Eine Geschichte über Auswanderung, Leidenschaft für Aserbaidschan, Philologie und Sehnsucht
Der international anerkannte Turkologe Ahmet Caferoğlu wurde im spätzaristischen Kaukasus geboren und absolvierte seine Ausbildung in Kyjiw, Baku, Breslau und Berlin. Er verwandelte die Universität Istanbul in ein wichtiges turkologisches Zentrum – nicht zuletzt durch seine eigenen Großprojekte wie die mehrbändige »Geschichte der türkischen Sprache«. Caferoğlu war der Begründer der türkischen Dialektforschung, ein leidenschaftlicher Verfechter der NATO-Integration der Türkei sowie ein vehementer Antikommunist. Hierzu dienten seine akademischen und intellektuellen Zeitschriftenprojekte, wie »Azerbaycan Yurt Bilgisi« und »Türk Amacı«, sowie seine zahlreichen Vorträge und Schriften. Die sprach- und literaturwissenschaftliche Forschung zu Aserbaidschan gehörte zu seinen wichtigen Forschungsfeldern.
The internationally renowned Turkologist Ahmet Caferoglu was born in the late Tsarist Caucasus and completed his education in Kyiv, Baku, Breslau, and Berlin. He transformed Istanbul University into an important center for Turkology – not least through his own major projects such as the multi-volume “History of the Turkish Language.” Caferoglu was the founder of dialect research in Turkey, a passionate advocate of Turkey’s integration into NATO, and a vehement anti-communist and critic of the Soviet Union. His academic and intellectual journal projects, such as “Azerbaycan Yurt Bilgisi” and “Türk Amacı,” as well as his numerous lectures and writings, served this purpose. Linguistic and literary research on Azerbaijan was one of his important fields of research.
