Summary/Abstract: After the conquest of Anatolia by the Turks, a so-called Armenian community emerged in the north of the Black Sea. These Armenians adopted language of the Kipchaks Turks, then dominant in the region, and part of those Turks converted to the Gregorian sect, thus giving birth to a Turkish-speaking Armenian people. This community created a considerable literature in Turkish. This article examines them and gives texts of some important works.
