THE REAL TURKISH PEOPLE ORIGINATED FROM TURKISTAN IN CENTRAL ASIA, AND HAVE CENTRAL ASIAN FEATURES AS YOU WILL SEE IF YOU VISIT TURKEY. THE OTHER THING YOU WILL SEE IF YOU VISIT TURKEY MY DEAR MR G.M., IS THAT MANY TURKS HAVE EUROPEAN FEATURES, SOME ARE FAIR, SOME RESEMBLE GREEKS ETC. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT YES SOME TURKS AND GREEKS ARE RELATED, THE TURKS WHO BECAME MUSLIM FOR WHAT EVER REASON BUT WERE OF GREEK HERITAGE. DO YOU FORGET THAT THE JANNISERIES WERE MADE UP OF GREEKS AND NOT TURKS. SO MY DEAR UNEDUCATED FELLOW, IF YOU SEE SOME PHYSICAL RESEMBLANCES BETWEEN SOME TURKS AND GREEKS, THAT IS BECAUSE SOME TURKS ARE GREEKS AND NOT BECAUSE GREEKS ARE TURKS. LIKE I SAID, THE TRUE RACE OF TURKS ARE FROM TURKISTAN AND ARE CENTRAL ASIAN AND LOOK IT. BY THE WAY, IF SOME TURKS LOOK EVEN A BIT BRITISH, THEN DON'T FORGET GALATEA WHICH WAS SETTLED BY CELTS IN PREHISTORY AND THEN RUN OVER BY THE OTTOMANS MUCH MUCH LATER AND INTERMARRIED. AND DON'T FORGET THE CRUSADERS WHO ALSO INTERBRED WITH LOCALS. SOME TURKS LOOK A BIT EUROPEAN BECAUSE OF THIS. DON'T GET ME WRONG, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH LOOKING OR BEING CENTRAL ASIAN, BUT GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE YOU VOMIT NONSENSE HERE.
