And that is why, the poets of the second half XIX – early XX century, who came to the literary sphere after Abbasgulu agha Bakikhanov, achieved great success in the field of science and literature, during the second half of the XIX century, and the beginning of the XX century. Azerbaijani literature has gone through many stages from time to time and has always developed in accordance with the requirements of the time, over the centuries. It is already known from history, that Turkic peoples were civilized not from Siberia and Tibet, but from the Caucasus Mountains, the Kur-Araz valleys and the Caspian plains. Thus, the whole world is already aware of this, and the origin of the Turkic peoples and the language they talk, is directly connected with the “Gek Turk”s. The great Azerbaijani thinker A.Bakikhanov, despite of strong pressure from the
Russians, thanks to his perseverance and determination, had been able to create the history of Azerbaijan from ancient times on the basis of irrefutable sources in his work “Gulustani-Iram”.
