[00:54]Host: We will come before you with a new episode.

[00:56]Host: And today we will be guests of the village of Xelnêrê.

[01:58]Narrator: The village of Khalneer was established around four hundred years ago.

[02:03]Narrator: And the first to inhabit it was Grandfather Khal.

[02:06]Narrator: The village was named after him, in addition to the word "Neer" meaning manhood.

[02:12]Narrator: The village is surrounded by a group of villages.

[02:14]Narrator: From the east Kafr Shila, and from the northeast Musanka.

[02:19]Narrator: And from the north Juqay, and from the northwest Dargir.

[02:23]Narrator: And from the west Gundê Mazen, and from the south Ma'rata.

[02:26]Narrator: As for the village boundaries, the road is surrounded by mountain ranges on all sides.

[02:31]Narrator: Except for the east side, which is open in the form of a valley into which all the village's valleys flow.

[02:37]Narrator: Among the mountains surrounding the village, starting from the northeast:

[02:40]Narrator: Sirta Musange, Sirta Merxe, Sirta Saraqe, Sirta Qara Baba, Sirta Xoce, Cirne Hesen, Sirta Zil Xabudre.

[02:48]Narrator: It is the highest point among the mountains surrounding the village, reaching a height of 435 meters above sea level.

[02:56]Narrator: And finally we have Qaraca Evdek and Kurta Heme.

[03:00]Narrator: As for the valleys, there are many inside the village and some surrounding it.

[03:05]Narrator: Some of their names: Hiri Chaqalon, Geli Pile, Geli Ali Chawish, Geli Hasane Ibe, Geli Pire.

[03:13]Narrator: Geli Qishle, Geli Zumu, Geli Sheikh Hassan, Geli Naiske, Geli Abdi Xelil, Geli Newale Kergia.

[03:20]Narrator: "Kêrgî" means rabbits, and it was named this due to the abundance of rabbits in it.

[04:11]Villager: Firstly, this village...

[04:15]Villager: It was built approximately three or four hundred years ago, so it's not an ancient village.

[04:21]Villager: In this village...

[04:23]Villager: Two brothers, cousins, brothers, whoever they were, came and settled in this village.

[04:28]Villager: And they dug and secured a well up there...

[04:32]Villager: It is still dug, that village, and drinking stuff, houses, village, gardens...

[04:39]Villager: Our terrain, our well digging, is black stone...

[04:45]Villager: We had a well there, when it got blocked it was full.

[04:54]Villager: Then the villagers' livestock and animals increased, sheep increased, cattle increased...

[04:58]Villager: This place, instead of this neighborhood, was all threshing floors.

[05:04]Villager: There were threshing sledges, there were workers, there were laborers, in the village...

[05:10]Villager: All the threshing floors of the village were piled up here.

[05:13]Villager: Near sixty or seventy threshing floors, a hundred threshing floors were placed here.

[05:18]Villager: The vetches, the lentils, the barley, wheat, all were by the threshing floor, under this tree.

[05:24]Villager: This well...

[05:26]Villager: The village populace, the village sheep, relied on this well.

[05:32]Villager: They took drinking water for the village from the well.

[05:36]Villager: They placed the troughs for sheep before it, bedded them down, sheltered their sheep, gave them water...

[05:46]Villager: The village cattle herd was large.

[05:48]Villager: They came and watered all their herds at it.

[05:50]Villager: All the cattle rested until the evening milking and until the noon rest.

[05:56]Villager: All were by the threshing floor, under this tree.

[05:59]Villager: And this tree...

[06:02]Villager: They say we [got] the seedling of Abdi Use from Xelnêrê...

[06:06]Villager: This tree was a small seedling, because Abdi Use brought it and came...

[06:10]Villager: He said let me plant it in the soil of this place, the water of this well is near, that is.

[06:14]Villager: Five meters, six meters approximately.

[06:16]Villager: He said let me plant it.

[06:18]Villager: So the age of this tree is also ancient, this tree is from long ago.

[06:23]Villager: The village expands, some village houses were there...

[06:27]Villager: And the threshing floors, the place of threshing floors, became villagers' houses, no space was left.

[06:31]Villager: And this well...

[06:33]Villager: We call it the Kolan well (The Dug Well).

[06:35]Villager: Kolan (Dug).

[06:37]Villager: The village families, our clan, they call us Çeqelî.

[06:42]Villager: And there are other Kurds who say we are Reşwan.

[06:45]Villager: Our Kurds, some here use surnames a lot, say our basis is Reşwan.

[06:51]Villager: Basis.

[06:53]Villager: Then in this place when the village flourished they called it Çeqelî.

[06:56]Villager: We named ourselves Çeqelî.

[06:58]Villager: They say the well of Haci, Haci Sheikho.

[07:04]Villager: Haci Sheikho's well.

[07:05]Villager: But the village...

[07:07]Villager: But before this, by how many years... meaning the newly dug well...

[07:11]Villager: Haci Sheikho dug it.

[07:12]Villager: They named it Haci Sheikho's well, that is.

[07:16]Villager: Well, the other one [the old well], we didn't see who dug it...

[07:18]Villager: That one is near the other.

[07:20]Villager: That is an ancient ruin, that was dug when the village was still being settled.

[07:25]Villager: When that was dug, the village was settled, the wells were solitary.

[07:29]Villager: That one was the only one.

[07:31]Villager: Then...

[07:33]Villager: After seeing three households...

[07:35]Villager: Said let us dig an Arab-style well for ourselves in our own name.

[07:39]Villager: Dug, dug, dug, water didn't come out.

[07:43]Villager: They say there was a bride of this house, she said oh day, dig in the rubble, in our ground.

[07:49]Villager: I will pay their wages.

[07:51]Villager: Said they dug the well for a day, dug for two days, water came out.

[07:55]Villager: It's the upper well. They named it Haci, Haci Sheikho well.

[08:00]Villager: Well now it is a tribe.

[08:03]Villager: There are tribespeople in Juqay.

[08:05]Villager: There are in Kafr Shila.

[08:07]Villager: We are not [just] a tribe, we are all one, these three villages.

[08:10]Villager: Mixed [intermarried].

[08:12]Villager: We are a tribe, we are not a tribe.

[08:14]Villager: We are the Reşwan tribe, that is Çeqelî.

[08:18]Villager: It's ancient.

[08:20]Villager: They are ancient.

[08:22]Villager: Very ancient.

[08:24]Villager: May you be well too, my dear.

[08:27]Villager: You are welcome, upon my head, welcome...

[10:00]Narrator: The village is sometimes called the Village of Caves, due to the abundance of caves in it. There are approximately fifty caves in it, where you can find a cave or more for every house.

[10:10]Narrator: Some are inside the village and some are around it. Among the most important are the caves of the Qishla Valley, and there are also some caves that have been named after their owners or have other names.

[10:22]Narrator: Such as Kinde Cave, Qabsho Cave, Matbakha Cave, or by the names of their inhabitants. These caves were used as houses for living, for sheep and livestock, and for livestock feed.

[10:34]Narrator: And there were no buildings for housing previously.

[10:49]Speaker 1: Welcome. I am a resident of the village of Xalnêrê (Khilnara), you are most welcome (upon our head and eyes).

[10:55]Speaker 1: Xalnêrê, its caves are famous. Its agriculture is also olives, trees, it is famous.

[11:03]Speaker 1: They used to do farming work, meaning it was agriculture, you know?

[11:06]Speaker 1: And now, we are in a cave, this place used to be an olive press (Ma'sar).

[11:11]Speaker 1: This was an olive press, it belonged to the family of Muhammad Qushu.

[11:16]Speaker 1: This is an old press. Since the year one thousand nine hundred and forty, approximately, it was operating.

[11:24]Speaker 1: Meaning its age is eighty years, the age of this press.

[11:28]Speaker 1: The press in the past, there were no machines. There were no machines, there were beams, it was by hand.

[11:35]Speaker 1: By hand... and they know, meaning, people came to the press from the surrounding villages.

[11:40]Speaker 1: They came from Marate, they came from Kafr Shil, they came from Juqê.

[11:44]Speaker 1: Meaning they came from many villages. Presses were scarce back then, there were no machines.

[11:49]Speaker 1: They came here and turned their olives into oil.

[11:52]Speaker 1: Here is its place, the place of the beam. In this spot was the beam, here was the stone.

[12:00]Speaker 1: The stone was used, they did it with livestock, there were no machines, there were no motors.

[12:05]Speaker 1: Later, after some time, they brought a motor and set it up.

[12:08]Speaker 1: It was all by hand, basically. Here they would collect their oil. They collected the oil.

[12:13]Speaker 1: Here they would place their olives. And there was a living area, there was a kitchen.

[12:18]Speaker 1: Like the modern presses, the same... meaning the design of the modern presses was taken from the old presses.

[12:24]Speaker 1: Meaning every modern thing, did not come from nowhere, it all came from the past... meaning the past had its own engineers.

[12:30]Speaker 1: These caves, there were close to fifty caves here.

[12:35]Speaker 1: The caves, meaning the people of the past were poor, they were destitute, meaning there was poverty.

[12:41]Speaker 1: Until one could not afford to build a house, meaning to occupy a house, to occupy a house among the trees.

[12:46]Speaker 1: It was all caves, their place, as you can see their place... their place for living.

[12:50]Speaker 1: And every cave has its own fireplace (vent).

[12:53]Speaker 1: They placed the livestock feed inside, they placed the straw inside.

[12:56]Speaker 1: They operated the fireplace, they cooked their dinner, the breath/smoke from inside would go out.

[13:00]Speaker 1: Every cave, meaning... had its own things.

[13:03]Speaker 1: Life used to happen in the caves in the past. The age of this village is nearly three or four hundred years.

[13:10]Speaker 1: Three or four hundred years, meaning there were no rooms, they were caves.

[13:13]Speaker 1: Shepherds came, meaning they put their sheep in them, they put their supplies in them.

[13:18]Speaker 1: In the summer they are cool and in the winter these caves are warm.

[13:25]Speaker 1: I know... it is thick (rock), meaning it is underground, it is all within the ground, let me mention.

[13:31]Speaker 1: It is not like the buildings, ready-made, tin, small... exposed to the wind, outside, this is the difference.

[13:36]Speaker 1: By God, there are many villages... villages of our tribe, this is from the Çaqalî tribe, a branch of the Reşwan tribe, you know.

[13:45]Speaker 1: And for three or four hundred years they have been on this land.

[13:49]Speaker 1: Three or four hundred years, meaning it is a lifetime. We are Afrinis, we are from Xalnêrê, we have been on this land for three or four hundred years.

[13:57]Speaker 1: Our villages are many. The tribe has ten to fifteen villages.

[14:02]Speaker 1: Surroundings, uh surroundings, Jimara comes (to mind), Kafr Shil, Juqê.

[14:07]Speaker 1: Meaning there are... there are Çaqalî in eight to ten villages in Afrin.

[14:33]Speaker 2: Yes, the village of Xalnêrê, which is famous for its caves, and until now its ancient caves, as you can see, still exist.

[14:43]Speaker 2: This village, before everything, the families here who came to the village, before everything, they protected themselves and their livestock in the caves.

[14:53]Speaker 2: Afterwards, they built this village. But their ancient caves still exist to this day.

[14:59]Speaker 2: And until now, they put their livestock and things inside there and raise them in there.

[15:40]Narrator: As for agriculture, olive cultivation was present, due to the presence of trees that are hundreds of years old in Sirt Khoji.

[15:50]Narrator: Its cultivation officially began one hundred and ten years ago. Before olives, the residents relied on vineyards as their main source of livelihood.

[16:01]Narrator: In addition to growing grains and fruit trees, and figs, apricots, apples, and pistachios were planted in the valleys.

[16:10]Narrator: As for water, their source of obtaining water in the past was a spring in the Tezi Valley.

[16:16]Narrator: And from the valleys that used to flow all year round due to the abundance of rain. Later, they dug a manual well, which is the Hajji Well, named after the one who initiated its digging, the grandfather Hajji Sheikho.

[18:30]Speaker 3: Hello and praise, from the homeland and the village of Xalnêrê, it is our home, you are welcome in peace and safety, upon our eyes (most welcome), pleasantly.

[18:36]Speaker 3: The village of Xalnêrê is a Kurdish nation. And as they say, since eternity they have found their life in this village.

[18:42]Speaker 3: And in this past, meaning it was known, the work of the past always... before, as one says, their things, their life, was with vineyards, with olives.

[18:50]Speaker 3: And it was sheep. The life of the villages was passed in this manner, as one says.

[18:55]Speaker 3: And then, the world also slowly advanced. The people, as they went down to the city, whether they went to Afrin, whether they went to Aleppo.

[19:03]Speaker 3: And technology also slowly increased as one says, humans and the world develop, naturally.

[19:08]Speaker 3: And it is a village adjacent to Afrin. Our life, the majority of it passes in Afrin naturally, at the same time.

[19:15]Speaker 3: They wake up in the morning, in five minutes they reach their work, and at the same time in the evening they come and reach their home.

[19:19]Speaker 3: Our life passes like this, praise be to God.

[19:23]Speaker 3: By God, the number of residents of Xalnêrê, those currently present living in it, as I estimate, there are around one hundred households.

[19:31]Speaker 3: Even up to ninety to a hundred (households) exist.

[19:33]Speaker 3: And the number of people of the village, whatever it was in 2004, whatever the last census was, it is approximately five thousand, five thousand and some.

[19:41]Speaker 3: Yes. And the people have scattered, naturally, let's say they are all in Afrin, they are not (all) in Afrin. Some have gone to Aleppo, some have gone to Damascus.

[19:48]Speaker 3: Some have gone to Europe, Lebanon... Xalnêrê is like this, an old village and its people have also emigrated a lot, at the same time.

[19:54]Speaker 3: We ourselves are five kilometers close to the center, to Afrin.

[19:58]Speaker 3: And our surroundings for example...

[20:00]Speaker 1: Yes, between us and our sheikh... to our north is a valley.

[20:04]Speaker 1: There is a river between us and Afrin. The Afrin River, a very wet river.

[20:08]Speaker 1: If we shout, no... the voice doesn't reach. We are all far from Afrin.

[20:12]Speaker 1: And there is a short distance between us and Afrin.

[20:15]Speaker 1: We don't even feel it, even while sitting in the village.

[20:18]Speaker 1: If you have an errand, if you have a job, in five minutes you can go to Afrin and come back.

[20:23]Speaker 1: A village inside... a place... like if you turn to the left...

[21:47]Speaker 2: Our people of Khalnere [village name]...

[21:50]Speaker 2: We came before... the Castle of Marwan, and the Castle of Marwan settled.

[21:56]Speaker 2: And they became locals [settled down].

[21:59]Speaker 2: Like two trees... they were certain, holding hands...

[22:03]Speaker 2: They were empty-handed [or hungry-handed]...

[22:06]Speaker 2: In my time, they were certain [united].

[22:09]Speaker 2: This too was certainty.

[22:11]Speaker 2: Our castle came and settled.

[22:15]Speaker 2: He thought about it...

[22:17]Speaker 2: A certainty, a mute one from here.

[22:20]Speaker 2: Could not tolerate you. How much he tolerated...

[22:22]Speaker 2: In the end, it is harsh.

[22:25]Speaker 2: In the end, they surrendered alone.

[22:28]Speaker 2: They came and were certain.

[22:32]Speaker 2: came and sat down.

[22:35]Speaker 2: The spring of 'Al...

[22:37]Speaker 2: Came and sat. May God keep the disaster away.

[22:43]Speaker 2: He is alone.

[22:47]Speaker 2: A nap... it was sleep...

[22:51]Speaker 2: They named him Khalil.

[22:55]Speaker 2: Khalil sat in this spring.

[22:57]Speaker 2: Every beam/glance...

[23:00]Speaker 2: The people, in confusion... made a plan.

[23:04]Speaker 2: Through sleep, they created wounds from below.

[23:07]Speaker 2: They gave recognition to sleep.

[23:09]Speaker 2: He made this a village too. He made this a people too.

[23:13]Speaker 2: This isn't just talk, this whole world before us is good...

[23:17]Speaker 2: ...and I spend the evenings.

[23:20]Speaker 2: Meaning... [unintelligible/idiomatic expression]... I don't know.

[23:22]Speaker 2: We explain the work of history. Not baselessly.

[23:26]Speaker 2: We cannot contain the history of everything.

[23:30]Speaker 2: History is wide, long, big, it is history, you know...

[23:34]Speaker 2: It is not only our business.

[23:36]Speaker 2: We also passed by on the wing/edge.

[23:39]Speaker 2: We all saw this history...

[23:42]Speaker 2: But for all of us, whatever living ones we have...

[23:45]Speaker 2: We live with this wound/pain.

[23:47]Speaker 2: We grew up with this living.

[23:49]Speaker 2: We grew up with this love.

[23:52]Speaker 2: History is old. It does not finish.

[23:55]Speaker 2: At no time... can we say.

[23:59]Speaker 2: But now if we still want, let us take care of our history.

[24:03]Speaker 2: Let [bad things] not happen in our life.

[24:07]Speaker 2: Good, this is history.

[24:10]Speaker 2: History is also the stone of the measurer [old man].

[24:13]Speaker 2: I won't give it to you, I will play.

[24:15]Speaker 2: Our fault, is our fault.

[24:17]Speaker 2: What isn't our fault, isn't our fault.

[24:19]Speaker 2: We don't make the people's faults our claim.

[24:22]Speaker 2: Faults regarding the people do not have a place from below [baselessly].
