The scientist is actively working on studying of an ancient and medieval literature for the history of Kazakh literature. Based on historical-typological comparison, it shows the humanistic and artistic aspects of the consonance of Turkic with Kazakh literature.
As a brilliant expert of literary monuments of ancient and medieval Turkic writing, constituting the treasury of Kazakh literature and culture in general, Professor Orhan Soylemez advises doctoral students and undergraduates to write doctoral and master’s theses using this theme. His consultations for students of the specialties “Russian language and literature” and “Russian language and literature in schools with non-Russian language of studying” on writing diploma projects were very valuable. Turkology as the most important branch of the humanities today is reaching a new stage in its development. In addition, the arrival of a foreign scientist plays an important role in understanding the spiritual wealth. For all of us, the scientific activity and creative way of the scientist Orhan Soylemez is an example of true patriotism, friendship and fraternity, unlimited devotion to science and immense hard work, modesty. That is what can be considered a kind of bright role model, because a true scientist inevitably goes beyond the national and political framework, and his work ultimately belongs to all humanity, across all conventional boundaries.
