@article{2008,title={Holy Kyrgzs’s Calpack},abstractNode={Calpack, in today’s Kyrgyzstan, is not only defined as a head craft wore in towns which is remembered barely during national and religious bairams but also it emerged as a concrete sample of Kyrgyz national philosophy, which has been kept alive from mythological era to epic era and from epic era to present day by the colors it involved and the motifs it carried. Irregardless of the social statues, calpacks can be observed on nearly all Kyrgyz men’s heads and even this particular feature of calpack makes it an important element to analyze not only for Kyrgyz culture but also for the common Turkish culture. Our aim is to determine the various values of calpack which have been survived from past to present.},author={Metin ARIKAN-İsmail Turan KALLİMCİ},year={2008},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
