Aras Yayıncılık Halepsizler / Aras Yayıncılık / Serdar Korucu

Halepsizler brings together the story of a people who survived the disasters of the early twentieth century and emerged from the ashes in aleppo, with the story of an ancient city that turned to ash a hundred years later and tried to be reborn. The book consists of interviews conducted by serdar korucu with twenty-two armenian halesples who fled from the syrian civil war and migrated to various parts of the world, primarily armenia and turkey. These interviews not only provide a glimpse into the everyday life of aleppo before the war, but also allow us to see, through armenian eyes, the social conflicts that plunged the country into civil war and the horrors of combat. Even though syria, their homeland, has transformed from what they knew due to the conflict, the people of aleppo, who have long resisted leaving their hometown, describe how they survived the war until they made this decision and make the reader feel what it means to live with war. After each of the homsis, who were left without homs as seen by the ranger, described their escape journey, whether they made it alone by leaving their family behind or continued it with their extended family, they also reveal the inner face of life waiting for them in the places they reached, their expectations and their disappointments. Halepsizler, the lives of people who were expelled from their homes and dispersed by the violence of the war, are brought to the fore.
