Actually it's not Turkish. It is an Armenian food, some of the Balkan states also had it in different forms and different recipes at the same time. Those predate even the ancestors of the Ottoman Turkish empire. This is again, part of the genocide. After committing the actual murders, the culture is stolen all good things are now claimed to be Turkish. They did this also to the Greeks, Assyrians, and some of Balkan states.

"Borek" is definitely Turkish, of central asia origin. You are conflating irrelevant things. Not everything you see in Turkish culture is "stolen" from some other culture, Turks roam a huge area in 3 different continents for thousands of years, they teach learn and adapt, what did you expect? It is getting really tired of seeing whenever something remotely Turkish is mentioned someone jumps with these.
Feel free to downvote more or post more revisionist history. It is not even remotely turkish, but like most "turkish" food and drinks, it was stolen from the cultures they attempted to destroy. Truth is downvoted these days.
Well, if you have a pinch of evidence, please enlighten us.
