probably because this year's rainy season is light.

[00:18:12]Host: But it is clear that it comes out from the bottom.

[00:18:15]Host: It is clear that it comes out from the bottom. This is the water.

[00:18:20]Host: It is clear that it comes out from under this rock, or from inside.

[00:18:24]Host: It contains some...

[00:18:29]Host: Dry branches.

[00:18:33]Host: Here it seems that people come and sit around the spring, fill water, and wash.

[00:18:36]Host: Their animals drink water and maybe...

[00:18:41]Host: When the water is abundant, they might use it to irrigate their lands.

[00:18:44]Host: And their orchards drink from it.

[00:18:48]Host: Of course, next to it...

[00:18:51]Host: On the right side of the valley there are tents.

[00:18:54]Host: Displaced people's tents are set up near the spring.

[00:18:57]Host: So that they can use it (the spring's water).

[00:19:00]Host: For washing, drinking, or watering livestock.

[00:19:04]Host: We are now going to the Valley of Hell. Come with us.

[00:19:08][Music Playing]

[00:19:27]Host: We are now going to the Valley of Hell.

[00:19:30]Host: The Valley of Hell is also in the south of Al-Bayyada.

[00:19:34]Host: And it separates Al-Bayyada from...

[00:19:37]Host: the village of Ayn Eloo.

[00:19:41][Music playing]

[00:20:00]Host: It is clear that the valley is majestic.

[00:20:09]Host: Very deep, and the wind is high and strong.

[00:20:17]Host: This is the Afrin River, clearly. The Afrin River flows towards Maydanki.

[00:20:23]Host: The village of Maydanki, which has a dam, the Maydanki Dam is there.

[00:20:27]Host: And this village, the village that is visible behind us, is Al-Bayya'a or Wergan.

[00:20:36]Host: We will walk a little to the left of the valley.

[00:20:43]Host: Of course, there is a danger that a person might lose their balance.

[00:20:49]Host: While walking on the slope of this valley, God forbid they might fall.

[00:20:59]Host: This plant you see in the form of terraces, taking the shape of the valley, is the Sarcopoterium spinosum (Bellan) plant.

[00:21:11]Host: Of course, it is a thorny plant.

[00:21:16]Host: This is the true extension, or rather, the true structure of the Wadi Jahannam (Valley of Hell).

[00:21:29]Host: Which is an extension of the valley, or the course of the Afrin River.

[00:21:38]Host: It is deep.

[00:21:41]Host: There are definitely birds here in the summer, spring, and autumn.

[00:21:47]Host: They fly over this valley and drink from its water.

[00:21:52]Host: And maybe sometimes they also come down and settle here.

[00:22:00]Host: We will now head down towards the village once again.

[00:22:09]Host: Now we are done with Wadi Jahannam, we will go back to the village again.

[00:22:15]Host: We will take a short tour there, to get to know its small neighborhoods.

[00:22:21]Host: And its narrow streets, and continue our tour.

[00:22:24]Host: Notice how the houses are actually built on the slopes of this low mountain.

[00:22:31]Host: Let's say slightly elevated, they are built in a very, very beautiful way.

[00:22:36]Host: A small village, but very, very beautiful.

[00:22:47]Host: The roads are very rugged in this village.

[00:23:15]Host: The village entrance, and this is the mosque as you can see.

[00:23:18]Host: We will now head right towards the school.

[00:23:38]Host: This is the school.

[00:23:50]Host: Of course, the school is only a primary school.

[00:23:54]Host: The students continue their studies either in Azaz, or in... or in Sharran.

[00:24:43]Host: Peace be upon you.

[00:24:44]Teacher: And upon you be peace and the mercy of God.

[00:24:46]Host: May God give you health.

[00:24:47]Teacher: May God give you health.

[00:24:48]Host: May we know your name?

[00:24:49]Teacher: Hanan Ismail, the principal of Wergan School.

[00:24:51]Host: Welcome.

[00:24:52]Teacher: May God keep you safe.

[00:24:53]Host: May God give you health.

[00:24:53]Teacher: May God give you health.

[00:24:54]Host: Now, before I ask you about the people here, the school, and the education.

[00:24:57]Host: This rock caught my attention, what is this rock?

[00:24:59]Teacher: Well, it's a very old rock, I expect it's a volcanic rock.

[00:25:03]Teacher: I mean, in ancient times, there was a volcano, and these volcanic lava flows came down.

[00:25:09]Teacher: And they settled here in this village.

[00:25:11]Teacher: And most of the rocks in this village are all black volcanic rocks.

[00:25:15]Host: But it's not visible, I haven't seen anything similar in the village.

[00:25:18]Host: It seems like it's here alone, standing out like this.

[00:25:20]Teacher: No, they are distributed, but as I told you, they are very old.

[00:25:23]Teacher: So they are covered with dirt, covered with grass or something like that, that's why.

[00:25:27]Host: Okay, so the rocks in this area might be basaltic.

[00:25:30]Teacher: God knows best.

[00:25:31]Host: Alright, let's talk about the community.

[00:25:33]Host: Tell me about the nature of the people here, sir.

[00:25:35]Host: Since you are a school principal, and you are from the village, you definitely know what their nature is.

[00:25:41]Host: Tell me about the nature of the community.

[00:25:43]Teacher: The nature of the community here, the people who work here are all in agriculture.

[00:25:48]Teacher: And in raising livestock and animals.

[00:25:52]Teacher: Education is very weak here, people don't encourage their kids.

[00:25:56]Teacher: They don't encourage their children to attend schools.

[00:25:59]Teacher: I have been a school teacher here for about seven or eight years.

[00:26:04]Teacher: The number of students present is never proportional to the number of residents.

[00:26:08]Teacher: There are about 500 people in the village right now.

[00:26:14]Teacher: The students in the school don't exceed 100 students, for example.

[00:26:18]Teacher: The school I have has students from the first grade to the fifth grade of primary school.

[00:26:23]Teacher: And the people here, most of them, as I said, rely on agriculture and raising livestock.

[00:26:27]Host: Now, are the 500 people a mix of displaced persons and the village residents, or?

[00:26:31]Teacher: Displaced persons and village residents.

[00:26:33]Teacher: Most of them rely on farming, and there is no other profession.

[00:26:38]Teacher: If there were another profession, for example, someone going outside the country or the city to work in another trade, there isn't any.

[00:26:44]Teacher: They are all in the village, either farming or agriculture.

[00:26:48]Teacher: Or they are sending their kids back and forth with the livestock.

[00:26:51]Host: Tell me, at what age does marriage happen here? For young men and women?

[00:26:56]Teacher: Regarding marriage, there are marriages at the age of 17 or 18 due to old customs and traditions.

[00:27:01]Teacher: There are families that rely on that.

[00:27:03]Teacher: And there are more open-minded families that marry over the age of 20 or 22.

[00:27:08]Host: Currently 20, 22 years old.

[00:27:10]Teacher: Approximately, yes.

[00:27:11]Host: Are weddings still taking place here?

[00:27:13]Teacher: Yes, there are weddings, there are weddings.

[00:27:14]Host: How do they take place?

[00:27:15]Teacher: Our weddings here, the customs and traditions of this village, its weddings are mixed.

[00:27:19]Teacher: I mean, we have, you definitely know that the village has Arabs and Kurds together, living together.

[00:27:24]Teacher: And their weddings are all mixed together.

[00:27:27]Host: Mixed meaning they happen outside? Or inside?

[00:27:30]Teacher: In the village, meaning mixed, there is a square in the village.

[00:27:32]Teacher: In the village square they hold the wedding, a party, an evening gathering, and that's the wedding.

[00:27:37]Host: Mixed, and also all the components participate in it.

[00:27:39]Teacher: Of course, of course, mixed, men and women together.

[00:27:42]Teacher: And the existing components, Turkmen, Arabs, and Kurds, all together.

[00:27:46]Host: Well, the style, what is the wedding style they adopt? Is it Arab, Turkmen, or Kurdish?

[00:27:51]Teacher: A mosaic. There are Kurdish songs, Turkmen songs, and Arabic songs.

[00:27:55]Teacher: They sing from the three existing components.

[00:27:58]Host: Do you memorize any of these songs to just give me their names, without singing them?

[00:28:02]Host: Whether Arabic, Kurdish, or Turkmen.

[00:28:05]Teacher: Well, the songs, the dabke and party songs, I don't remember. They are folk songs.

[00:28:11]Host: Well, these two piles here caught my attention.

[00:28:14]Host: And they are visible in all the streets and roads of the village as pruned branches, what are these?

[00:28:18]Teacher: These are the pruned branches of grapevines, grapes, and grape leaves.

[00:28:21]Teacher: They prune them, bring them to their homes, cut them all up, and keep them.

[00:28:25]Teacher: So they can light a fire for cooking, and for operating the heater in the winter.

[00:28:29]Host: Great. May God give you health, sir.

[00:28:31]Teacher: May God give you health and welcome, sir, my greetings, welcome.

[00:28:54]Host: Oh God. Peace be upon you.

[00:28:57]Man: And upon you be peace.

[00:29:00]Host: How are you?

[00:29:01]Man: Well, thank God.

[00:29:03]Host: May we know your name?

[00:29:04]Man: Welcome, Adel Sheikho.

[00:29:05]Host: Welcome. Are you from the village?

[00:29:07]Man: From the village, a resident of the village.

[00:29:08]Host: Welcome. You have sheep, it seems, I see you have lambs.

[00:29:13]Man: Yes, there are lambs and, thank God, there are sheep, we have some.

[00:29:16]Man: But we can't keep up with their expenses, we are selling from them to spend on them.

[00:29:20]Host: Alright, let's go inside a bit. Oh God.

[00:29:24]Host: Let's share. Are these all Awassi sheep?

[00:29:27]Man: Yes, all are Awassi.

[00:29:28]Host: All of them. Are only Awassi sheep raised in this region?

[00:29:30]Man: All are Awassi.

[00:29:31]Host: Now, I know that here in this specific village, they raise goats more than sheep.

[00:29:37]Man: There are goats, there are sheep, there is a mix.

[00:29:41]Man: There are, I mean, there are goats and there are sheep.

[00:29:44]Host: Do you have goats?

[00:29:45]Man: I don't have many, I might have about 10 goats and the rest are sheep.

[00:29:50]Host: Why is it that I heard that goats are even more common than sheep here, why?

[00:29:54]Man: In the mountain there are trees and things, the goats can live by foraging, not like sheep.

[00:30:00]Man 1: Sheep need expenses, they need fodder.

[00:30:03]Reporter: Can't sheep live on grazing land, do they need hay?

[00:30:05]Man 1: No, they can't live, they can't live.

[00:30:07]Man 1: Sheep now need a lot of fodder.

[00:30:10]Man 1: And now fodder is expensive, we sell some of them to spend on them.

[00:30:14]Reporter: How many heads of sheep do you have?

[00:30:16]Man 1: It comes to 80, 90 heads.

[00:30:18]Reporter: 80, 90 heads. In the village in general, how many are there, goats and sheep?

[00:30:21]Man 1: By God, the village, I can't give you a number, I mean there are over 1000, 1500 heads.

[00:30:29]Reporter: What is the percentage of people relying on raising goats and sheep in their lives?

[00:30:34]Man 1: By God, it's mixed, some raise goats, some raise sheep for example...

[00:30:41]Reporter: Excuse me, how much I mean, for example, 20%, 30% of the village people?

[00:30:47]Man 1: I mean it's approximately 20% or something like that, approximately.

[00:30:50]Reporter: Relying on animal husbandry. Are there cows?

[00:30:52]Man 1: No, there are no cows.

[00:30:54]Reporter: There are no cows.

[00:30:55]Man 1: There are no cows.

[00:30:56]Reporter: Today, what is the situation of animal wealth with you? Now you told me that everything is expensive, expensive, what is expensive? Tell me.

[00:31:02]Man 1: By God, it's expensive, a kilo of hay is 400.

[00:31:06]Man 1: Barley is 700.

[00:31:08]Man 1: And there is no financial means to keep up with it.

[00:31:10]Man 1: We are selling from them, going to get food to feed them.

[00:31:15]Man 1: We are taking them to the market, selling and bringing them fodder.

[00:31:19]Reporter: May God give you health.

[00:31:20]Man 1: May God give you health and a hundred welcomes, may God keep you safe, welcome sir.

[00:01:57]Narrator: من أشهر معالمها وادي جهنم جنوب القرية، والذي يفصلها عن قرية عين علو في الجنوب أيضاً.

[00:02:06]Narrator: وأيضاً نبعة الضيعة كما يسمونها هنا، والتي تقع أيضاً في جنوبها.

[00:02:12]Narrator: البياعة توجد في منطقة تغص بالآثار التاريخية.

[00:02:16]Narrator: وخاصة الجسور الموجودة في قرية عرب ويران، والجسور الرومانية الموجودة في دير صوان.

[00:02:24]Narrator: إضافة إلى قلعة النبي هوري التي تبعد عن القرية اثني عشر كيلومتراً باتجاه الشمال.

[00:02:31]Narrator: يعتمد أهلها على الزراعة وخاصة زراعة الزيتون والرمان والكرمة.

[00:02:37]Narrator: وعلى تربية الماعز والأغنام.

[00:02:40]Narrator: يشكل أهالي القرية فسيفساء سورية متميزة من الأكراد والعرب والتركمان.

[00:02:48]Narrator: ورغم وجود مدرسة ابتدائية في القرية، إلا أن نسبة التعليم فيها متدنية.

[00:02:54]Narrator: بسبب نمط الحياة المعتمد على الزراعة وتربية الحيوانات.

[00:03:05]Narrator: ورقان أو البياعة، ورغم وجودها في منطقة تزدحم فيها الآثار الرومانية والحثية.

[00:03:12]Narrator: إلا أن وجودها الحقيقي ربما لا يعود إلى أكثر من منتصف الفترة العثمانية.

[00:03:18]Narrator: والقرية الحالية وسكانها الحاليين ربما لا يزيد عمرهم عن مئة سنة على أكثر تقدير.

[00:03:26]Narrator: للحديث عن تاريخ قرية ورقان أو البياعة، يسرنا أن يكون ضيفاً معنا..

[00:03:30]Narrator: العم محمود عبدو، أحد أكبر الرجال المعمرين في هذه القرية والمهتم بتاريخها.

[00:03:43]Host: يعني وجود ورقان هون، بهي المنطقة هي بالذات، شو أهميته؟

[00:03:54]Mahmoud: جسر عرب ويران.

[00:04:04]Mahmoud: دير صوان، وجسر التاني الروماني على نهر صابون.

[00:04:08]Host: تمام، وعنا قريب من هون قلعة النبي هوري.

[00:04:11]Mahmoud: قلعة النبي هوري شماليتنا.

[00:04:13]Host: إيوه، ونهر عفرين بيمر غربيتنا.
