Description:Musa tells us that the villagers had a fight over the location of the building of the new school in the village in 1965. Many villagers were taken to prison as a consequence. The neighbouring village took this opportunity and raided the village of Beth Qustan. The mukhtar of the villag try to have a dialogue with the neighbouring village to settle their differences, but they did not welcome his proposal and they killed him. They destroyed their vineyards and filled their wells with stones. The Qusneans then defended themselves and attacked the intruders and killed a few of them too. This arguments lasted for 7-8 years.
The Beth Qustan dialect of the Central Neo-Aramaic, Turoyo, which is the language of Tur 'Abdin, South Eastern Turkey, with an estimated 20 families remaining in the village.This project will document socio-cultural practices of the Turoyo speaking community in Tur 'Abdin, focusing on vernacular tales, particularly those that demonstrate cultural interaction between Muslims and Christians, including Muslim visitations to the shrines of Christian saints, and consultation of soothsayers by Christians.
