Tulip has a unique place in the Turkish culture, art and literature, as well as in folk narratives and beliefs. For Turkic people living in harsh climatic conditions, tulip is a symbol of rebirth, awakening, life and fertility and a herald of spring after winter. Reverse tulip, due to its shape, represents sadness, pain and tears in folk narratives and beliefs. In Batken province of Kyrgyzstan and in many regions of Turkey, there are various legends about reverse tulips. Reverse tulip or Aygul flower, after which a mountain, rock and village in Batken are named, is one of the most important symbols of the province. Reverse tulip growing in Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey and having different names is a cultural and material value in Sason and Kozluk districts of Batman province. These endemic species, which are of the same family, are very similar to each other in terms of their living spaces and exterior appearance. In concern with these flowers, there are two different legends that had taken place around a rock called “Aygultash” in Batken and “Reverse Tulip” in Batman and show similarities in terms of plot, mentioned heroes and content. What are the possible reasons for the similarities and differences in these legends? What is the connection between the phenomenon of migration, culture and folk narratives? A comparative examination of the reverse tulip legend in Eastern Anatolia region where the Turks of Turkey had settled when they first came to Anatolia centuries ago and the legend in their fatherland will give us clues about common folklore, cultures, beliefs and values in the Turkic world.
