[javijavi16]

Im from Spain,without any origin of Amernia,Azeri,Turkey....What i dont understand is all this discussions about the origin of music.I live near Portugal,and my culture have influence of this country,and in Portugal of Spain too.In the past we had wars against Portugal,but now we see the future,and never the past.Know the history is perfect,for try that wars,problems...dont repeat again.Is perfect that all humanity respet the cultures of others,and dont use religion,nations..for have wars.Peace

@javijavi16

Somehow a lot of people didn't understand this.

[xoxowicked]

@javijavi16 The problem is that turks and azers are not like spaniards and portuguese .. they are subhuman baboons .. not all though, but most of them.

I love all of the Caucasus and I wish they could all just get along and forget the past.

@mogim98 Capslock only makes you look like an idiot.

This music is great by the way. What are the instruments used?

[BlackMetalerWolf]

You idiots in the comments give us bad names. I'm 16 years old and Armenian, when I meet someone from a country near Armenia, even Turkey, I would like to become friend them, but you fricken ignorant idiots make it ackward and difficult because you keep hating on each other. Grow up for fucks sake lol

[Anoush23]

Why will there never be ONE ARMENIAN CLIP without 100s of Turkish, Kurdish, Azeri, Armenian and Greek idiots people fighting against each other? This is MUSIC, music is HOLY!!!

[BodModxCORE]

@Anoush23 I'm glad someone put it so well!

[mogim98]

YOU AZERI PEOPLE ARE POORE PEOPLE, EH?ALWAYS IN YOUR COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE YOU MUST REMIND OF TURKISH PEOPLE, WHY?YOU HAVE AN OWN COUNTRY, OR YOU ARE AFRAID TO FIGHT FACE TO FACE- YOU ARE HALF MAN OR WHAT?YOU HAVE COMPLEX BECAUSE YOU ARE THE REST FROM TURKISH PEOPLE!

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@mogim98

Please, I don't like this kind of foolish comments. RoshenRRujj vas not trying to fight me, we discussed about the origin of this beautiful music, that's all. Quit attacking each other, I don't see the point. If you met 10 Azeri which were unrespectful it doesn't mean that you can blame the entire country.

[RoshenRRujj]

@mogim98 my dear, my nation is not a stupid nation . If you are not too , you have to be kinder than you were . it is first. then second , we are not an "azeri" there is no nation with this name, we are Azerbaijani Turks .. We are also Turkish People !

and Third - Turks are not afraid of something which can be done like you did .. and finally, try to be kind, as i am doing like i say .. Thank you ... Hope, you will try to be tolerant and follow the owner rules - NOT TO BRING HATE

@mogim98 CAPS IZ 4 REALZ

[XavierMammadli]

@mogim98 first of all this is azeri music not armenian. Armenia doesnt have own music. i will tell you why. i listen some "armenian" music. first was turkish, second was azeri, and third georgian music. now i ask you. where is armenian music syle? and second thing azeri people not a rest from turkish because they are turkish. they have the same origin. and you are the stupid man.

[mogim98]

@XavierMammadli don't lie too much. armenian people was allways there, where they are know. turkish come later from osman people.armenian have history and music. if azeri are turkish why you have own language and don't talk turkish?

[XavierMammadli]

@mogim98 azeri and turkish language is the same language, i know azeri and turkish that is why i can explain better. for examle: azeri says Gelirem, turkish says Geliyorum. the word is GEL (come in inglish). Only the suffix is different. it was just an exaple. all verbs , nouns are same words. we just speak in different accent

[mogim98]

@XavierMammadli ok i believe you, but i hear you have some words like russian language.is that true?because some of azeri family names end with "ew" like aliyew.how come that?

[XavierMammadli]

@mogim98 During Sovet Union when rusian people came here they changed the suffix of our surnames like "ov" "ev" this was their politics. And when we became independent country we took azeri endings like "li". But same people kept rusian endings thats why when i was a child my surname was "Mammadov", but now i changed it to "Mammadli". Is it truth that when armenians speak in favor of Azerbaijan the government take them to the prison?

[mogim98]

@XavierMammadli ok, i don't about the prison i don't leave in armenia

. maybe i could be.

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@LeaderCasar

Thanks! :)

[RoshenRRujj]

no, dont worry )) of course, i will not do this, as i have no hate , even also - all Azerbaijan dont have - now Armenian Churches in Baku are exist perfectly !- and in a very nice condition, even more our people take photos near these nice churches .. Azerbaijan doesnt have hate , if you would be in Baku only for one time - you will see that ))

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@RoshenRRujj

I hope one day to be able to visit Baku. However the fault is not of people, is of the governments. I don't like who claims to have the truth and try to spread hate among countries. Today Armenia, Turky and Azerbaijan are in this state due to their politicians. I was born in Italy so I see things from the outside and I'm not indoctrinated from the nationalists. There's no such thing as a bad country or a good country, it all depends on who is ruling that country.

[RoshenRRujj]

@sousukesagaraJKD  thank you )) i wish one time the peace will "reach" Caucasia at last ! we need it most of all ! ))

[RoshenRRujj]

don worry about KEBAB - all the world know what culture kebab belongs to ! TURKISH-AZERI !! Armenian didnt have a meal for eat )) all the history armenians made wine )) and now they do )) i hope Armenia will not die in hunger ))))

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@RoshenRRujj

It is not illogical. Did you know that Islam was spread in India thanks to merchants and traders? I suggest you to talk with an historian, he'll confirm you that merchants were the key for the develop of culture in every country. Kebab was invented in Greece around the 8th century BCE. See? If you start talking about stealing and stuff like this, it will never end. Please, don't bring hate on my channel, if you want to discuss we can make it peacefully.

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@RoshenRRujj

Sorry, I meant 18th century BCE!

[mogim98]

@RoshenRRujj YOU AZERI PEOPLE ARE POORE PEOPLE,EH?ALWAY IN YOUR COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE YOU MUST REMIND OF TURKISH PEOPLE, WHY?YOU HAVE AN OWN COUNTRY, OR YOU ARE AFRAID TO FIGHT FACE TO FACE, YOU ARE HALF MAN OR WHAT, YOU THINK TURKISH PEOPLE WILL HELP YOU ALLWAYS?THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS.AND YOU KNOW WHAT?ARMENIAN HAD AND WILL ALWAYS A MEAL TO EAT!PUT THIS ON YOUR STUPID BRAIN!!

[RoshenRRujj]

Tbilis was a rich city and that is why "helpful" georgians decided to create a dance "based on" armenian merchants )))))))))))))) it is illogical ! even , i am sorry i have to say it is MAD !!! How could you lie ? )) you know Puskin's words is really CORRECT !!! And you know that

[RoshenRRujj]

sousukesagaraJKD, merchants came to Tbilisi for trade not for dancing .. yes they can learn this dance from tbilisi, but it couldnt be spread so wider .. how could all the people - all the country of merhcnat learn one dance from one "businessman" ? it is not real !

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@RoshenRRujj

Do you have an idea of how rich and full of merchants was Tibilisi? However this is not an opinion, it's a fact that historically speaking cultures merged togheter thanks to merchants and monks (who traveled a lot and learnt from other countries). For Chinese and Japanese people was the same, so was for Italians, Spanish, French, for Swedish and Danish, I can go like this forever! For example do you know who invented kebab? :)

[RoshenRRujj]

that is why, every people from other nationalities saw that and they danced too .. Of course, it is very normal and natural process ,, but everyone has to say the reality which is exist and honest !

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@RoshenRRujj

Try searching on Youtube: "kintouri tiulyapa" and watch the first video. What you see is the stylization of Tibilisi's armenian merchants: informal, funny, expansive. It was not written FOR merchants but based on what georgians saw during that time. The fact that today is so popular is not surprising because the tune was born for entertain people during banquets and feastes. Moreover Tibilis was full of merchants from all the East area, so it was spread in a lot of countries :)

[RoshenRRujj]

oh please, be honest . look at this very fervent dance !! it cannot be the dance for merhcants !! it is very quick and passionate dance !! how could it be for merhcants ?? it is impossible !

and armenians and georgians are the nation which population is very few .. How could they spread this dance if they created this ? But the population of turkish people is almost 220 million only in the East area . They played this dance everywhere they lived and now they do ..

[RoshenRRujj]

it is a #azerbaijanian folk dane and music !! every time armenia steals something from #Azerbaijan , #Georgia and #Turkey !! you have nothing that you could say - armenian !!

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@RoshenRRujj

Shalakho is a middle-east tune so it's not Azerbaijanian neither Armenian. One day I hope you'll realize that armenians and azerbaijanis are the same people, they grew in the same area so they have basically the same cultural background :)

[RoshenRRujj]

@sousukesagaraJKD you know, the name of this dance is the turkish - shalako - it means - shala koy - put the straw - proto - turks played this dance when they were in the mountains for the agriculture . with this name there is a dance in the Central Asia,too - because they are turkish people , too ,that is why this dance is belong to Turkish Nations ))) thank you, i am sure you are informed now ..

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@RoshenRRujj

You're wrong. Shalakho was created by Georgian choreographers based on merchants of Kinto times, which of most were Armenian. So it's a Georgian dance based on (partially) armenian merchants! Don't you see the irony? I envy those times when we were brothers. I am a musician so I know how old songs and dances were born and every culture steals from others to build its music (Turks too) but it's not correct to say "steal", because music has no owners.

[RoshenRRujj]

@sousukesagaraJKD i know that georgian choreographers created shalako , but it was no in old time as you said, it was in XIX century, when georgian artists went to the St. Peter -that time they bought it . Look at song's name - what can you see ?

Then, your history is absolutely illogical - why should georgian people create for armenians. it is absurd !

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@RoshenRRujj

No, I said that it was created based on the armenian merchants who were in Kinto, it portrays the stereotype of the armenian merchant of that time, called "Kintos" (as a matter of fact, Shalakho is also called Kintouri). Then I think the kintos who heard this dance returned to Armenian and developed it in a bit different way (I heard many versions from Turkey, Georgia and Armenia, they're similar but not the same), so today we have a lot of Shalakho/Kintouri in all the East area.
