Özet

Ajam has borders that are not completely identified, Ajam is a geographical term used by the Ottomans to describe the land and communities ruled by the Persian Dynasty that had settled East of the Ottoman Empire. The Safavid Dynasty also held the prominent scientific and cultural centers of the time. Persian and Eastern Turkish poets in this territory, regardless of their ethnic identity, are called 'Ajam poets. In the early founding period of classical Turkish literature, the Ottoman Empire aimed to be a cultural center by bringing science and art masters from other regions had their own previous cultural centers. Starting in the 15th century when Istanbul became a popular cultural center, Ajampoets began immigrating there for various reasons such as education, travel, political asylum, and embassy work. These poets came from Ajam, tried to connect to the Sultan's social circles, were found in poetry societies and interacted with Rum (Anatolian) poets.Biographies have mentioned some Turkish to have been discontent with the overrated interest shown toward the Ajam poets, and their complaints resulted in a general belief in Ottoman literary circles and in the Palacabout Ajam poets being overly complimented. This article focuses on Ajam and the idea of Ajam poets and also evaluates the points ofview in Ottoman literary circles toward Ajam poets and whether the interest shown to these poets was realistic or not.
