Özet:

: In this study, the identity and works of Dündar Alp, who is one of the figures about to be forgotten of recent Turkish culture and literature, are studied. We come across the name of Dündar Alp for the first time as the founder, poet and writer of the pro-Turkish magazines of Büyük Duygu and Ekinci during the time of Constitutional Period II. We also know that he wrote a historical novel named Şark’ın En Büyük Hükümdarı Timurlenk (Timurlenk, the Greatest Ruler of the Orient) on those days. Dündar Alp was a sufferer in Sheikh Said Rebellion (1924-1925), which broke out immediately after the announcement of Republic (1923). That is to say, we find the dramatic story of Teacher Mehmet Zeki Dündar Alp, who was martyred during this rebellion and are they the same person, or are they different people? This issue needs to be clarified. What is more, is Dundar Alp a real name or is it a nickname? In this regard, we have not been able to reach any clear evidence. We have tried to get some biographical information from the writings available and the writings about him. What’s more some false information has been found out that the poems published by the name of Dündar Alp are actually written by Ziya Gökalp.We have also transliterated some texts from Arabic letters to the new Turkish letters and added them to the end of this work as we believe that it would be useful for revealing the identity of the poet.
