- Abstract
During the restructuring period of perestroika in the 1980s, Turkmen literature entered a new era. This era witnessed the emergence of a new generation of Turkmen writers who focused on national history, life, and consciousness in their literary works. With the independence of Turkmenistan in 1991, a new phase of Turkmen Literature, known as the Independence Era or New Turkmen Literature, came into being. This period saw the exploration of themes such as independence and national identity in Turkmen literature, resulting in remarkable literary works. One of the notable contributors to this literary movement is Oraz Yagmur, also known as Oraz Yagmir or Oraz Yagmirov in different sources. His real name is Orazdurdi Gurbanovic Yagmirov. Oraz Yagmur made significant contributions to literature, particularly in the form of novels and short stories. His most renowned novel is titled "Duman Daganda" (When the Mist Rises). Another notable work of his is "Magtımgulınama", a literary piece that delves into the life of the famous Turkmen poet Mahdumkulu. Oraz Yagmur also ventured into poetry and actively participated in poetry events. His poems have been published in Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan. As a researcher, Oraz Yagmur attended scientific conferences in various countries and presented papers. The articles he wrote have been published in numerous newspapers and magazines across these countries. Additionally, he translated the poetry of Turkish Sufis such as Mevlana, Yunus Emre, Hacı Bektaş Veli, and Turk poet Niyazi Yıldırım Gençosmanoğlu from Turkish into the Turkmen language. These translated poems have been published under the titles "Poetry Anthology of the Turkish World" and "Cubs of the Gray Wolf". He also published the poems of İbrahim Edhem under the title "Edhem Divana - Poem". Apart from his literary and research contributions, Oraz Yagmur wrote articles and books to reintroduce Karacaoğlan, a poet who was banned during the Soviet period, to the people of Turkmenistan. He also authored a book called "I am Ataturk" to honour the founder of the Republic of Turkey, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, in Turkmenistan. Oraz Yagmur organized commemoration days in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, to celebrate Turkish poets such as Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Karacaoğlan, Mevlana, Hacı Bektaş Veli, Yunus Emre, and Ataturk. For his contributions to the Turkish World, Oraz Yagmur received numerous awards, including the "Republic of Turkey Order of Merit" in 1999 and the "Service to Turkish Culture Award" in 2008. This article sheds light on the life, literary achievements, works, and significance of Oraz Yagmur in Turkmen literature and the wider Turkish World literature, highlighting his remarkable contributions to the field.
