KARABAKH AGRICULTURE CREATED BY THE PEOPLE’S WRITER ALI VALIYEV

The article is dedicated to an important issue – Karabakh agriculture, which is included in the work of the people’s writer Ali Valiyev. Here, attention is paid to all the processes and points from preparing the soil for planting to sowing, watering, peeling or harvesting of various plants. Based on the ethnographic materials collected by A.Valiyev’s work, it consists in uncovering information about the rich experience and empirical knowledge of the people of Karabakh in the field of agriculture, the various products they grow, farm tools, and also the widespread beliefs, and introducing the scientific community to them. Materials of historical-ethnographic literature, numerous artistic works of A.Valiyev, as well as the method of comparative analysis were used in the writing of the research work. The research suggests that the people of Karabakh have a rich agricultural culture and that they have gained enough experience in this field. The comparative analysis of the materials in our hands shows that the rules, customs, and customs that A.Valiyev collected from the population of Karabakh and included in his work, in general, most of the agricultural work performed were the same as in other regions of Azerbaijan. At the same time, the abundance of ethnographic materials in his artistic work characterizes A.Valiyev as an ethnographer who knows enough about the Karabakh region.
