ABSTRACT
Following the decision of the National Assembly in 1918 in Cyprus, Turks begin to publish newspaper and magazines. The majority of the poems published in these newspaper and magazines were written by Turkish Cypriots.
Ankebût is a weekly newspaper. It started publishing on the 8th of September 1920 in Larnaka and continued it’s publication until the 17th of March 1923. In our study we have read the poems published in the Ankebût newspaper between 1920 to 1923 in Latin alphabet and grouped them accourding to themes.
Our research includes; preface, Cyprus press, and short summary on Ankebût, poems and a thematic classification, and interpretations of the poems.
With this we have focused on the effects of the Turkish Cypriot poetry. We also think that the poems that we have gathered together from the history of the Turkish Cypriot poems will help other researchers in their studies.
