Summary/Abstract: Balkans which was under the rule of Ottoman for a period of approximately five hundred years played an immense role in the Turkish history. After Ottoman rule, new nation-states were established in Balkans which also went under rule of different nationalities. Facing various pressures Turkish communities started trying to find the way out. After II. Great War, particularly Turks living the territory of the former Yugoslavia succeeded to publish and teach in Turkish based on the right given by the former Yugoslav Constitution. In this context, Varlık publications in Skopje and Tan publications in Pristina were founded. Several newspapers and magazines have been published, the books have been printed. Turkish Radio and Television channels were established. On one hand, all these activities provide a significant contribution to Turkish communities’ presence and on the other hand, help us to take traces of the past. Our aim with this study is to focus on narrative types (stories, tales, legends and epics) published in Turkish newspapers children's magazines published in Kosovo.
