    Basturma is Latin word with Indo-European origin PASTU is TO FEED or PASTURE. The Latin word was used in East Roman Empire - Byzantium as official language but Greek was lingua franca and Pastorami, Pasturma or East Armenian pronunciation Basturma came after. The meat preservation was very popular in Ancient times so Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians were doing Basturma much longer before Roman's concurred Minor Asia or turks appeared in the sight horizon 600 years ago.

      @angamanu162 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No its not! azerbadjan has no language its called turkish. Turm is in armenian and means to marinate. You just use armenian words and everything armenian and you believe in the lies donmeh aliev tells you. Read history! Armenian Kingdom has been existing since the times of Shumer and you can find it on wordls oldest Babylonian map. But you cant find azerbadjan because there is no such country it was made up by bolshevik joos 100 years ago. Everybody knows it except you people couse you keep listening to donmeh aliev and hate armenians for no reason!

      I guess in Azerbaijan you have also used word internet or video or TH-cam. 😉
      Basturma is Armenian version of Latin word PASTUS that means FOOD or pasture. In Minor Asia Armenians and Greeks used to live much before turkish nomads came from Central Asia even much Before Minore Asia become Easter Rome called now Byzantium.
      The official language there was Latin and lingua franca was Greek so that is the way how they used to call preserved and dried meat. Btw prepared and done by indegios people Greeks, Armenians and Assyrians. Have you heard about Pastorami?
      yes the same Latin word used. Just Armenians and Greeks spelled that Pasturma or Basturma.
      azerbaijani cusin and culture has nothing to do with Byzantium or Ottomans after. Because during Byzantium reign your ancestors from several Turkmen oghuz and Gypsy (Roma people) tribes were somethere in Afghanistan or even in Mongolian stepps. So when you mixed up in Afghanistani and today's Pakistani valleyes and come to Persia you settled in Persian Empire with different than Ottomans culture, language and cuisine.Sorry paravoz is Russian word but also very often used in your country in the meaning of any kind locomotives.

    • @AggieAze
      @AggieAze 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@gidemnas There are many similar sounding words in number of languages. In this case it means food, which can be confusing for you. However in Turkish/Azerbaijani bastirma directly means pressing / marinating. You decide which language is closer to the dish name...
      When you are commenting the etymology, it should be based on meaning and references, not similarly sounding words. There are dozens of words that sound similar and with the same logic we can say pastor, pasture and pasturma are the same :)
      P.S. One of the oldest turkic scripts, Diwan Lughat al-Turk (year 1072) which is btw, literally a language book, demonstrates bastirma as a Turkic dish. Without any meaning twists.

      @@AggieAze If you think people are stupid and believe in nonsenses you make mistake. Why do you think that PASTUS, PASTORAMI and PASTURMA (West Armenian) BASTURMA (East Armenian) are just words that are sounding the same as pastus by coincedence and nomadic tukic words are the right ones.? Did you ever think that turkish used words for pressing could be derived from the word of product Basturma? like word bricking from the word bricks?
      or googling from the Google?
      BTW in azerbaijani language to press in meaning of to sgueeze (meat) is sixmag (sighmag spelling) and that word had came to your language from Armenian Սեղմել (seghmel). Surprises?
      I can understand when turks are arguing.
      They were part of Ottoman Empire and inherited a lot from the Byzantium.
      But azerbaijanies?
      The mix of turkoman and Gypsy nomadic tribes that always lived under the rule of the Persian Empire has nothing to do with Ottomans or Byzantium culture and cuisine. Even the name of that young nationality is artificialy created name, "azerbaijanies" was name ordered to you by Josef Stalin in 1936 only.
      You are arguing about Latin word Pastus in meaning of the food origin, because Latin word is not right word for the food or the dish ? Is Latin good for medicine? Do you think all the food in the region should have only turkic origin and names? Look.
      today's azerbaijani language consisted from 60% of Persian and Arabic words and 20% of Russian loaned words.
      You do not have even own word for cuisine or kitchen. and almost all the names of veggies and dishes names in your language are Persian words.
      btw no Basturma in Persian cuisine or in Arabic cuisine.
      Till the end 1980s were no any other Basturma or Sujugh makers in Soviet Union exept of Basturma makers and factory in Soviet Armenia. None in Georgia, none in Azerbaijan. Just nobody else had it in their cuisine.
      Even the meaning of Basturma as marinaded meat for bbq were used only by Armenians.
      Of course Armenians shared their cuisine with other people from Soviet republics they used to live and with their neighborhood
      Why Kazakghs or Uzbeks or Kirgiz or Uygur people have not any meat preservation or named dish called Basturma. They are your turkic blood, brothers and your race people .
      Even Mongols do not have that kind of " pressed meet". Original Turkic people have their own Qazi karta boiled sausages from horse meat and bones. That is real nomadic food. In their cuisine you do not see anything disputed because the food they make is simple and easy cooked with no many ingridients. Nothing "cooked under the horse saddle"
      No French invented Tartar, No Greek Bakhlava, No Armenian Tolma (Dolmates) No Armenian Sausages ( word Sujugh btw derived from Latin Salsicus and French saucisse ),, No Armenian Basturma, No Armenian Dzogh Khorovatz ( Karsi Khorovatz, Shawurma or Dzogh Kebab), No Persian Kebob, No Lebanese Lah ben majoo ( Lahmajou) .
      No dishes with walnuts or with grape leaf.
      Just for example.
      Many azerbaijanies used to cook and eat Russian /Ukrainian Borsch. Your logic :this should be 100% azerbaijani dish just because you have word borchaly the turkic word the language you used to speak.
      in Fact Russian/Ukrainian word Borsch is not turkic word and not even for Russian dish.
      The Bosch was Ancient Roman dish named by Russians or Ukrainians to their own way.. That "Borcsh" Used to be cooked and eaten by people much before Russians or Ukrainians even existed.
      For summarization.
      The complex dishes were part of cuisine of more developed and older, ancient civilizations, like Egyptians, Summerians Assyrians, Greeks, Armenians, Persians, Arabs, Phoenicians and Romans Because of the ingredients availability, complexity of technology and high cost of spices. All of that were not available for nomadic tribes in the steppes. This is not racism. Racism is to blame Armenians the Great cooks and inventors in food or dishes stealing. In each and under every Armenian videos you guys are leaving shitty comments and ninsence blamings. You just hate Armenians!
