Adonis Diaries

This set used in theaters was owned by the Syrian Abkar Kanajian who fled the town of Urfa (in current Turkey and which was part of the Aleppo district) and fled to Aleppo ahead of the Turkish genocide in 1915 and carried with him his wooden box as the most precious of belonging.

This trove of pantomimes were fabricated with camel skin and rendered transparent for light.

The grand grand daughter Sona Tatoyan returned from America looking for the old wooden box and found it via the Syrian institution that saved antic artifacts “الأمانة السورية للتنمية“

The grand daughter of Sona was Abu Artine, famously known for his sandwiches of meat with cherry (cerise) “La7mi bi 3ajeen wa karaz” in the quarter of Mount Ariha in Aleppo

الدمى هذه دليلا دامغا على “سورية مسرح كراكوز وعيواظ”

الكشف عن كنز وطني تراثي سوري في حلب

عندما حمل الشاب الأرمني “أبكر كناجيان” مواليد 1895م صندوقه الخشبي هاربا من المذابح التي كادت تصل إلى مدينته أورفا في عام 1915م، كان يحلم بأن يتم انقاذ موجودات صندوقه كما يتمنى انقاذ زوجته وأطفاله من الموت ذبحا.

غيره حمل مصاغا ذهبيا ليساعده على المعيشة بعدما فقد كل ما يملك أما أبكر فقد حمل صندوقه الخشبي فقط. كان كنزه الوحيد.

الملجأ الوحيد لسكان أورفا التي كانت تابعة لحلب وتعد جزءا من سوريا حينها كان مدينة حلب التي احتضنت الهاربين من المذبحة.

حافظت أسرة “أبكر” على الصندوق مغلقا في مكان أمين وتوارثته أبا عن جد.

عندما توفي أبكر حوالي عام 1940 كان الصندوق أمانة في عنق ابنه أرتين وعندما أنجب أرتين أكبر ابناؤه بيدروس انتقلت الامانة له.

بيدروس هو بكل بساطة أبو أرتين صاحب مطعم وفندق أبو أرتين في جبل أريحا، هذا المطعم الذي اشتهر عالميا بتقديمه وجبه ” اللحمة بكرز” الفريدة من نوعها.

بعد وفاة أبو أرتين حمل ابنه الأكبر أرتين أمانة المطعم ومعها أمانة صندوق جده الأكبر “أبكر”.

تدمر المطعم و الفندق في أريحا وسافر معظم أفراد العائلة وقبع الصندوق بانتظار من يعيده للحياة.

الحفيدة الجميلة “سونا تاتويان” عادت بعد اغتراب طويل لتبحث عن صندوق جدها.

عندما طرحت “الأمانة السورية للتنمية” مشروع اعتبار كراكوز وعيواظ جزءا من التراث السوري الانساني واستطاعت البدء بمشروع ادراجه على لائحة اليونسكو للتراث العالمي .

تواصلت سونا مع الأمانة التي قدمت لها كل التسهيلات.

حان الوقت لكي تبحث “سونا” عن موجودات الصندوق وتظهره للعالم.

الجد “أبكر” كان من أهم صانعي دمى مسرح “كراكوز وعيواظ” في المنطقة ، هذه الدمى التي تصنع من جلد الجمل الذي يعالج حتى يصل لمرحلة الشفافية للضوء ثم يقص على شكل رجال ونساء وحيوانات و يلون بألوان طبيعية يدويا.

وتتميز هذه الدمى بوجود مفاصل حركة لها، تجعلها تتحرك بسهولة بعد تعليقها بعصي خشبية لتقدم عروضا مسرحية شعبية ،

كانت في حينها االبديل الوحيد عن السينما ولاحقا التلفزيون اللذين لم يكونا قد اخترعا بعد.

لا يوجد في العالم أجمع مجموعات باقية من هذه الدمى تتجاوز عدد الأصابع.

توجهت “سونا” عندما وصلت حلب بعد غياب طويل إلى حارات مدينتها القديمة، وأشعلت شمعة في مقام”مارجرجس الخضر” في باب النصر داعية الله لمساعدتها بالعثور على صندوق جدها الخشبي.

تكللت عملية البحث بالعثور على الصندوق الخشبي وفيه ما يزيد على المائة وخمسين قطعة سليمة تماما من هذه الدمى الفريدة التي لا تقدر بثمن.

كانت الدموع تسيل على وجهها وهي تخرج دمى جدها من الصندوق لترى الضوء مجددا، كانت تشعر أن جدها قد عاد للحياة.

تشكل مجموعة المتنوعة الدمى هذه دليلا دامغا على “سورية مسرح كراكوز وعيواظ” وعلى تنوع شخصيات هذا المسرح مما يؤدي لتنوع قصص مسرحياته.

كانت الفكرة السابقة عن هذا المسرح أنه مؤلف من أربع أو خمس شخصيات فقط وأن عدد مسرحياته محدود باثني عشر نص مسرحي شعبي فقط.

مجموعتي الشخصية النادرة من هذه المسرحيات المسجلة بالصوت الاصلي للخليلاتي الحلبي محمد الشيخ والتي تعود لعام 1915 م كانت اثني عشر تسجيلا فقط.

عندما سألت “سونا” – التي تحمل عدة جنسيات عالمية ( الأرمنية والأمريكية ) وتقيم في الولايات المتحدة حاليا- هل تعتبرين تراث “كراكوز وعيواظ” الذي حفظه جدك “أبكر” أرمنياً؟

أجابت بكل بساطة:

نحن سوريين، وأول ما فعلته عند وصولي لسوريا هو تقديم طلب لاستلام هويتي الشخصية السورية.

مع الشكر الجزيل للصديق و الأخ محمد ساري لإيصال هذه المعلومة لي

ملاحظة : الأورفليين ( نسبة لأورفا) هم سريان يتكلمون الأرمني ويوجد حي في حلب اسمه حي السريان لأنه سكانه اورفليين من اورفا ولغتهم ارمني سرياني مختلط يعني بلهجة اورفا… اسمه حي السريان ليتميز ان سكانه سريان مش أرمن…وهيك

Serious Diplomacy never take place if Not backed by real Power

I wrote many notes and comments on Fb, related to the Ukraine war and decided to gather them in a comprehensive article.

Does the World need more refugees?

Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and even Hungry will be “welcoming” Ukraine refugees, along with Canada….by the hundred of thousands and may reach 3 millions if the war Simply because they are Europeans and continue.

All these countries have denied Middle-East refugees access to their borders and forced them to live in tents all winter along their closed borders.

Can you disconnect from the shock of seeing this happen in front of our eyes again, the war, the pain, the destruction, the displaced people and most importantly, children having their childhood stolen from them.

Here we are in 2022, innocent people and their children are subjected to tragedy because International colonial powers are itching for some kind of war activities. Why?

Since USA position is just to only impose financial sanctions on Russia, this bad USA scenario is at an end. And Russia will activate its military plans

Russia relies on Germany and China for its economy and barely depend on other countries.

Putin said recently in a televised announcement:

“USA invaded Iraq without UN green light. Destroyed Iraq under false excuses.

(The irony is that Iraq paid its dues under the 7th resolution, a few days ago, to be removed from the list).

USA invaded Syria without international agreement and didn’t care for international laws…

What kinds of guiding rod is the USA giving to the world community concerning human rights?”

In preparation for the Ukraine war, Russia swiftly put down the “mass” demonstrations in Kazakhstan which was funded by the USA.

Kazakhstan is the largest nation of the former Soviet Union

USA was planning on using Daesh terrorist tactics in the war in Ukraine and many of these terrorists were transferred there from Syria.

The idea was that Russia invasion will be a regular, slow, and progressive war.

Initially, the Russian military operation was to “neutralize” all the regions east of the Dnieper River and to occupy the last port of Ukraine on the Black Sea.

Apparently, the Russia war tactics was generalized on 3 fronts and swift and destroyed all the military centers in Ukraine and forced the Ukraine forces to retreat haphazardly or made prisoners.

Germany agreed that there is No security and peace in Europe without the cooperation and coordination with Russia security and economic stability

The SWIFT USA banking system take a cut on every financial transaction around the world. Every day, billions (trillions?) of transactions cross the SWIFT system.

No wonder that Biden didn’t impose, so far, a SWIFT sanction on Russia since this system is the backbone for USA financial power and profit

If banned from SWIFT USA banking transactions, how much costlier your transactions can be?

If China is Not banned from SWIFT, will China reaps the profits of transactions done via her banking system?

50 days is the Time it would take Russia to produce what’s in the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Will USA be pressured to open up its reserve if Russia cut off the gas/oil pipeline?

In any case, Europe will pay back dearly for the increased price of gas/oil after Russia re-open the flow.

6 weeks is the Time it would take Europe to run out of natural gas if its supply from Russia was cut off

USA is intent on monopolizing the wheat import/export to the Middle-East.

Will consuming Rice become our main staple if:

1) Russia does Not pressure USA to vacate East of the Euphrates region, and

2) Russia fails to pressure Turkey to open the dams in order to restore the flow of water into the Euphrates and Tigres Rivers?

Russia at the UN declared that the Golan is an intrinsic part of Syria

Turkey and Israel are in big trouble if this military operation in the Ukraine does Not find a political resolution. And soon. The chicken will return to roost

There are about 4,000 Lebanese in Ukraine. A third are students.

There are about 8,000 Israelis in Ukraine.

I conjecture most of the Israelis are involved in International crimes of fraud, embezzlement, and human trafficking.

They will return to Israel to avoid criminal charges because other European nations will crack down on them.

Ukraine is surrounded on 3 fronts, and Rumania is denying Ukraine military planes from crossing its air zone

Yet the sudden concern for international law regarding Ukraine is nowhere to be found when it comes to Israel’s illegal occupation and annexation of Palestinian and Syrian land, and its imposition of an apartheid regime on the entire Palestinian people – a crime against humanity.

No. They are Not playing “Russian” roulette, USA and Russia. They are playing a game for an international arrangement on the economic balance sheet.

No one is playing roulette in the Ukraine scenario.

USA wanted Russia to lean toward Europe and USA and keep China in the cold.

To pressure Putin westward, USA included many Eastern European State into NATO and especially Poland, and installed missiles and military and naval bases and centers.

Putin knew that Ukraine will be out of EU and NATO, simply because Russia will inevitable destroy all USA military installations in Ukraine: No roulette game is such a case.

Putin reacted by invading Chechnya, Crimea and many parts of Georgia and parts of Ukraine… and backed Syria

The USA knew that China is backing Russia financially for him to be able launch military expeditions without much of an economic foundation.

Putin decided that China is a better strategic partner.

Beside, Germany is umbilically linked economically with Russia and will circumvent any economic sanctions

USA scenario came too late for any kinds of roulette game

the US Democratic delegation’s trip to Jerusalem sends a clear message to Israel that it may Act with impunity regarding Palestinians’ human rights.”

Bad timing, even in the case of Ukraine. Biden is meddling haphazardly in order to diffuse the troubles his administration is surrounded with.

Zionists clink to their heaven countries such as Ukraine and Israel for their international crimes of fraud, embezzlement, racketeering… without facing justice..

A commentator said: USA is paying back the price of decades of unilateral invasions, and ignoring Russia feedback. USA got involved in Libya and assassinated Kaddafi, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria (the state tightly linked to Russia for 5 decades)

Note 2: What country will step in to replace Ukraine as a hub for international criminal activities? I conjecture it will be Poland since it will host most of the Israeli Zionists refugees

Note 3: Turkey will have to bow down on many concessions: Like opening the dams for regular water flow in the Euphrates and Tigers Rivers in Syria and Iraq. Turkey will have to start withdrawing its troops from Syria. And the city of Idlib on the border with Turkey will be resolved

Note 4: Israel is in big trouble and its frequent air aggressions on Syria will be reduced to a bare minimum. Russia declared at the UN that the Golan Heights are an integral part of Syria.

Note 5: Russia is a continent by itself. If it closes its airspace, then how costly will it be to air transport avoid this space and the arctic space? Even maritime transport across the newly opened navigation lines will be disrupted.

Note 6: Israel: A hub for international crime and swindling: https://adonis49.wordpress.com/…/apartheid-created…/
