Anatolian and Turkish Cypriot folk tales are oral narratives that are fed by similar sources and contain common content, structure, form, and function features. While the Turkish Cypriots migrated from Anatolia to the island, they brought together the cultures, social insights, beliefs, and narratives of the regions they came from and blended them with the island culture and transferred them to future generations. Depending on the island geography, the Turkish Cypriot people melted various place names, geographical shapes, and social conditions within the folk tales over the years and added many different elements from Anatolia to the fairy tales. For example, the priest type and various Greek characters take part in fairy tales as well as different elements of Christian culture are mentioned in the narrations. While evaluating the cultural elements in Anatolian and Turkish Cypriot tales, culinary culture, handicrafts, crafts, beliefs, religion, social life, architecture, games, weddings, dowry, feast-banquet, fairy-tale motifs, folk types etc. were taken into consideration as well as how these cultural elements take place in fairy tales. Many similar cultural elements have been identified between Anatolian and Turkish folk tales. Qualitative research was applied as a research method and document analysis was used to collect data.

Turks have been an important part of the world culture for centuries and have made important contributions to it. This rich culture of the Turks is a culture formed by the accumulation for centuries. Turkish folk literature is also a part of this culture, and it is just like a treasure thanks to its various genres. Literary products emerging within a society not only shed light on the aesthetic understanding of the relevant period, but also perform an important function in the formation of cultural identities, and transfer these identities to the future generations. In this context, tales play a very important role in the literary products. Today, when we look at the different regions of the Turkish world, we can say that even though the distance between them is far in terms of the physical sense, but many things about their cultures are in common. Similar situation also grabs attention in the tales. Our main purpose in our work is to identify the common motifs of Cypriot and Uighur Turkish that are located at two far points of the Turkish world and fed and shaped by the sources of deep Turkish culture, and then examine these motifs. This study mainly aims to determine and examine the common motifs of these two Turkish land located at two distant points of the Turkish world. For this purpose, we have tried to identify some common motifs in both Cypriot Turkish folk tales and Uyghur Turkish folk tales, then examine their meanings and origins. It is possible to list some common motifs that we have found in the Cypriot Turkish folk tales and Uyghur Turkish folk tales as follows: Khidr, dream, childlessness, white-bearded old man, iron, transfiguration etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In such literature works as sagas, novels, stories and dramas which are based on events, there is a character called "protagonist" who performs the event and is in the central position according to the story line of the work. He/she is in the centre of the work. The protagonist of the Hasan Bulliler novel and Saga is Hasan Bulli. In his lifetime, Hasan Bulli is a saga hero who was seen as a hero by both the Turks and the Greeks who stood against the oppressor governments in the country. In Hasan Bulliler Saga and the novel which was written based on the saga, the story of three brothers and their advocates who took the mountains and lived there for years after being convicted with unjust accusations in the early years of British administration in Cyprus is told. In the novel Hasan Bulliler, Nazemin Gelen wrote about Hasan Bulliler and his family departing from historical facts. In our article, starting from Hasan Bulli brothers, we display the historical events that Cypriot Turks experienced in these years and the socio-cultural life of the era. Nevertheless, based on our cultural values that we brought today from those years, we saw that the novel played an essential role in cultural communication between generations.
