Yunus Emre is one of the pioneers of poets and mystics who grew up in Anatolia. Yunus Emre, who has an exceptional place in our civilization history with his words and ideas, was born in Güzelyurt - Sivrihisar Village within the borders of Aksaray in 1240, continued his life in Ortaköy - Sarıkaraman Village, and walked to Hakka where his tomb is located on Visit Tepe. The tomb of his teacher, Tapduk Emre, is also in the same region, in Tapduk Village. The narrations in the Hacı Bektaş Velayetname, which is one of the important records about Yunus Emre, also coincide with the characteristics of this region.

Yunus Emre was brought up with the tradition of Islamic mysticism and reached the position of the star of the world of mysticism. In his journey of love on the path of mysticism, he always sought to seek God, to be a worthy servant of Him, and at the end of this journey he found what he was looking for, and became a voice that transcended the ages without being condemned to time and space. The universal messages of Yunus Emre, whose tomb is in Aksaray, have reached the whole world, and he has become the common name of the language of love.
