Yunus Emre, Karacaoglan, Mahtumkulu Line In Turkmenian Literary Tradition

WOS: 000273237700005Yunus Erare and Karacaoglan, two poets from Anatolian region, are known and popular also in Turkmenistan. These two Anatolian poets have affected Turkmenian poets. Among impressed poets is also Mahtumkulu, which is accepted and known as the greatest Turkmenian poet. The above mentioned affect consists not only of working on the same themes, but also of using the same formel expressions. Yunus Emre has touched on some social themes, but he has worked mostly on religious and mystical topics. Karacaoglan has given some place to religious and mystical topics, but he has concentrated on human love and profane themes time to time. These two sources are united in Mahtumkulu's work. Analysing his poems, we could find deep impress of Yunus Emre, as well as of Karacaoglan. These mutual points should be seen as product of mutual world-view, mutual taste and mutual literary tradition
