DEDE KORKUT OĞUZNAMELERİNDE SAVAŞ STRATEJİLERİ
WAR STRATEGIES IN THE DEDE KORKUT OGHUZNAMES

Summary/Abstract: There are many reflections of the war on various genres and fields of language, culture, art and literature. The Dede Korkut Oguznames are among the most researched texts in the field of Turkology because of how rich in content they are. They also contain remarkable examples in terms of war elements and especially war strategies; alas, few have studied it. To fill that gap and better understand that topic, we shall examine war in the Dede Korkut Oguznames, and then analyse and classify examples of war strategies seen in Dede Korkut Oguznames under certain sub-themes – namely as blessings, curses and praises, sleep, awakening and awakening, captivity and military espionage, war order and hunting. In Dede Korkut narratives, it has been clarified how all kinds of thoughts, actions, discourses, events, facts and war and the war strategies developed for this are conveyed on an epic and aesthetic plane, along with the real war.
