🟣 Sevgi AKTAĞ ve eşi Ergün AKTAĞ Munzur Dağlarında çocukluklarından beri göçebe hayvancılık yapmaktadır. Yolu olmayan bu yaylalarda atlarıyla çoğunlukla yakacak olmak üzere kısıtlı yük taşıyabiliyorlar. Çadırda yaşamanın zorluklarından bahseden çift, tuvalet banyosu olan bir evlerinin olmasını istiyor. Yalnızlıktan şikayet eden yayla sakinleri hayvancılığın getirisi olmadığı için eskiye göre azaldığını, insanların bu işi bırakıp başka işlere yöneldiğini söylüyor. Erzincan yaylalarının son temsilcisi olan bu insanların buradaki hayatlarını devam ettirmeleri zor gibi gözüküyor. Umarız bu güzel yaylaları boş kalmaz ve kültürlerini yaşatmaya devam ederler. Özkan Özgür ve Ahmet Şanlı'ya teşekkür ederiz. Keyifli seyirler.

Nomadic Life - Tent Life
These sheep are coming.
Your people are coming, then our people are coming.
Kalar Plateau Erzincan/Turkey
Do not hit.
Come, Come!
My son!
We get up at 4 and work until 9 in the evening.
With the animal, the cheese, the milking.
We work and we don't get paid for our work.
So we work in vain, we don't get paid for what we work for.
That's why we're thinking of quitting animal husbandry.
We cannot make ends meet, we are in debt.
Barley is expensive, hay is expensive.
Our cheese is not worth it, our oil is not worth it.
Our animal is not worth money.
Get out!
Did you suck, are you hungry, heh?
It is very difficult to live under a tent when it rains.
Or when it rains, baking bread is very difficult in the rain.
Milking cattle is very difficult.
I find it very difficult now
because I have been dealing with tents and animals until this age
. And it becomes more difficult because we don't get anything in return.
If we get something in return, I won't mind that much.
Cost is high, labor is expensive.
When the animal you sell is cheap, it is necessary
. For example,
since the costs are higher than this year,
most of them quit this job.
I say leave it, but it is sold to slaughter sheep.
Then they all suffer together.
What I want from the state is that officials
should come and see our mountains.
We definitely need roads
so that we can do better sheep farming
. It didn't exist before, it is needed now.
Cheese is very cheap.
We offer a glass of tea for 100 TL and a kilo of cheese for 100 TL.
It is necessary to find a solution to this.
Farmers should be given importance.
Otherwise everyone will quit.
Look, there are no cowmen here.
Everyone sold their cows.
There used to be cow farmers here, and everywhere was full of cows.
Now there is no cow, so the man cannot afford his expenses.
I have 2 children.
I tell my children, don't do this.
So leave it, it's bad, it's very difficult.
My son is a teacher.
He is waiting to be appointed.
My daughter is also at university.
Until this age, they were always in the plateaus.
I raised my children on the plateau when they were young.
In the mud, in the rain.
I grew up with a lot of difficulties, and my children also suffered a lot.
🎶 No one knows the pain inside.
🎶 I didn't say brother, sister, hand.
🎶 My destiny is angry with my luck and does not laugh.
🎶 I didn't say fate, destiny or hand.
🎶 My destiny is angry with my luck and does not laugh.
🎶 I didn't say fate, destiny or hand.
In the past, our villagers used to do transhumance here
.
There were 50 households and 60 households of transhumant people.
But now
we are 3 people left.
There are three men engaged in animal husbandry
in the big village .
In the morning, the sheep come for milking and milking takes 2 hours.
After 2 hours, around 3 o'clock, the volley goes again.
He comes back from the pasture and comes back to the milking farm around 5:30 and 6 in the evening to be milked.
The volley goes again around 9-10 at night.
We spread it at night.
Until the morning, that sheep spreads herbs.
The next day, at noon, he comes to me again.
This is how our day goes.
We go back and forth from here by horse and take our belongings with us.
We can take the most needed items.
We cannot take other things because the road is long.
We take the most wood.
We can't take much food.
We stay here for a month, a month in the other plateau, a month in the other plateau.
We are visiting 3 plateaus, nomadic life on horses.
Rıfkı and Kadife are also looking at it.
Rıfkı is thinking broodingly.
Velvet is looking this way.
Kadife and Rıfkı will probably be upset and angry.
He says come and take me too, he took Rıfkı.
It is necessary to reconcile them.
The most difficult part of animal husbandry
is milking the animals.
Go ahead!
We have come to the end of milking.
After 2 hours of milking,
milking was over.
Now we will take our milk and filter it.
Give it to me.
Let's take the sieve too.
Our ancestors and grandfathers
migrated from Dersim and came here.
This is the first settlement of our ancestors.
As far as I know, there are 50-55
houses here and they are still private property.
Place of individuals.
There were old houses here, I grew up,
some of the houses were still standing.
Later, when it was not renovated
and there was no effort, the houses were demolished.
This place remains abandoned.
We are in this animal husbandry since we were born from our mother.
We do it all the time, but today's generation of youth
enjoys this job. He doesn't take it.
Why doesn't he enjoy it? Animals don't make money.
Livestock farming is a good profession.
I will do this job as long as I live, and I want to do it.
But see, the conditions are harsh.
Shepherds have a lot of money.
We cannot find shepherds to graze animals.
There are no local shepherds left.
There are Afghans, but there are also Afghans who know this job and some who do not.
We have difficulty in sheltering because there are no roads on the plateau
. Why do we have housing difficulties?
There is no road here.
We bring tents and try to manage with tents.
There are times when these tents
topple over and collapse in the wind.
When there is extreme wind, for example there is wind today.
If it gets a little more violent, these tents will collapse.
Or it will tear.
Tents drip in the rain when they don't use good cloth.
There must be a bathroom and a toilet in the plateaus.
If there was a road, maybe you could build a house here.
You can stay more comfortably in that house, you can do transhumance more easily.
Of course, we want the road, let it be the road.
In other words, this
is to make transhumance easier in terms of animal husbandry.
For easy transportation of animal foods and products.
The road is good for these.
But if people come and
do not use the pasture and nature in a good way,
the road is not good either.
There are such places where citizens come and visit the plateau.
It pollutes and harms nature.
There is garlic unique to Munzur Mountain in the plateaus
.
I don't think it will be available anywhere in Turkey, just a single clove of garlic.
It is only found on Munzur Mountain, it is unique to Munzur Mountain.
If citizens do not come and collect it consciously,
they will eventually damage it.
They will cause the plant to decline, but it won't happen.
When will this be harvested?
There are such citizens who come and collect garlic in May.
Then it won't add up.
Its harvest is done in the 9th month, at the end of the 9th month so that
it can fully ripen.
If the collectors do not collect it consciously, you will damage its seeds.
When it causes damage, it won't happen again the next year.
My name is Muhammad.
My real name is "Samiallah Muhammedi" in Afghanistan.
I did animal husbandry in Afghanistan.
Unemployment started.
So we got up and came here.
Then I went to Iran and worked there for a while.
I saw that the value of money decreased there.
I thought I would cross over to Turkey slowly.
I came to Turkey.
May God bless everyone in Turkey, both adults and children.
I am satisfied with Turkey.
I work for your uncle and get paid.
I am sending it to my parents too, they are waiting for us too.
There is another issue.
Here you milk the animals and make cheese. When
you make cheese and take it to the market
or give it to a tradesman,
it does not have a certain price.
The merchant sets his own price.
I buy cheese for 100 TL. If
another organization had
the support of the state
and a cooperative,
we would be able to sell our products easily.
By the state or by the cooperative.
Since it is not available, we give it to the tradesmen.
The merchant also kept the prices low this year, at 100 TL.
The product we sell for 100 TL does not cover the shepherd's money today.
Shepherd salaries are very expensive today, starting from 60 thousand TL.
So we are in a difficult situation.
The animals
spread both day and night.
She is milked twice a day.
At around 9-10 o'clock at night, the volley goes again.
He grazes day and night.
How long are you here?
We estimate that if nothing goes wrong,
we will be here for another month.
There is no road at first, the road to the plateau is a must.
Transhumance cannot be done under primitive conditions.
Now, when you go to all over Turkey,
the places with plateau roads are very beautiful.
When there are roads, nature is destroyed.
Outside people come a lot.
There is trouble.
They will stop throwing things around
, people will come and visit
nature. Unfortunately
, we also have
the ability to breathe the air but
misuse nature
