Pasinler or Basean (Turkish: Pasinler; Armenian: Բասէն, romanizedPasēn; Georgian: ბასიანი, romanized: basiani; Latin: Phasiani; Greek: Φασιανοί, romanizedPhasianoí; formerly Hasankale and Hesenqele 'the fortress of Hasan'), is a municipality and district of Erzurum Province, Turkey.[2] Its area is 1,134 km2,[3] and its population is 27,055 (2022).[1] It lies on the Aras River.

It is located 40 kilometres (25 mi) east of the city of Erzurum and is the site of Hasankale Castle (sometimes called Pasinler Castle).[4] It was the birthplace of the Ottoman poet Nef'i.[5] The old name "Hasankale" could be based upon the Aq Qoyunlu ruler Uzun Hasan or upon Hasan the governor of the region in the 1330s or after Küçük Hasan, grandson of Coban, who attacked the town in 1340.[6]
