Abstract
Aytmatov, the word sage who was able to bring the spirit of his ancestors, people and land to his works in his most realistic form and reached from the steppes of Central Asia to the whole world, is a great artist who has taken his place in history with his literary heritage. So much so that his works have been translated into many languages and have been the subject of scientific studies in the literature of almost every language in which he has been translated. Therefore, the role of literaries/researchers and critics working on the recognition, understanding and adopting of Aytmatov, who prefers to use symbolic language from the first day he appeared in the literary world, is quite large. In this study, information will be given about the science of 'Aytmatov taanuu' (Aytmatovşinas) which is taught as a science court in Kyrgyzstan, the first studies in Kyrgyzstan, which form the foundations of this science court, will be evaluated together with their researchers and the day-to-day development of the Aytmatov phenomenon will be revealed until the 1980s.
