Yemen Türküsü

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Lament of Yemen)

Yemen Türküsü is a Turkish folk song (türkü means Turkish folk song) about Turkish soldiers who were sent to Yemen in World War I to fight a battle against Rebel Arabs for the Ottoman Empire. They went to Yemen from Mamuret-ul-Aziz (El-aziz), a city in the east of Turkey. They all died in Yemen. So after that tragedy, the Yemen song was written by the local people of Mamuret-ul-Aziz (El-aziz) for the memories of soldiers' death in Yemen.[1]
