But 500 odd years ago, the land
was overrun by the Turks...

:01:06
and from that day the Greeks
and Armenians lived here...

:01:10
but as minorities.
:01:12
The Greek subject people.
:01:15
The Armenian subject people.
:01:22
They wore the same clothes
as the Turks...

:01:25
the fez and the sandal...
:01:27
ate the same food,
suffered the heat together...

:01:31
used the donkey for burdens.
:01:35
And they looked up
to the same mountain...

:01:37
but with different feelings...
:01:40
for, in fact, they were conqueror...
:01:43
and conquered.
:01:48
The Turks had an army.
:01:50
The Greeks and the Armenians
lived as best they could.

:02:16
But the day came, here in Anatolia,
as everywhere there's oppression...

:02:21
when people began to question.
:02:23
There were bursts of violence,
sudden and reckless.

:02:28
People began to wonder,
and some to search for another home.

:02:33
You say in America they have
mountains bigger than this?

:02:36
In America, everything's bigger.
:02:38
What else? What else in America?
:02:45
What are we waiting for?
:02:48
Come on you, let's go you,
with the help of Jesus.

:02:56
We better sell this ice
before it melts.
