“I have not left Dersim for 97 years. I have always lived in our village and never wanted to leave my land. I spend my life here and stayed here. This is the land of my childhood, youth, and old age. Everything used to be beautiful, but life is no longer like that and everything has changed, even the people. I hope this new generation don’t leave their lands like us and preserve it.”
