'esheg' is actually Turkish

'esh' is Armenian

With that said 'eshi eh' is cleaner Hayeren.

Anyway, it's all what sounds better upon delivery.
For example:

'PepsiAddict eshi eh'

or

'PepsiAddict eshag eh'

I'm partial to the latter. For some reason insults sound better in Turkish.

Do you think Turks got Esheg from Armenian, or was it already present in Turkic languages?

I can't say for sure, but judging from their track record of borrowing from other cultures (and then calling it unequivocally their own), I'd say the former is true.

Most probably. It would be difficult to find essek at central asia.

This is true.

It is well known that the eshag population of Central Asia migrated in hordes to the west. A large majority of this population has settled in Asia Minor (aka "Anatolia" by the eshags).

Yeah, I needed that question answered, thanks. Maybe donkeys weren't that popular in central asia either, Asia Minor was donkey town :P
