Summary/Abstract: It is known that society has an important role in the formation of literary works. While some works of literature are created with the impact of society, a considerable number of works affect society and direct social events. Therefore, it can be said that society and literature interact with each other. When the works of Özker Yaşın, one of the important names of the Turkish Cypriot literature, are analyzed, the troubles and pains that Island Turks suffered especially in the years of national liberation struggles can be clearly seen. Özker Yaşın has presented a panorama of the national liberation struggle by the Turkish Cypriot with his many works of various types that he wrote at that time. While revealing the suffering experienced in several works such as he also reflected the historical realities to the literary field. In this study, we determined the social events reflected in Özker Yasın's novel "We tied a Road from Kyrenia", which was published in Istanbul in 1976, and evaluated the artist's perspective on these events. As a result of the examination, it was seen that the artist adhered to the realities experienced in those years and successfully applied the critical history understanding.
