@Rattivik @TwtZey Scientificly at western Turkey (mainland for Turks and where Kurds don't live) population is heavily closer to eastern medditerenean and balkan.Scientificly even greece or bulgarian populations are closer to western Turkey more than middle east or even Azerbaijan.
@WasimbZ37368@TwtZey I have never said we look anything like anglo saxon.Middle eastern groups has either Arabic or Iranic admixture and anatolian Turks have none of these. Calling anatolian Turks middle eastern is the same thing as calling byzantine was an middle eastern empire.
@die_vorsehung@perittologos@Globalstats11 Core territory means people who live on that land were head and successor of that empire. Core territory means whose ancestors were geneticly main part and successors of that empire.Some one should take your phone and stop you from sharing your opinions.
@Ltbtsvegeta@TwtZey Iranics and Arabs are main group of middle east.Turks don't have Arab or Iranic admixture but Iranic and Arabic groups represent so called middle east.

@Rattivik@TwtZey They are insecure about getting called middle eastern.And that is a understandable situation because when you don't have Iranic or Arabic admixture it is not right to get called middle eastern.
@die_vorsehung@perittologos@Globalstats11 %95 of byzantine populations embraced Islam and Turkish culture meanwhile %5 are remained byzantine.Those who you call expelled are the ones who remained byzantine or greek. My kindly apologies but you literally know nothing about this topic.
@Northerner_07 Anadolu yarımadasında yer alan ve Türk dil ve kültürüne sahip kişiler=Türk.Günümüzdeki anadolu popülasyonuna Turkish denir.Aynı zamanda kullandığın Türk görseli kadar cope bişey yok lakin iranic ancestrysi olmayan ve görseldeki gibi kahverengi olan bi Türk göremezsin.
@die_vorsehung@perittologos@Globalstats11 Geneticly same people.What do you think,Byzantine people just evaporate?Even Mehmed II declared himself as kaiser-i Rum which means emperor of romans.Also it is a known fact modern Turks ancestors were ex byzantine citizens, yet culture and lamguage is different.
