Kazakhstan, which holds a significant place in the Turkic world, has produced many important thinkers in the fields of literature and culture. One of these figures is Jambıl Jabaev. The poet, who lived a long life, witnessed both the Tsarist and Soviet eras and carried out his literary activities across these two periods. Jambıl’s literary works were not limited to Kazakhstan alone but found recognition throughout the entire Soviet Union. His works have been translated into various languages. Jambıl Jabaev’s life and literary contributions also resonated widely in Azerbaijan. His works and news about him were frequently featured in the press of the time. The Edebiyyat newspaper, which began publication in 1934, often included articles about Jambıl. These articles covered news about the poet, the awards he received, and interviews with him. Additionally, his poems were translated into Azerbaijani Turkish and published in the newspaper. Prominent figures of Azerbaijani literature such as Samad Vurgun, Abdullah Faruk, Suleyman Rahimov, Mammad Rahim, Alakbar Ziyatay, and Rezzakzade Aliaba provided readers with insights into Jambıl’s life and literary works. His poems were translated into Azerbaijani Turkish, and poems dedicated to him were also written. This study will focus on the works of the Kazakh poet Jambıl that were published in the Edebiyyat newspaper in Azerbaijan and the news articles about him featured in the publication.
