Özet:

In the first years of Soviet Turkmenistan, many studies were carried out by famous writers on Stavropol Turkmen. Critical articles were also written on the studies carried out in this period. One of the Turkmen scholars who penned these critical writings is Abdulhekim Gulmuhammedov (1885-1931). Gulmuhammedov in the newspaper “Turkmenistan” in 1930, Gurban Kuliyev`s article on Stavropol Turkmen in the same newspaper in 1929, titled “İstavropol Türkmenleri Hakında” (About the Turkmen of Stravropol), “Yol. Gulıyıfın, İstavropol Türkmenleri Atlı Makalası Hakında” (About Mr. Kuliyev’s article titled stavropol Turkmens). Kuliyev’s article “İstavropol Türkmenleri Hakında” (About the Turkmen of Stavropol) is a current article that contains important information about the Turkmen of Stavropol and consists of five parts. Gulmuhammedov based the first two chapters of Kuliyev’s article “İstavropol Türkmenleri Hakında” (About the Turkmen of Stavropol) and wrote his criticism article on it. Gulmuhammedov himself states in his article that the purpose of criticizing Kuliyev’s article is scientific. The author’s aim is to write the Turkmen history correctly. This article of Gulmuhammedov is a valuable historical text in terms of Turkmen history and historiography, as well as a manifestation of the Turkmen intellectual history of the period.
