"Archaeological heritage of Turkey has been suffering for ages from severe destruction through the activities of local antiquities looters. The main reasons for this escalating phenomenon among the Turkish population include poverty, enhanced global demand for looted archaeological material in the worldwide market, gaps in laws, folklore, and the addiction to adrenalin experienced by looters. To comprehend the ongoing archaeological destruction caused by looters in Turkey, we need to be willing to investigate their folklore formed in the framework of illicit looting. Even though Turkish law strictly states looting as a crime, Anatolian-Turkish folklore, including oral tradition, does not condemn looters even as deviants. Hence, folklore must be listed as one of the significant excuses why Anatolian archaeological heritage keeps being looted. In recent decades, the destruction of archaeological sites of Anatolia and the loss of cultural heritage have entered a dangerous phase due to local looters having access to technological devices, software, and international connections, as well as folkloric spiritual, ritualistic guidance. My research aims to understand how and under which circumstances looters become looters in the first place. Keywords: Turkey, cultural heritage, folklore, antiquities looters, personal experience narratives. "

"There are now many works on this subject in academic journals around the world. The reason is very simple: there are enough intelligent people who bow and kneel before the depth, wisdom, power, intelligence and reason of the untold wealth of the peopleʼs history called folklore. This study examines several new models of proverbs and their structural-semantic analysis, not found either in reality or in academic folklore archives. It is noted that these models and terms are used in the literature for the first time by the author of these lines. These are the following: 1) dildonmez (unrelenting) proverbs – here the consonants “l” and “r” are not used, causing the tongue to turn in the mouth; in other words, the language in such works should remain in a stable state and not change its state during the performance; 2) evvel-akhir (beginning-end) proverbs – (literally “beginning-end”, i.e. the same sound at the beginning and at the end of the line); 3) chokhyarpag (multi-leaved) proverbs – literally “multi-leaf”; where the text is built on cross rhymes and named according to the number of cross lines: ikiyarpag/goshayarpag (two-leaved/double leaved), uchyarpag (three-leaved), dordyarpag (four-leaved), beshyarpag (five-leaved), etc. The results of the study show that the internal semantics of proverbs hides an inexhaustible stylistic richness, as well as reveal the possibility of creating images of languages. It is noted that, from the point of view of the modern system of thinking, the new models of approach of Azerbaijani, Turkish and English proverbs “dildonmez”, “evvel-akhir” and “chokhyarpag” require their systematic study, as well as their transmission to the younger generations. Because today the world needs more intellectual weapons, and this is the need of the hour. Keywords: Azerbaijani folklore, Turkish folklore, English folklore, “dildonmez” proverbs, “evvel-akhir” proverbs, “chokhyarpag” proverbs, structural-semantic analysis."

The epic poem The Song of Roland has had an immense influence on European literature over the centuries, including on the ancient legendary Albanian songs, The Songs of the Frontier Warriors. The relation between these two epics has only recently been studied, and hence, it represents an insufficiently explored field. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to enhance the research with new findings. Using a comparative method, in this study, we depicted the impact of The Song of Roland on The Songs of the Frontier Warriors using different layers. These included the abilities of the main hero, the fighting, the cult of the horse, the cult of the weapon, the threat that comes from the sea, the Moor who is the same as the Saracens of The Song of Roland, the figure of the sun, the dream, the lament, and the introduction of The Songs of the Frontier Warriors. By analyzing the influence of The Song of Roland on The Songs of the Frontier Warriors, the understanding of inter-European interactions that took place in the past, and subsequently the reciprocal relations between cultures, is improved. Keywords: The Song of Roland, The Songs of the Frontier Warriors, hero, horse, sword, sun.
