Summary/Abstract: Mutual conversation and Minstrel tradition are common among Turkish communities. Mutual conversations between Turkish and Iranian Turks and the Minstrel tradition are scrutinized in this article. The article was started with an introduction to the Minstrel confrontations and studies of Minstrel confrontations. In the sections implemented for the Minstrel confrontations, the examples of call-and-response duets and squabbling of minstrels belonging to other peoples, who learned the tradition of minstrelsy with the influence of Turkish culture, with the peoples of Turkish descent living both in various regions of Turkey and in Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Ukraine, are given. There is also a variety of ways in which parties can excel at each other in a minstrel confrontation or call-and-response duet. Amicable conversation, having a good time, pleasing the audience are among them. Although making art with lyricism is not the main purpose, fine words and striking expressions, as well as analogy elements, show the mastery of the speaker.
