Now we have signed an agreement with the â€œÃ–tÃ¼kenâ€ publishing house, which will publish Mammadamin Rasulzadehâ€™s all works written in Turkey, professor Ali Yavuz Akpinar, the chair of Turkish language of Aegean University told APA bureau in Turkey. He said he had the most of Mammadamin Rasulzadehâ€™s manuscripts: â€œThere are many pieces about Azerbaijan once written by Mammadamin Rasulzadeh for the Turkic Encyclopedia. It is still a question who wrote the pieces about Ganja and Khagani Shirvani for the Turkic Encyclopedia because these works are without inscriptions. However we have found in Rasulzadehâ€™s archive a list of orders made by Agah Sirri Levent, the editor-en-chief of Turkish Encyclopedia at that time. Rasulzadeh saved the list of his articles written for the Turkic Encyclopedia in his archive. The largest part of his works written for the Turkic Encyclopedia is â€œAzerbaijanâ€. Now I am collecting his works made for the encyclopedia. He wrote some articles for the Radio Liberty, I am researching now their broadcasting by this radio. We have some of his articles in Russian. I am trying to know were these articles published in the â€œPrometeyâ€ and other journals or not. In all cases we will include all these works to Rasulzadehâ€™s anthologyâ€. Ali Yavuz Akpinar said that the â€œMilli TesanÃ¼dâ€ published by the Azerbaijani Cultural Group in 1978 would also be included in the anthology: â€œWe have this bookâ€™s manuscript. Unfortunately there are a lot of editing faults in the works such as â€œEsrimizin Siyavushuâ€ published in Baku and Ankara. Rasulzadeh made some notes for the improving of his work after that â€œThe Republic of Azerbaijanâ€ was published.
Ajdar Kurtulanâ€™s son Ildeniz Kurtulan had these notes and he gave these notes to me. We will republish â€œAzerbaijani Republicâ€ with appendixes of Rasulzadeh,â€ he said. Professor said that he did not intend to add something to the book from Baku publications.
â€œI do not think to add some thing from Baku publications. Teacher Shirmammad did a lot-â€œhe added the articles which published in â€œIrane nouâ€ magazine to the book. I think that, Rasulzadehâ€™s heritage is investigated in Azerbaijan newly. His works are published at present. We have got some articles that Rasulzadeh wrote to â€œAzadligâ€ radio. There may be something in archives in Munich. Unfortunately, Rasulzadehâ€™s archive is separated. But we know Rasulzadehâ€™s handwriting in Arabic, Cyrillic and Latin alphabets and we will present the works to the audience perfectly,â€ he said. Ali Yavuz Akpinar stated that several measures will be taken on the archives of Ali bay Huseynzadeh .
â€œWe gained archives of Ali bay Huseynzadeh and we intended to prepare its electronic version. We will do our best to learn the heritage of Huseynzadeh in digital platform. His daughter and bride live in Istanbul .After 13 days that Azerbaijani Republic declared independence in May 28, 1918, Turkish Army surrounded Ganja. I have got manuscript of poem that Mahammad Hadi wrote to Turkish Army at that time. Manuscript of Aliabbas Muznibiâ€™s poem â€œGar chichayiâ€, Ahmad Javadâ€™s poem â€œChirpindi Gara deniz â€œ are in my personal archive. These are very valuable materials. There are a lot of photos belonging to that time. I will present Rasulzadehâ€™s works to state archive of Azerbaijan,â€ he said.
