Bâciyân-ı Rûm is an 13th century Anatolian mystic group made up of Turkoman immigrating women. Aşık Pahsa Zade is the first Otoman historian to mention this group with this name. However, the true nature of this organization ‘Bâciyân-ı Rûm’ has yet to be well understood, for other histroical sources do not directly mention such a mystic organization. Based on the present knowledge in hand, it can be sateted that the organization ‘Bâciyân-ı Rûm’ was established by suphist Turkoman women with the sipritual support of Hacı Bektaş Veli for the purpose of public service. It can, therefore, be said that these Turkoman female suphists helped, to a large extent, Anatolia to embrace become Muslims.
