TWO PATRIOTIC POETS OF OGHUZ DIALECT OF TURKISH: A
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON POEMS OF BAHTIYAR VAHAPZADE
AND ABDULFETTAH RAUF ABOUT ‘MOTHERLAND’
ABSTRACT
Bahtiyar Vahapzade and Abdulfettah Rauf, although their homelands and
regions are called differently, produced their works in Oghuz dialect of Turkish, went
through alike conditions and thus exhibited similar approaches in their poems with
the theme “motherland”. Both poets have concerns about the motherland. It is
expressed as ‘complain about the situation and concern for the future’ in Vahapzade.
Whereas, it appears as ‘complain about the situation and longing for the glorious past
of the motherland’ in Rauf.
Vahapzade, in general, considers the South and the North Azerbaijan as the
motherland. However, Abdulfettah Rauf orientates his emphasis of motherland into
special places such as ‘Skopje, River Vardar, Meddah Madrasah and Islahhane Park’,
which all have special meanings for himself.
Concerns of both poets go beyond the borders of the countries that they
reside. Rauf worries about the problems in the Islamic world beyond the Balkans.
Vahapzade is anxious particularly about his motherland, Azerbaijan, especially after
it was divided into two with the Treaty of Turkmenchay. The poet is also worried
about the Turkish communities that were sent to exile or massacred such as
‘Karachays, Akhaltsikhe and Crimean’, as well as the expat Turks living in Germany.
Keywords: Abdulfettah Rauf, Bahtiyar Vahapzade, Balkan Turkish Poetry,
Azerbaijan Turkish Poetry.
