The Kurdish Village of Kimar in Afrin and its Ancient Christian Ruins

Exclusive ground report with photos

While I have documented a couple of cases of Kurdish villages in the Afrin region where the original inhabitants are barred from returning because of on ongoing Turkish and/or Syrian military presence, it would be wrong to say that this situation is the norm in the Afrin region. There are other villages that tell a different story, as will be documented in this post. It is important as historians and observers that we report what we find- whether positive or negative- as part of commitment to the truth.
