NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE STRUGGLE IN THE CREATIVE WORK OF KHALIL RZA ULUTURK

Abstract

Khalil Rza entered Azerbaijani literature mainly as a poet, created epic-lyric works, and was engaged in translation work. A comprehensive study of the poet's work once again proves that he was not only a poet, but also an outstanding literary critic and scholar, and was also engaged in the study of poetic examples that emerged at a certain stage of Azerbaijani literature.

From an early age, X.R. Uluturk served the ideology of Turkism, Azerbaijanism, and independence, openly declaring his love for the Turks living in Anatolia and other regions. His behavior displeased the party and Soviet regime functionaries, and he was expelled from the Azerbaijan State Pedagogical Institute where he worked, and was out of sight for a long time. However, this attitude of Soviet officials towards him did not turn the poet from his path and profession, and he continued his activities and propaganda in the direction of Turkism and independence with great intensity
