Özet:

A notebook held in Turkish Turkish with Arabic letters by Efendizde Mehmet Sherif Bilgehan (Shamahı 1887-Istanbul 1954) for the first time is published. As a Turkish and educator, Sherif Bilgehan, born in Shamahı, arrived in 1910 in Istanbul, met with Turkish surroundings in Istanbul. After entering the Alliance and the Terakki Frontier, the founder of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mehmet Emin, was closely connected with the other Azerbaijani Turkish people, primarily in the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He continued his relationship with the party until his death. As it is clear from his personal notes, Mr. Mehmet Sherif was sent to Lozan for the purpose of his education by the Ottoman government, and in 1917, after returning to Turkey, he served as administrator in the Teacher Schools in Edirne and İzmir. After the demolition of the Republic of Azerbaijan by the Bolsheviks in 1920, it was for a while ignored in Turkey because the Ankara government criticized its policies on the Caucasus with its writings. In addition to the information he gives about the history of Azerbaijan, his personal statements about the personnel founding the 1918 Azerbaijan Republic are valuable because he contains information and opinions that are not in other sources. It is clear from his writings that he is a courageous, knowledgeable, determined Turkish and that he has the view that a secular Azerbaijani state based on the Turkish nationalism supported by Turkey in Azerbaijan should be established with the support of Turkey. He remains an unknown person in both Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan today. This article provides new information on his biography and political opinions.
