Abstract
Most of the Turkmen living in Central Asia migrated to Anatolia, which they saw as a safe haven, after the Mongol invasion. In this period, there were significant religious and cultural differences between the Muslim Turks living in Anatolia and the Turkmens coming from Central Asia. While the settled Muslim Turks had a more traditional structure, the Turkmens from Central Asia lived with a semi-nomadic mentality under the influence of Shamanism. When the demographic and political change was accompanied by economic troubles, the atmosphere of peace deteriorated and a possible conflict became inevitable. The Anatolian Seljuk State, which mobilized all its resources, suppressed the rebellion of the Turkmen groups gathered around Baba İlyas and Baba İshak with difficulty. Having exhausted all its power, the authority never regained its former form. The resulting vacuum of authority paved the way for an uneasy and insecure environment. Losing its old charm, Anatolia hosted societies that competed with each other in the next period. Yunus Emre, who lived in the 13th and 14th centuries, invited all the people to love and tolerance in the face of this instability. This movement, which turned into a school in a short time, completely changed the texture of Anatolia and brought Yunus Emre to the center of hearts. Based on all this information, the aim of the study is; Trying to reinterpret Yunus Emre's understanding of love and tolerance through postage stamps. In this study, Yunus Emre's philosophy of life; human factor, emphasis on Turkish language, world life, abandonment, beauty of heart, love and tolerance. A total of 10 images were used in the study. 9 of these images consist of stamps and 1 of them consists of a special day envelope. It is thought that the study will be a source for scientific researches.
