Özet:

Afghanistan has been for many centuries of Turkish domination. Even so, the north of the country is referred to as Southern Turkestan, Turkestan-i Sagir, Band-i Turkestan, Afghan Turkestan. Ethnic Turks in this country are mainly composed of Uzbek and Turkmen. This country has been ruled by Turkic domination for many centuries. The great poets of the Eastern Turkic as as ?Ali Shir Nava?i and Husayn-i Bayqara have grown in this country. The Turks did not carry out a destructive policy against other languages in Afghanistan during their sovereignty. Unfortunately the new rulers did not show the same tolerance to the Turks when they lost their power. After a long struggle, the cultural rights of the Turks in this country have been improved in the near future; but still it could not be achieved to the desired extent. As well known, the country was invaded by the Soviet in 1979. In addition, the country has been facing the acts of terrorist groups like the Taliban for years. Kubra Kayvan was a member of the Uzbeks of Afghanistan and lived between 1960 and 1995. Firstly the poet published her poems in different journals and newspapers, both with his native Uzbek Turkic and with Deri Persian, and finally some of them were published in 2008 in the poetry book Altın Tac. In the poems of Kubra Kayvan, we can find the spirit of a mother, sister and lover as well as all the sadness and anxiety experienced by the country.
