was extremely sensitive about the problems of society; he wrote mostly on
religion and love and also about politics and his religious poems were welcomed
respectfully in Islamic ceremonies. The effect of another Turkmen Poet Mehmet
Sadık’s can be seen on his poems and his natural imitations in love poems, his way
of expressing his ideas clearly reminds us Karacaoğlan. He was telling that he wrote his poems for
public and with nationalist feelings. Above his poet identity, Mehmet Zeki Hattat was
an educator. He had an important role on Turkmen youth’s education with certain
aims.
