SHAHSEY VAHSEY RITUALS IN TBILISI: IN THE 19TH CENTURY AND BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: For centuries, Azerbaijani Turks or Karapapaks have been densely settled in the city of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, and the surrounding regions of Borchali and Karayazi. These Turks, whose number has reached 500 thousand today, continue their existence in the geography of Georgia and continue their religious-cultural traditions. In particular, they observe the legal rules of the country, maintain their religious customs and perform their religious practices. With this fact in mind, the purpose of this article is to illuminate the Muharram Shahsey Vahsey mourning ceremonies that have been performed by Turks in Georgia for centuries. It focuses on condolence, ashure rituals and ceremonies, which have an important place in the religious folk tradition of Muslim Turks. The subject is limited to the city of Tbilisi and the second half of the 19th to early 20th centuries. As primary sources, the relevant articles in the 19th century Tbilisi's Russian and Georgian newspapers and the memories of early 20th century artists are handled.
