   An ashik (Azerbaijani: aşıq, عاشؽق; Turkish: âşık; Persian: عاشیق—all from Arabic: عاشِق) or ashugh (Armenian: աշուղ; Georgian: აშუღი): 1365  is traditionally a singer-poet and bard who accompanies his song—be it a dastan (traditional epic story, also known as hikaye) or a shorter original composition—with a long-necked lute (usually a bağlama or saz): 225  in Turkic (primarily Turkish and Azerbaijani cultures, including Iranian Azerbaijanis) and non-Turkic cultures of South Caucasus (primarily Armenian and Georgian).: 15–36 : 47  In Azerbaijan, the modern ashik is a professional musician who usually serves an apprenticeship, masters playing the bağlama, and builds up a varied but individual repertoire of Turkic folk songs.The word ashiq (Arabic: عاشق, meaning "in love" or "lovelorn") is the nominative form of a noun derived from the word ishq (Arabic: عشق, "love"), which in turn may be related to the Avestan iš- ("to wish, desire, seek"). The term is synonymous with ozan in Turkish and Azerbaijani, which it superseded during the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries.: 368  Other alternatives include saz şair (meaning "saz poet") and halk şair ("folk poet"). In Armenian, the term gusan, which referred to creative and performing artists in public theaters of Parthia and ancient and medieval Armenia, is often used as a synonym.: 20 : 851–852

1. Ashik

   An Ashik is a mystic troubadour or travelling bard, in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, and Iran、 who sings and plays the saz, a form of lute. Ashiks' songs are semi-improvised around common bases. The word Ashik derives from the Arabic word Asheq, and means the "one who is in love." The Turkish term that Ashik superseded was ozan. In the early armies of the Turks, as far back as that of Attila, the ruler was invariably accompanied by an ozan. The heroic poems, which they recited to the accompaniment of the kopuz, flattered the sensibilities of an entire people. In September 2009, Azerbaijan’s ashik art was included into UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
