GENRE “BAYATI” AS AN ARTISTIC EXPRESSION OF SITUATION REALITY IN KARABAGH FOLKLORE

Abstract

In this study the genre “bayati” was considered in accordance with the current situation. Thus, “bayati” being the most active and compact genre of our folklore, reflects all levels of relations, national-cultural values, existing reality. The heavy bloody clashes and wars in Karabakh, of course, are most often initiated in genre “bayati” in folk language. As a result of the genocidal policy against Azerbaijan, the occupation of the Karabakh territory for 30 years, regular attacks on other territories almost every day despite the ceasefire and the silence of the world community, the state of Azerbaijan finally created its own military and political power and won this war and completely cleared Karabakh from occupation and ensured the territorial integrity of the Azerbaijan State. It is natural that the impression of such fast and proud events increased the emotions of the people. In this regard, many folk songs and melodies in the folk language, folklore examples, etc. began to be created. In this study, we have tried to present the quatrains in the folk language situationally in two directions. The samples created during and after the I Karabakh and II Karabakh wars have been studied from a specific point of view. The study of the characteristics of folklore samples created during the occupation and liberation of the Karabakh region on the example of the genre bayati was of particular importance, the foundation on which the moral values of our national culture were examined and brought to attention in this study. It is natural that it was caused by a real situation and played an important role in the creation of these patterns. The research work is rich in innovations and original, intended for the scientific and mass public.
