Nizami Ganjavi took great advantage of stories and legends. Some of them firstly conveyed from mouth to mouth and the poet used them in his own works. The others emerged under the influence of poets works and spread among people. The traces of folklore are possible to be seen in Nizami Ganjavis “Khamsa” which is popular in whole world. No matter how widely spread this immortal work is in the world yet there are not as many folklorised variants in anywhere as they are in Azerbaijan. The folklore materials collected in Nakhchivan prove it. In my paper the traces of Nizami Ganjavis works will be researched within stories and legends collected in Nakhchivan.
