[00:04:13]Mukhtar: The village of Khilneer, its name, its part is Khilneer, meaning the place, a great landmark from ancient times, we don't know since when.

[00:04:21]Mukhtar: But its name is Khilneer, meaning the great scholar.

[00:04:25]Host: And some said it's Khalil the Stallion?

[00:04:27]Mukhtar: Yes, Khalil the Stallion, they say that too.

[00:04:33]Mukhtar: Right, right.

[00:04:34]Host: The current people who live in it now, how long have they been here?

[00:04:38]Mukhtar: There are about 150 houses here.

[00:04:41]Host: No, how long have they been living here?

[00:04:44]Mukhtar: They have been here for a long time, we don't know, since the days of the caves, since the days of the hills.

[00:04:49]Host: Who are they?

[00:04:50]Mukhtar: Who are they? Kurds.

[00:04:51]Host: From which tribe?

[00:04:52]Mukhtar: We don't know about their tribe, they are Kurds who lived here anciently. And the Kurdish scholar Khilneer remained, since when we don't know, for thousands of years.

[00:05:03]Host: Give me the names of the families here.

[00:05:05]Mukhtar: The families here are Jaqliya, a family named Jaqliya, belonging to the Jaqli tribe.

[00:05:15]Mukhtar: And there is the Abdo Naso family, older than us. And there is the Alko family, also older than us.

[00:05:24]Mukhtar: And there are other families that came down here 100 years, 200 years ago, they migrated and settled in Khilneer.

[00:05:32]Mukhtar: The old ones remained here now, we are the Alko family, the Jaqli family, and the Abdo Naso family, these are the ones who remained living in it until now.

[00:05:41]Mukhtar: Including small families that also came and settled in Khilneer. And lived in it, married their children, they are present now.

[00:05:48]Host: Now what I understood is that the original one who came here, from Jaqli, is Ali Bakir.

[00:05:54]Mukhtar: Yes, Ali Bakir.

[00:05:55]Host: Ali Bakir came, he got into a fight with his cousin, he hit his cousin and killed him.

[00:05:59]Mukhtar: In Besni.

[00:06:00]Host: Where is Besni located?

[00:06:01]Mukhtar: In Turkey.

[00:06:02]Host: In Turkey, before the Ottoman era, because the borders were open. And he came and lived here in this area, Jweik, Jaqli, and Khilneer.

[00:06:12]Host: Who was living here in this area?

[00:06:14]Mukhtar: In this area, there was the Hassana Afandiya family, they were ruling the area. And then my grandfather Ali Bakir came and lived here in this house.

[00:06:24]Mukhtar: He built, founded, and stayed for about 100 years, more. Anyway, after him until now we are here as one family, following one custom and ethics in this village.

[00:06:38]Host: Now what I understood is that there are 47 caves here. Before you came here.

[00:06:44]Mukhtar: Before we came.

[00:06:45]Host: People used to live in them.

[00:06:46]Mukhtar: Yes, even now, you see.

[00:06:52]Mukhtar: Names, what is it called, Qapsho cave, meaning here, it is below us here. And there is another cave, Salan cave.

[00:07:01]Mukhtar: There are other caves too, Soseh. Strange names, we don't know what their origin means.

[00:07:08]Host: They are not related to this village?

[00:07:09]Mukhtar: No, not related, no.

[00:07:11]Host: But when the people of the village came, they lived in them.

[00:07:13]Mukhtar: Yes.

[00:07:14]Host: Okay, was there water here?

[00:07:16]Mukhtar: There was no water, there were surface springs running water to this, what is the valley's name.

[00:07:22]Mukhtar: Tezbi Valley, the valley opposite us is called Tezbi Valley.

[00:07:26]Host: Okay, this valley that we see. That the village is built on its northern slope. What is this valley called?

[00:07:35]Mukhtar: This valley they call it Tezbi Valley, Geliye Tezbi. Yes, this area is with this name, known by this name.

[00:07:42]Host: Okay, the first ones who came here, were they shepherds, merchants, what were they?

[00:07:48]Mukhtar: We don't know about the ancient era, they were, it was all forests, they were forests.

[00:07:53]Host: Didn't they have sheep?

[00:07:55]Mukhtar: Sure they have, no sheep they don't have, goats for sure they had.

[00:07:58]Host: They had goats?

[00:07:58]Mukhtar: They had goats, because it's forests, right.

[00:08:00]Host: Forests, yes true. Now you are telling me Jweik is far from here, north, one kilo.

[00:08:06]Mukhtar: About one kilometer, yes.

[00:08:08]Host: One kilometer. Is there an asphalt road between you and them?

[00:08:10]Mukhtar: There isn't, there is a paved road but not asphalt. It's difficult for them.

[00:08:14]Host: Remains of quarries.

[00:08:16]Mukhtar: Yes.

[00:08:17]Host: Meaning you are now in need of a road that connects you to it.

[00:08:19]Mukhtar: Sure.

[00:08:20]Host: Now the road to Afrin, is it closer from Jweik or from Kfarsheel?

[00:08:24]Mukhtar: No, from Jweik is closer.

[00:08:25]Host: Closer.

[00:08:26]Mukhtar: This is Jweik, and this is Kfarsheel after us there from the west.

[00:08:29]Host: Meaning from Jweik is closer to you than from Kfarsheel.

[00:08:32]Mukhtar: Yes.

[00:08:33]Host: Yes. Now today, meaning what are the customs and traditions here? The customs and traditions of the people?

[00:08:48]Host: Nice.

[00:08:49]Mukhtar: No one deceives, enters the village from the Ottoman days and before the Ottoman days, no one enters here.

[00:08:54]Host: Why?

[00:08:55]Mukhtar: To the extent that we are united, loving. We don't like bad things, because we love life in its natural form.

[00:09:02]Host: But I heard quoting you, that you are a bit violent.

[00:09:05]Mukhtar: That's violent for sure, being a mountainous nature for sure they will be violent. Because living with wild animals, living with gangs, for sure we need to be violent.

[00:09:14]Host: No no, not gangs, not gangs.

[00:09:16]Mukhtar: Not today's gangs, old gangs.

[00:09:18]Host: Yes, old. Now your mood is a bit tough like this.

[00:09:22]Mukhtar: Our mood is tough because we are raw, instinctive.

[00:09:24]Host: You love quickly, get angry quickly, and reconcile quickly. You forgive quickly, isn't it like that?

[00:09:30]Mukhtar: Yes, yes. Because we don't keep anything in our hearts, we say a word, right away why did you speak, we hold him accountable directly, we clear the hearts.

[00:09:36]Host: You don't carry much in your hearts.

[00:09:37]Mukhtar: We don't carry anything in our hearts.

[00:09:38]Host: Generous?

[00:09:39]Mukhtar: Generous, we hold back nothing, you say a good word you take everything from us.

[00:09:44]Host: Do you like strangers?

[00:09:45]Mukhtar: We like strangers, yes, a polite stranger, we respect them.

[00:09:48]Host: Any other village I don't know.

[00:09:50]Mukhtar: Here a stranger comes, we give him our eyes. All of them are good, but any person who comes to Khilneer as a stranger, we respect him, that this is a stranger, we must respect him.

[00:16:16]Son 1: By God, the olives in the past... there wasn't, meaning there wasn't production.

[00:16:20]Son 1: But a few years ago, every tree yields a sack, a sack...

[00:16:24]Son 1: A sack, and in the mountains it yields a sack and two jerrycans (of oil).

[00:17:12]Host: So can we consider pomegranates a primary crop that people live on?

[00:17:14]Son 1: Yes, of course!

[00:17:15]Host: Is there good pomegranate here?

[00:17:16]Son 1: Big pomegranates, and they yield well...

[00:17:20]Host: Hajji, did you have any water springs here? Flowing or not? Wells, are they all wells?

[00:17:25]Man: By God, I'm 80 years old now, I've never seen flowing water.

[00:17:31]Host: In our area here, there was no flowing water.

[00:17:33]Man: Never. There is an ancient... well.

[00:17:37]Host: An old Arab well, ancient.

[00:17:38]Man: Yes. Old. That is old.

[00:17:41]Man: Its water was like ice.

[00:17:43]Host: You used to drink from it.

[00:17:44]Man: Cold, yes of course! The whole village used to drink from it.

[00:17:46]Host: And water the animals from it?

[00:17:48]Man: Yes, of course. No, the animals from that well...

[00:17:51]Man: It has two wells here. One for the sheep, the goats, the cows, the beasts...

[00:17:57]Man: And one for drinking, here for the village. That one...

[00:18:02]Host: Right now, where do you drink water from?

[00:18:04]Man: From a well, what's it called... Are you drinking water from the well now?

[00:18:06]Son 1: Artesian.

[00:18:08]Man: Artesian. Yes, artesian. The whole village's well... artesian.

[00:18:12]Man: And that old one, they completely closed it.

[00:18:14]Host: They closed it. Tell me about the condition of the people here. How is the situation of the people here?

[00:18:17]Son 1: Praise be to God. The people's condition is good. Now, before it wasn't good. Now, praise be to God, it has become good.

[00:18:23]Son 1: The olive trees started, they started producing, there's a harvest. Meaning the financial situations became good.

[00:18:29]Host: The average people's situation, meaning are the majority of people poor...

[00:18:34]Host: Or middle-class, or is their condition good... honestly?

[00:18:37]Son 1: No, in this village there isn't anyone whose situation is very good, because it's a mountainous area...

[00:18:41]Son 1: Meaning the harvests aren't a lot... not like the plains...

[00:18:44]Son 1: Praise be to God, they get by, praise be to God, in any case.

[00:18:48]Host: So generally, people are middle-class or below.

[00:18:49]Son 1: Middle. Middle, and maybe even less than middle as well.

[00:18:51]Host: Alright. May God give you strength.

[00:18:53]Host: I just want to ask the Hajji.

[00:18:54]Woman: Yes?

[00:18:54]Host: Yes Hajji, just bear with me for a bit!

[00:18:56]Woman: By God... I don't know... I don't know Arabic...

[00:18:58]Host: The Hajji is telling me that you used to sing...

[00:19:01]Host: Meaning in Kurdish!

[00:19:03]Woman: [Laughs] Sing? No, by God, no.

[00:19:05]Host: Tell me about your children, how many children do you have? May God protect them.

[00:19:08]Woman: Yes?

[00:19:19]Woman: By God, I never sing for the state. [laughing]

[00:19:23]Woman: I don't sing... in my life... By God, I haven't sung in my life.

[00:19:27]Host: How was it before... didn't you go to weddings?

[00:19:30]Woman: No, no... I don't know how to do it... I neither dance nor sing.

[00:19:34]Host: Why?

[00:19:35]Woman: Just because.

[00:19:36]Host: On your wedding day, you didn't sing?

[00:19:38]Woman: No.

[00:19:38]Host: On your son's wedding day?

[00:19:42]Woman: Your son's wedding?

[00:19:43]Woman: No. By God, by God I didn't sing.

[00:19:46]Host: May God give you health. We enjoyed it very much.

[00:19:49]Host: May God give you health. God willing, we will see you like this with your children... and your grandchildren, and you'll be happy.

[00:20:22]Host: At the Hajj's place.

[00:20:23]Man: Yes.

[00:20:23]Host: But they said there is a press?

[00:20:24]Man: There is a press, an old press here, did you see it?

[00:20:26]Host: What is the situation with this press?

[00:20:27]Man: This press is about 150 years old.

[00:20:30]Host: 150 years?

[00:20:31]Man: 150 years, yes.

[00:20:31]Host: Please go ahead.

[00:20:32]Man: Please.

[00:20:33]Host: But it seems its building is new?

[00:20:34]Man: The building is new, but the press machines are old here.

[00:20:37]Host: Explain to me.

[00:20:38]Host: Let the camera just see the light.

[00:20:41]Host: Yes, what is here?

[00:20:42]Man: Here they drop the olives from here.

[00:20:43]Host: I see.

[00:20:44]Man: They put them from sacks, they drop them from here.

[00:20:45]Man: This is a spiral.

[00:20:46]Host: I see.

[00:20:47]Man: It brings them here to the grinder.

[00:20:48]Man: It's called a stone, in Kurdish they say 'hacer', this is a grinder.

[00:20:51]Man: A kneader, I mean it kneads it and grinds it.

[00:20:53]Host: Was this originally pulled by horses?

[00:20:54]Man: Originally it was horses.

[00:20:56]Man: But now this has become electric.

[00:20:58]Man: It works on a motor, on a generator.

[00:21:00]Host: I see, its age?

[00:21:01]Man: Its age is roughly, I mean, 150 years.

[00:21:03]Host: 150 years.

[00:21:04]Man: Yes.

[00:21:05]Man: It comes from here...

[00:21:06]Host: I see.

[00:21:06]Man: The dough comes out, it comes from here.

[00:21:08]Man: From what's it called... from the stone it goes down to here.

[00:21:11]Host: Yes.

[00:21:12]Man: And there is a table here, they put it between the bags here.

[00:21:16]Man: And from the bag they put it on the presser.

[00:21:18]Man: On the presser.

[00:21:19]Man: On the press, I mean.

[00:21:21]Host: The presser, it presses the pomace to extract the oil.

[00:21:23]Man: Originally it was manual, they would turn it manually.

[00:21:26]Host: Mm.

[00:21:27]Man: Toothed, I mean a gear was...

[00:21:29]Man: Now it has become a piston.

[00:21:30]Host: So they modernized it.

[00:21:31]Man: Yes, a piston.

[00:21:32]Man: Oil comes down from here from the presser and goes down to these... wells.

[00:21:36]Man: To the wells.

[00:21:38]Man: From the wells, these wells.

[00:21:40]Man: There used to be a separator here, now they have taken it apart.

[00:21:43]Man: Pure oil comes out of the separator and is put into tins.

[00:21:47]Host: Perfect.

[00:21:48]Host: Now, how long has this press been stopped?

[00:21:50]Man: This has been stopped for about 10 years.

[00:21:53]Host: 10 years.

[00:21:54]Man: Yes, since 10 years ago, and they were working.

[00:21:58]Man: But now that there are all modern presses, it is no longer profitable.

[00:22:03]Host: So this press used to press for Xelnir and the surrounding villages.

[00:22:06]Man: Yes indeed.

[00:22:07]Host: Right?

[00:22:08]Man: They used to press, yes.

[00:22:09]Host: Was this a cave previously?

[00:22:11]Man: This one no, this is a new building.

[00:22:12]Host: No, I mean this press wasn't in a cave?

[00:22:14]Man: No, not here.

[00:22:15]Man: There in the village there was a cave, there was a press in it from old times.

[00:22:18]Host: An old press.

[00:25:15]Host: How are you, brother Yusef?

[00:25:16]Yusef: Welcome, Mr. Mustafa.

[00:25:17]Host: You honored us.

[00:25:18]Yusef: Welcome, welcome, in the name of God, come in.

[00:25:20]Host: Yusef Xelniri, one of the young men of Xelnir...

[00:25:23]Host: Who are craftsmen and professionals, a man of taste who likes to work like this...

[00:25:28]Host: With wood, I mean, if we want to call it that.

[00:25:30]Host: I mean, he uses natural materials.

[00:25:34]Host: Olive wood, apple tree trunks, and he makes emzeks from them.

[00:25:39]Host: And he makes walnuts from them.

[00:25:40]Host: And he manufactures, I mean, antiques, toys, and things that are all ashtrays.

[00:25:44]Host: All things, I mean, that suit homes, I mean artistic things.

[00:25:49]Host: Tell me a little about your passion for these things, brother Yusef?

[00:25:52]Yusef: Well, this profession, I mean...

[00:25:54]Yusef: As coming from me, I mean, I looked at it as a good profession, I mean.

[00:25:58]Yusef: I craft this thing.

[00:26:00]Yusef: And I started with the, what's it called, I mean small sceneries.

[00:26:03]Yusef: Like they call it in Arabic, the mashrab.

[00:26:07]Host: The smoking pipe.

[00:26:08]Yusef: In Kurdish, it's called an emzek.

[00:26:10]Yusef: Yes.

[00:26:10]Yusef: We started with them and put in some sceneries.

[00:26:13]Yusef: For example, like a buzuq, this is a Kurdish buzuq.

[00:26:16]Host: I see.

[00:26:17]Host: How do you distinguish that this is a Kurdish buzuq?

[00:26:19]Host: From the Turkish buzuq for example, or...

[00:26:21]Yusef: I mean, it's known in Kurdish and Turkish, you know what I mean.

[00:26:24]Yusef: For the Arabs, they have the oud.

[00:26:26]Host: It becomes an oud.

[00:26:27]Yusef: No, the oud, I mean, is Arabic music.

[00:26:30]Yusef: But the Kurdish is known for the buzuq, and the Turkish.

[00:26:32]Host: Perfect.

[00:26:33]Yusef: These are them.

[00:26:34]Yusef: And these emzeks for example...

[00:26:36]Yusef: I mean, someone might desire, for example, such a scenery...

[00:26:39]Yusef: It's not a condition to smoke from it, I mean, one puts it as a decoration at home and so on.

[00:26:43]Yusef: And we work on them.

[00:26:44]Host: What else do you work on?

[00:26:45]Yusef: Well, we can work like these, I worked on them as sceneries in the shape of a butterfly.

[00:26:50]Yusef: And I mean, statues, I can make.

[00:26:53]Host: From carving, what do they call it?

[00:26:55]Yusef: Carving, exactly, and from wood as well, engraving.

[00:26:58]Host: Engraving on wood.

[00:26:59]Yusef: I engrave on wood too.

[00:27:00]Host: Do you draw?

[00:27:01]Yusef: I have a drawing hobby too.

[00:27:03]Host: What do you draw?

[00:27:04]Yusef: Well, natural sceneries, whatever it is.

[00:27:07]Host: Now you live in nature, your house here is, I mean, located on the southeastern side of...

[00:27:13]Yusef: Of the village, right.

[00:27:15]Host: I see, and therefore you live in nature, is it inspiring you?

[00:27:18]Yusef: Nature pulls you, it as a...

[00:27:21]Yusef: I mean, how can I say it, it gives you a feeling to work on this thing.

[00:27:25]Host: Oh wow.

[00:27:26]Yusef: You know what I mean, I mean you look around you at mountains and beautiful sceneries.

[00:27:30]Yusef: Like the sunset or such for example, the sunset.

[00:27:33]Yusef: I mean you look around you, and especially opposite us is Afrin for example, the plain of Afrin, and the village of Kafr Shil and so on for example.

[00:27:38]Yusef: I mean, it's a beautiful scenery.

[00:27:40]Host: It gives you inspiration.

[00:27:41]Yusef: Yes, inspiration, I mean you don't like for life and these sceneries to pass you by, you know what I mean.

[00:27:46]Yusef: For example, you like to always be dreaming of it.

[00:27:48]Host: Perfect, perfect.

[00:27:49]Host: The tools you work with, what are they?

[00:27:51]Yusef: The tools are just this knife.

[00:27:53]Yusef: A small knife.

[00:27:55]Yusef: And then for example, after we finish with the decoration...

[00:27:58]Yusef: We sand it with sandpaper...

[00:28:00]Yusef: We fix it, and a drill, I have this, I mean tools that are all without electricity.

[00:28:05]Host: Manual tools, I mean.

[00:28:06]Yusef: Manual, all manual.

[00:28:08]Host: All manual.

[00:28:09]Yusef: All manual, and we start to, for example, we turn it for example, just so that, so that it smoothens the, what's it called...

[00:28:15]Yusef: And then we fix it...

[00:28:16]Yusef: And finally...

[00:28:18]Yusef: After we are done for example...

[00:28:20]Yusef: I mean, from this shape...

[00:28:22]Yusef: We put the varnish on it...

[00:28:24]Yusef: Or for example they call it lacquer.

[00:28:26]Yusef: We fix it and... a beautiful look comes out.

[00:28:30]Yusef: And I can try one in front of you too if you want.

[00:28:32]Host: Have you tried to work something in commerce, I mean, do commercial work?

[00:28:35]Yusef: No, commercial no.

[00:28:36]Host: Just as a mood like this.

[00:28:37]Yusef: A mood, a mood, it's not for business or for example in commerce or such.

[00:28:41]Yusef: It's just that, for example, someone comes to your friend for example, someone wants a thing as a gift...

[00:28:46]Yusef: You give it to him for example, it stays with him as a memory.

[00:28:48]Yusef: You know what I mean.

[00:28:50]Host: May God give you health, brother Yusef.

[00:28:51]Yusef: May God give you health, welcome, you have honored us by God.

[00:28:53]Host: Good luck God willing, so that we see you have paintings and we see you have, I mean, things like sculptures.

[00:28:58]Host: God willing, so that you participate with them in exhibitions, God willing.

[00:28:59]Yusef: God willing, a hundred welcomes and we are honored.

[00:29:01]Host: May God honor you, oh Lord, welcome.

[00:29:02]Yusef: May God give you health.

[00:29:09]Host: The beautiful mountainous nature of Xelnir, which has valleys and has many types of fruitful and non-fruitful trees and flowers...

[00:29:18]Host: Gives a person a very beautiful inspiration.

[00:29:20]Host: So he loves drawing, and he loves carving, and also he loves music.

[00:29:24]Host: And the people of Xelnir, by their nature, are a people who preserve heritage, customs, and folklore.

[00:29:28]Host: Shukri, who you are now seeing behind me, is now playing the buzuq, the ancient popular Kurdish instrument known as the tamboura...

[00:29:36]Host: He is now playing Kurdish melodies.

[00:01:11]Narrator: خلنير، قرية سورية جميلة بنيت على الضفة الشمالية لواد يخترقها من الجنوب الشرقي باتجاه الشمال الغربي.

[00:01:22]Narrator: وهي تقع شمال غرب مدينة عفرين في ريف حلب الشمالي بخمسة كيلومترات، كما أنها تقع شمال غرب مدينة حلب بخمسة وستين كيلومتراً.

[00:01:34]Narrator: تطل من جهتها الغربية الجنوبية على سهل جوم، سكانها الأوائل من الأكراد السوريين الذين قدموا إليها منذ أكثر من ستمائة عام،

[00:01:46]Narrator: وسكنوا في المغارات التي تحيط فيها من جهاتها الأربع.

[00:01:51]Narrator: يسكنها حالياً أكثر من مئة عائلة من سكانها الأصليين، إضافة إلى عوائل سورية مهجرة قسراً من كافة المناطق المختلفة.

[00:02:01]Narrator: يعتمد سكانها في حياتهم على الزراعة وتربية المواشي وعلى تجارة الحبوب والزيت وعلى بعض المهن والحرف،

[00:02:12]Narrator: حيث يوجد فيها أكثر من سبعين ألف شجرة زيتون إضافة إلى ثلاثمائة رأس من الأغنام والماعز.

[00:02:22]Narrator: يوجد فيها مدرسة ابتدائية واحدة تعود إلى عام ألف وتسعمائة وسبعين، إضافة إلى معصرة زيتون واحدة،

[00:02:30]Narrator: وترتفع فيها نسبة التعليم وحملة الشهادات الجامعية من كافة التخصصات.

[00:02:37]Narrator: يتميز أهلها بالفطرة الطيبة وكرم الضيافة والطبيعة القاسية في نفس الوقت.

[00:03:18]Narrator: تاريخياً هناك روابط اجتماعية مشتركة بين قرية خلنير وقريتي كفرشيل وجويق، الكل ينتمون إلى عشيرة كردية واحدة.

[00:03:29]Narrator: أهالي القرية قدموا إلى هنا منذ أكثر من ستمائة عام. للحديث عن تاريخ خلنير، يسرنا أن نرحب بضيفنا مختار القرية، المختار زياد محمد قوشو.
