EDUCATIONAL SUBJECTS IN THE POEM “PHOENIX” BY THE AZERBAIJANI FOLK POET NARIMAN HASANZADEH

Abstract

The works of the People's Poet of Azerbaijan Neriman Hasanzadeh are of great importance in the upbringing of the young generation in the spirit of patriotism.  In this regard, the poem “Phoenix”, dedicated to our historical past, deserves to be remembered as a special.  Although the events in the work cover the 1820s, they are still echoed today.  The Russian Empire attacked Azerbaijan with a large army in order to conquer the Caucasus and enslave its inhabitants. He overthrew the existing Azerbaijani khanates and annexed their lands.  Later he won the war with Iran and usurped the lands inhabited by Azerbaijanis.  However, the Azerbaijani people were not defeated and the struggle for freedom continues, albeit locally.  Along with men, girls and women also participate in these wars.  In the background of all these heated massacres, the image of a mother traditionally called the “Phoenix” stands out.  With the image of a simple artist, carpet weaver, N. Hasanzadeh created a generalized image of Azerbaijani mothers who put national pride and homeland honor above all else.

While reading the poem “Phoenix”, the reader is as if experiencing the events of a difficult period, his heart is filled with love for the country, he is ready to sacrifice his life for the country.  Of course, the effect of such work is sufficient in our victory in the Second Karabakh War.
