HELLO TO JURUK TURKOMANS

(from the July 1996 issue of Yörtürk Magazin)

  We falled in love with state horsetail since our father Mete Kaðan. To some state seal, some time Kayý... That was us who planted the sapling of great Chenar in the Willow! We conformed to the firman yesterday and migrated from Konya, Isparta, Bursa, Çukurova to Rumelia... “We cheered evlad-ý fatihan lands up.” We carried the thyme-smelling and sweet smelling air of Taurus Mountains; to Deliorman, to Üsküp, to the all Balkans...

  We are the advance courier; guaranty of Turk... And one day came, enemy foot entered to Anatolia in which we were walking around freely. All of us had been “Juruk Ali”, we made the world narrow to enemy under the command of Atatürk with Kuvay-ý Milliye. Sometimes, we took down our tents and had been townsman. But don’t forget our thyme-smelling, partridge-singing bows. Today, there is the beauty of that thyme-smelling mountain pasture wind in the heart of each Juruk Turcoman child who is the civil servant at the table, at the counter in the superior factory. I said we took down our tents... Yes, we moved in to villages. Most of those villages are living at the top of poverty today... My Juruk Turcoman who found state is being news in the televisions today with his powerty and wretchedness in the Taurus Mountains. And we said that’s enough now... We came on the scene with a waqf which will work with the pride and conscious of being Turk for the unity and peace of Juruk Turcoman! We took aim to embrace everybody but not getting mixed up in the politics with this waqf which was found by a handful of  advance courier. Our call is to mountain pasture-smelling areas. Our call is to unity... Neither madhab dispute nor political party seperation... Nothing seperate us! Yesterday, it is how that our fathers began to act with a model helping one another between mountain pasture time families, let’s we agree on the unity with the same soul, too today. Please, support our waqf. With the help of god, Yörtürk magazin which is the broadcast publication of our waqf until today, was announcing the studies of our waqf to you and achieving communication between our members by reaching you once in two months. Thank’s to the god that we have a web page named www.yorturkvakfi.com now, we can communicate all over the world 24 hours with this web page. Time can perceive that our this movement is a mountain pasture migration. Joining in with the rest is our binding duty!

10- A message to the YÖRTÜRK WAQF. (from the Yörtürk Magazine 1996 issue)

Our journal, yes I say journal because it seems to be our voice. From now on, I see that our people’s assuring unity also appeared. In my opinion, the most excited part of our jornal was the poem of Sümer Þenol. I remembered our migration in our Juruk days. I see my life in my mind. And it caused to an upset and sadness in my heart. Because I could not see now the brotherness, fruitfulness and abundance that there were in those times.

Our black tent was small but our heart and hope were big...

When we passed to settled life, our liberty had bridled.

We want that you organize meetings in which thousands of people who seperated from each other and  can’t see each other can meet. I hope God increase your effort. “Mustafa ÇATAL – Çayýrbaþý Köyü -  Yunak/KONYA

11- WE ARE UNITED AND TOGETHER... (from the issue of Yörtürk Magazine December 1996)

We are all united and together... My this expression is to all people who are under the comprehension of being Turk. Yes we expressed since months at this corner: This state, this flag, this country is ours. And I want to add right now: It is not sufficient to only say it. If we don’t be firmly clasped together, neither the state lives nor the country... We shouldn’t fall in to the same error with Ottoman. We see that after the conquest of Byzantium, within the time, althoght its aim was not such, a comprehension which looks on to Turks and Turkish language with scorn became quiet and retiring popular in the history... Turkey Republic which we found by undergoing a severe trial is a culture state. That culture is the culture of Turk. And Juruks are the pure clear source of Turkish culture. We should tell this to the all universe...

 12- JURUK HEADS-(from the issue of Yörtürk Magazine December 1966)

"Yörü" dedi ak sakallý Bey dedem,            

Yörü oðul sen yörü ki bu memleket þenlensin.   

Sen durdukça inan rahat edemem,                

Yörü oðul mezarýmda kemiklerim dinlensin.

 Yörü oðul þimdi birlik zamaný,

Toplansýn yörüklerin tamamý,

Yaptýklarýn Bey dedene reva mý?

Yörü oðul mezarýmda kemiklerim dinl

 Yörü oðul Toroslar'dan oðlak güden kýz gelsin.

Aðam, dayým, ecem, cicem tez gelsin.

Bu ülkeye yeni baþtan hýz gelsin.

Yörü oðul mezarýmda kemiklerim dinlensin.

Nedir benim asýlardýr durgunluktan çektiðim

Bu ürün mü Altay'larda Toroslar'a ektiðim,

Dün gibiydi bu topraða bu tohumu diktiðim,

Yörü oðul mezarýmda kemiklerim dinlensin.

Yörü oðul, yörümezsen bu memleket þenlenmez,

Senin sözün hiçbir zaman dinlenmez,

Asýrlardýr çile çeken bu insanlar ünlenmez,

Yörü oðul, mezarýmda kemiklerim dinlensin.

Yörük su baþýna kurar obayý                                Ýçine girince erdim sýrrýna

Herkes bu sevgiden almalý payý                  Baktým öðüt verir dede toruna

Kim sevmez ki soðuk sulu yaylayý              Hepsi umut ile bakar yarýna

Þehirlinin gözü vardý yaylada                 Geleceðe mazý vardý yaylada.

BÝZ TÜRKMEN YÖRÜKLERÝZ

Yayla yayla gezeriz.                           Dað taþ demez gezeriz.

Soðuk sular içeriz,                  Haram lokma yemeyiz,

Koyun kuzu besleriz.                          Dürüstlüðü severiz.

Biz Türkmen Yörükleriz.                       Biz Türkmen yörükleriz.

Kara çadýrdýr evimiz,                Abdulhamit KÜÇÜKÖZDEMÝR

Ovalardýr köyümüz,

Türkiye' mi severiz,

Biz Türkmen Yörükleriz.
