Description:Eliyo tells us that a village raid took place on 12 March 1965. This began with a conflict amongst the Christians in the village and then expanded to a village raid by Muslim outsiders on the following day. At the time, there were more than 100 families in the village. More than 20 Christians and 20 Muslims were arrested. The Muslim Agha, Khalile Rasho, instructed the Muslims to take this opportunity and to raid Beth Qustan village. The villagers saw the Muslims when attacking the village and they warned them not to go ahead with their instructions. They ignored the villagers and came to the village and they killed Eliyo's uncle, Shabo Be Ghezallo. Many were injured from both sides of the conflict. The bullets of the Muslims had left holes in many houses. Women and children were crying. Eliyo then focus on the house of his father and how they survived this raid.
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.

Eliyo was born in the village of Beth Qustan in 1948 and emigrated to Germany in 1975.
