To Georgians

On topic: Turks in general are closer to some non-Black admixed Levantine Arabs but not to Saudis or Iraqis. Western Turks are closer to Euros than to any Arabs.

It depends. What do you consider Arab? In 23andme, Turks are closer to Southern and Northern Europeans than they are to Arab Bedouins, Palestinians and Druze.

Turks are closer to Europeans than they are to Arabs. Real Arabs are an isolate and are SouthWest Asian people who have nothing to do with Turks, as well they lack Mongoloid admixture that is often found, and are by all means Caucasoid who belong to the earliest proto-Semitic peoples. This type is mostly found in the Arabian Desert. Real Arabians have nothing to do with Turks.

Ok but Levantines are considered Arabs nowadays.

Turks are still closer to Europeans than to Levantines. The Druze are quite distant to Turks and other West Asians, them alongside the Samaritans. So the answer would be the same in regards to other Levantine groups, the exception would be some Assyrians who might be present, but in general the answer would be no.

Not really, the Druze are Circassians Jumblat clan are at least. They were the ruling Monarchy in the Levant during the Ottoman Empire.

Armenians Georgians Azerbaijanis etc other Caucasians are the most like them in West Asia IMO other than that Balkan Europeans. Maybe some of them are pulling towards North Europe genetically who knows.

There are myriad ancestries within Turkey, so it's pointless to make a sweeping statement on this subject. I guess those Turks who are from places such as the Trabzon area, which has many inhabitants of Greek and Laz ancestry, are more related to Europeans, whereas those who hail from places like Antakya or Diyarbakir (Southeastern Turkey) are more likely to be of full or partial Arab ancestry and therefore more akin to Arabs.

I think Georgians, Armenians, Kurds, Turks, Azeris will tend to belong in a seperate Anatolian/Caucasian group while Arabs/Levantine people belong to a separate group, while Persians I would place maybe as separate group.

Not really Arabs, Arabs because they didn't really put them into their army. Some Western Turks have Greek or partial Greek ancestry because Pontus is Asia Minor..Either that or some kind of Caucasian ancestry like Armenian or Azeri. The Georgians ( laz tribe from Crimmea ) immigrated there from North Greece also. I've heard that Turks from the Eastern side have Kurdish ancestry not Arabs.

In comparison to Arabs vs Euros in the genetic sense, Turks are closer to Europeans but they are not closer to Europeans than to West Asians such as Armenians, Georgians, Assyrians etc..

In comparison culturally, I would say Turks are closer to Arabs than to Europeans due to the same religion they share.

Keep in mind that Greeks score significant West Asian genes, so it doesn't always mean that Anatolian Turks have significant Greek ancestry, its more like Greeks have West Asian ancestry.

North Eastern Turks are closer to people of the Caucasus than Western Turks.

North Eastern Turks don't have Kurdish ancestry, My mother is a North Eastern Turk and in her city it is known who is Kurdish and who is Turkish. For example the natives of her city ( Erzurum) are called Dadash. North Eastern Turks have a better affinity with Caucasus people than with Kurds. I know 4 North Eastern Turks including myself ( half North Eastern Turk) and our genetics don't point out Kurdish ancestry.

That's not true. A user ''Turku'' who posts here did a DNA test and she is from Adana (Southern Turkey) and she does not show any Arab ancestry.
I have seen results of other Southern Turks too, they also don't show any more Southwest Asian than the average Turk.

Probably because the Turks populated the levant and there was no such thing as Lebanon Syria and Turkey. It was actually called greater Syria. The French overthrew the Turks and split up Lebanon Syria and Turkey for that reason some Turkish people ( and Armenians ) were forced to move to Lebanon and Syria who were living in Turkey to begin with.

But I don't like using the word Levantine which is just thrown around the Levant has to be the most mixed populated parts of Asia, and really the only Levantines who can honestly call themseleves as such would have to be Lebanese or Syrian people of Turkish Armenian Georgian Circassian ( maybe ) or Greek ancestry. It would mean that they're indigenous at least in the West Asian sense even if they're different ethnic groups.

I'm not saying everyone in the southern portion of Turkey is of full or partial Arab ancestry. Maybe I should've phrased it better. What I meant to say is that you can find many people of Arab descent there. I know some Turkish Arabs who are from the Hatay region, which used to be part of Syria. The French gave it to Turkey in the aftermath of WW1.

Levantines are not purely Arab.

Anyway genotype does not equal phenotype. Even if some do look Levantine it doesn't mean their DNA points out Levantine ancestry. Genetically Turks are not close to Arabs or Levantines than they are to Europeans. Turks are West Asians.

Cultural wise its different though, as I stated earlier culturally we are closer to Arabs due to religion.

How about the Greeks with partial Turkish ancestry? Do they put them in Greek army?

Btw Laz people absolutely have no connection with Greeks, ancient or modern. I didn't know that Greeks even tries to connect Lazs with ancient Greeks :) There was around 50 to 100k immigrant Laz people in Greece `till 1940s but laters they have been hellenized and disappeared just as Turkish christians.

Well but thats basically the only common thing between Arabs and Turks. So, the connection between Bosnians and Arabs are about same as between Turks and Arabs.

Also, contrary to popular belief, Turks learned islam from Iranians, not from Arabs. About 75% of Turkish muslims are sunni but most of the islamic terminology in Turkish are from Iranian language, not from Arabic.

There's no such thing as a Greek with Turkish ancestry. No Greek could have Turkish ancestry. It's because of the Phoenicians that the East Med basin has a Near Eastern ancestry that and because lot of the Western European basin survived the Neolithic migration that Southern and South Eastern Europe didn't.

Read this by American scientist Janet Crain it says that alot of the time patterns of (haplogroups E3b, G, J, I, L, N, K2, and R1; 94.1%) are shared with European and neighboring Near Eastern populations* and contrast with only a minor share of haplogroups related to Central Asian (C, Q and O; 3.4%), Indian (H, R2; 1.5%) and African (A, E3*, E3a; 1%) affinity.

haplogroup R1b3 emanates from Turkey towards Southeast Europe and Caucasia. So it looks like that would be the most likely for the majority of Turkey according to her anyway.

The problem is that SWA people absorbed proto-east african alleles during their southward expansion. Being able to distinguish neolitich SWA admixture (pure caucasoid) from Arabian SWA admixture (semi-caucasoid) is very important.

These are just your stereotypes and false beliefs, typical to anyone from Balkans.

While there is a strong criticism about the usage of nonstandard rural Turkish dialects for our series in Turkey, you come up and claim that "typical Turks" doesn't get represented in our series but only the so-called "European Turks", whatever that means.

I just laugh at your words like "Euro Turks looks good and only they becomes actors in the series. Non-Euro Turks are ugly and they cant play in the series" :(:( :rolleyes2:

Yes, religion is part of the culture but so-called islamic/orthodox/catholic brotherhood is fake. This is something proven many times throughout history. Religion doesn't connect people, this is a false belief.

It`s obvious that he is living with his own stereotypes. Just leave him be :)


There's no such thing as a Greek with Turkish ancestry. No Greek could have Turkish ancestry.
Just as Albanians, Vlachs, Lazs, there were many Turkish christians who gone to Greece in 1924 and they became hellenized laters. Karamanlides, central Anatolian christians, Gagauzs are some of them. We know that these people was speaking Turkish as a mothertongue for at least 600-700 years from the historical documents. Byzantine records also mentions about the existence of Turkish christians in 13-14th century.

Ofc the official Greek propaganda denies all of these says that 10.000 years ago, everyone was Greek. If you believe this claim, then i have nothing to say to you.

"xaxa" is top be taken with a grain of salt. For he, like many others, actually believes that they are racially Turkic when genetic proofs have resulted that they are more related to the Anatolian people than the mongoloid central & east Asians. Eventually their Ottoman & Turanist dream bubble will break. Whether they like it or not.

By the way, what on earth are you doing in Netherlands? This country does not racially or culturally belong to you.

Turks are close to other Turk people: Azerbaidschan and Turkmenistan. Then they are close to Arabs. They have nothing in common with us Europeans.

Genetically they are closer to Europeans, than to Arabs. In fact Anatolian Turks are closer to Europeans they are to Azeris or Turkmens. The Azeris are for example an Iranian population that shifted to Turkic in recent times, well the Turkmens are basically Caucasoid-Mongoloid mix, whom some Turks share ancestry with. In fact Turks have no genetic commonality with Arabs at all. Culturally you can say they share some cultural elements with Arabs and this is due to religion, however in and all their culture and genetics is the closest to West Asians like Georgians and Armenians especially, and then followed by Europeans, and to lesser extent Iranic nations like Persians and Kurds, after that Levantines and then to Arabs. If you think that the culture and genetic relationship between Turkey and Arabia is very much the same, you are off the charts, since genetics nor cultural elements seem to be shared with few minor cases, in fact they have more common with Europeans especially SouthEast Europe than they do with Arabia. Anyone who is not biased or has an agenda knows this is in fact the truth of the matter.

Thing is Turkish nationalists often identify themselves with the Great Turan and other Turkic nations such as Azerbaijan and in Central Asia. Though genetic connection among the nations is not very strong, there is linguistic and some cultural connections. I think a division can be made in resulting Arab groups, Iranic groups (including Kurds), Anatolian/Caucasian folks, North Caucasian folks (Chechens).

Guess we have another Turkish troll on our hands. Border is closed by Turkey illegally (though maybe a good thing given how they wanted to do it last time) and closed by Azerbaijan for obvious reasons. Our borders with Georgia and Iran are fully open and trade is increasing between both sides. Oh and you also have this:


"When I was in Baku recently, they showed me a 3-D topographic map of Armenia, AZ [Azerbaijan], Nagorno [Karabakh]," the Czech related. "You can see very clearly that once (and if) the Armenians cross over with Russian backing, it is a flat path to Baku. The Russians told them during the Georgia war that Georgia could just be the first stop... pretty direct threat. The Azerbaijanis are terrified of this."

From wikileaks cable.

Armenians aren't going anywhere and rather Armenian nation is becoming stronger.

Well I understand you like Turks very much as your boyfriend is Turkish, but don't shoot the messenger here. Anti-Turkish sentiment has been present in many societies, especially ones that have had contact with the Turks. This negative sentiment is increasing with increased Turkish immigration in Europe.

Closer to Europeans obviously, Turks that we know Today are a mish mash of every Ancient Migration, empires and civilizations that thrived in that region, Turks obviously share a lot with especially South East Europeans due to the Neolithic Migrations then of course it has been the abode of Roman empire and Byzantine Empire, population from the Balkans used to trade with whoever lived there before the Seljuks occupied it but even during the Ottoman empire there were big waves of Albanians, Bosniaks and Pomaks who moved to Anatolia, hence they share a close genetic Affinity with Europeans.

Stop making up things I never said. I told you specifically that European societies that have had historic contact with Turks or contact via immigration have a bad view of them. This would further impact reputation of Turks in countries with less contact. I guess you have to have a history with those people to understand the true nature of them.

"the fact of strengthening of Russian activities towards Turkey, deepened fear and phobia among certain Armenian political circles - would Russia have an attempt to "exchange" Karabakh for recognition of independence of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region. At the same time, Russian-Turkish relations significantly improved upon the negative background of relations with the USA on the one hand and European Union on the other hand. Probably it will be fair to blame Armenia in irrational attitude towards Turkey and possible Russian-Turkish relations. But in order to correctly look into politics that Russia implements in Caucasus, it is necessary to take into consideration the objective fact of dexterity of perception. What is the essential element of Moscow's foreign-political PR (for example, Sergei Lavrov's theses about speeding of regulation of conflict resolution in Karabakh), looks like serious challenge for Yerevan (due to its complicated geographical-geopolitical position)."

Turkey is a country big and diverse enough both in genetic, phenotypical, political, cultural and even mental structure to be spearate both from Europeans and Arabs. Moreover, Turks don't tend to identify with both of the groups. So my vote goes for "none".

I don't know much about relations between Russia and Armenia, but Armenia definitely has much more positive image than Turkey in a list of countries in the EU, especially France, maybe the country that is a driving force in the foreign relations of the whole union.

Europe just do not want Islam in the EU. The fact that worries is the possible Turkish interest in winning position in countries where the Turkish minority is significant. However, this strategy should be dodged from afar and Turkey should receive no piece of the European pie especially in a ways than are not tolerant to the European nations to which Turkish interests are a threat.

Turks are still closer to Europeans than to Levantines. The Druze are quite distant to Turks and other West Asians, them alongside the Samaritans. So the answer would be the same in regards to other Levantine groups, the exception would be some Assyrians who might be present, but in general the answer would be no.

Assyrians are even less Southern European in appearance than some Levantine populations, such as the Lebanese. Druze and Assyrians are quite close, the only difference is that the Druze have a slightly higher "Mediterranean" component.

The problem is that SWA people absorbed proto-east african alleles during their southward expansion. Being able to distinguish neolitich SWA admixture (pure caucasoid) from Arabian SWA admixture (semi-caucasoid) is very important.

Wait, wait. What? So the Southwest Asian component can be subdivided into two separate, subcomponents? This is important for me to know. I'm almost 20% Southwest Asian.

Ruled or occupied same thing, fact is we ruled parts of Europe, Middle East and Africa for 600 years. The Ottoman Empire is in the list of one of the greatest Empires in history.
Your Ottomans were ruling over people and tribes who weren't very advanced by cultural and technological standards. What a great achievement! :rolleyes: The fact stands that when the Ottomans tried to mess with European high cultures like the Holy Roman Empire composed of Austrians and Germans and with other states like the Venecians or the Poles, your Ottoman horde was without a chance at land and at the sea. It's not only about the battles of Vienna and the subsequent liberation of the Balkans. Remember the sea battle at Lepanto where the Holy League let your people look like a kindergarten?

We literally shattered Ottoman megalomania into pieces and it was the beginning of the end of Ottoman rule on European soil. You can relish to the virtuality that your Turkish horde ruled over hardly noteworthy desert tribes and camel dwellers but that's nothing impressive at all.



I dont see what makes Germans, Brits, Russians different from Turks. They have all played a big part in destroying other cultures. Since I am unaware of Turkish history I am inclined to say Europeans have done that a lot more than they have.
You are not only unware of Turkish history but unaware and ignorant of lots of other important events. :(

Why should I hate Turks just because some Western Euros think they are the enemy? They dont hate my enemies.
You try to sugarcoat the shame and disgrace that you have a Turkish boyfriend. It can explained psychologically.

Just to bring a correction: When plague was devastating Western Europe, Bulgaria and Byzantine together with Italy had pre-Reneisance. So, we were culturally and technologically advanced. We were just divided by internal conflicts. If we were all united and Europe had helped us (because we are less in number than Ottomans and at that time it was the most important factor in a war), Ottomans standed no chance against Christian soldiers.

Hello feuerfrei. :) I know and I'm not talking about the European tribes who were occupied by the Ottomans, you were divided and that difficulty made you weak and vulnerable for Ottoman expansion. It's the everlasting burden of the Balkan to be divided.

But your cultures were advanced and not comparable to desert dwellers, that doesn't stand to debate and I'm sorry for not being precise enough in my former post. Some Balkan people like most Albanians and the Bosnians adopted Ottoman culture but that's an other topic, a deplorable one. :(

The same can be said about the European empires. The British empire for example expanded into North America and Oceania with people who were primtive in techonological or "cultural" attributes. They tried to conquer the less advanced Afghanistan only to suffer a humiliation during the height of their empire. The Spanish and the list goes on lol.

Europeans just don't like Turks. Reputation of Turks in Europe has never been high either. And even if it was a long time ago, the battle of Vienna and how Turks tried to take over Europe is still etched in peoples' minds.
I noticed that you keep repeating this sentence once a week here.

Most of the Turkish people doesn't care about whether the so-called Europeans [who the fck they are? Europe is a single nation?] love us or not. We are not like Greece who are destined to get their salaries from their masters in Brussels, Germany OR we are not like Armenia whose nation founded by the grace of 3rd parties and we don't have masters in mother Russia unlike you.

We simply don't care! Turkey doesn't need anyone`s grace. We never needed that throughout more than millennium long history. This is a concern which belongs to petty countries like your Armenia, not our`s.


^^You think that if your ancestors could do that, they wouldn't have done it? :rolleyes2: They also tried to convert us all to Islam but luckily they didn't succeed. I thank God for giving my ancestors a strong will and faith not to fall under the pressure of the Muslim invaders
Ohh yes, we ruled you for ~500 years and we tried to convert you to islam sooo badly but we failed because your ancestors had even more faith to Jesus than the 12 disciples and God protected you against us, right?

You may continue to believe this nonsense but pls do not try to relate this supposedly as the truth.

Macedonia became part of Ottoman empire in 14th century. If Turks would have wanted to, we could have wipe your existence from earth OR if we would do as catholics did, we could burn you all alive on stakes.

If you are still Macedonian, Albanian, Greek or whatever and if you are still able to speak your own language today, it`s because Ottoman empire allowed you to be, otherwise who could have stop us from killing you or convert you all to islam in 14th century? UN, EU courts of human rights, NATO, International court of crime in Holland??? Who?

If Turks would have taken catholics of Europe as an example, you all Balkan christians would be in Mecca now praying to Allah. Just do the math, CIA backed Wahhabis converted more European christians to islam in just few decades than Turks ever did in ~500 years.


Closer to Europeans obviously, Turks that we know Today are a mish mash of every Ancient Migration, empires and civilizations that thrived in that region, Turks obviously share a lot with especially South East Europeans due to the Neolithic Migrations then of course it has been the abode of Roman empire and Byzantine Empire, population from the Balkans used to trade with whoever lived there before the Seljuks occupied it but even during the Ottoman empire there were big waves of Albanians, Bosniaks and Pomaks who moved to Anatolia, hence they share a close genetic Affinity with Europeans.
And is this different for other nations?

You Albanians are supposedly the pure blood ancient illyrians in the deepest depths of Balkan mess but we are bunch of mixed people in Turkey?


Where exactly have I said that Turks have no bloods on their hands???
I see that you have close to 1500 posts here. So, you should have already realized by now that for Armenians, there is no gray side or neutrality. If you don't hate from Turks by guts and if your hate doesn't flow through your brain everyday, then you can only be a Turkophil traitor among Europeans.

turks are turks obviously they shouldnt be mixed up with arabs as arabian is a semitic language while turkish is a turk language similar to central asian languages or other languages spoken by russian minorities like chuvans. The same it goes to the iran even more extreme as they have an own shia islam and speaking persian which is part of indo european language.

But turkey shouldnt be counted as european either. I think turks are laing to them selfs if they see a future in europe, they would far better off without europe look how long they are waiting. Russia is much more free and prosperous now deciding from the beginning they wont join the eu in the near future. they are winning new friends making their own realm of influence and their own domestic politics while turkey has always to watch their back if they might broke the eu laws or anything to imply for membership hurting their overall economic and regional development.

It could mean that some of your family is simply the "Balkanian Turk" version of our Indo-Dutch. :)

Ofcourse. Balkan Turks have a lot of Balkan influence genetically. But this doesn't go for most Anatolian Turks.

It depends. Arab is a very broad term. But in general we don't show much Arab admix and the Southwest Asian admix in Turks (which is associated with Semitic speakers) is probably ancient rather than recent. Also, according to 23andme, Turks cluster closer to Europeans (even closer to Northern Europeans) than to Southern Arabs.

if we assume the J-P58 subclade as marker of Arabic expansion, then there is some of it in Turkey.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_J1c3d_(Y-DNA)#Northern_Middle_East


Also, according to 23andme, Turks cluster closer to Europeans (even closer to Northern Europeans) than to Southern Arabs.

23andme lacks West Asian reference reference groups btw.

You should start by looking at yourself and what language you use. I'm atleast more polite than you. You think you are something important because you are backed up by some racist buddies. Let me tell you this. I don't give a damn. You guys are talking non-sense that Turks aren't real and this and when I say Albanians are real Albanians either. You all got offended and butt-hurt.

Excuse me ???

I don't know about you but I went to a Turkish high school for 4 years, I am very good at Turkish Kardeshim, I don't hate Turks neither do I hate anyone else based on their national or Racial background, I never said Turks are not real, I think you must be tripping balls right now, you also ought to read my original opinion on this topic, go back a couple of pages and u will see.

I am ready to bet you anything that I am one of the most open minded people on this forum.

It is you who is talking unsubstantiated nonsense over here.

You should also check threads where I stood behind reason and reasonable argument and defended Turkish members over here.

Some turks look a bit like Greeks and southeast Europeans, but there is crossover all over that region. Just look at the Greek threads or 'guess which' threads...Cypriots, etc, even mena, its difficult to tell alot of the time.

04-06-2012, 09:29 PM
I wonder what genetic tests have shown any Arab admixture in the Turks as for as far as I know everything points at Anatolia, Europe (the Balkans), the Southern Caucasus and to a lesser extent Central Asia.

Arab admixture in Anatolia is rather non-existent no genetic shows this. The Arabians although raided Anatolia they could never subdue it. If you compare Iraqis, Bahrainis, and Saudis who all fall into the same cluster, they highly differ from the Turks and to large extent from Levantines. As well the Arabian cluster seems to be isolated but it drifts to the Levant.

Neolitich admixture in Europe (last K12b run).

South Italy : 49.0
Sicilian : 48.4
Greece : 47.5
Central Italy: 40.8
Tuscan : 37.7
Bulgarians : 36.5
Romanian : 34.3
North Italy : 28.4
Ukraine : 19.4
Hungarians : 19.2

Polish : 14.4
Russian : 13.1
Spain: 12.8

a haplogroup doesn't show much even the map u have posted doesn't show anything in particular it is saying Turkey is rich in J2b which is also an European Haplogroup who entered Europe during the Neolithic Period.

Europeans, certainly. If Turks are closer to Arabs then Balkan peoples are closer to Arabs than we are to Europeans. We have a shared history with the Turks and many Balkanites became Turks in addition to Anatolians moving to the Balkans and vice versa.

The Ottoman Empire was in essence an amalgamation of Balkan and Anatolian cultures. A lot of Balkans look at the Ottoman Empire like it was some foreign empire when in reality we made up the bulk of its most important population who played a large part in shaping the Ottoman Empire. It's ridiculous to think otherwise just because the state was Muslim, give me a break, religion don't make a people, we do.

Yes but many cluster with Greeks, anyway their not close to Arabians. Arabians drift a little toward the Levant and not Anatolia. Yemenite Jews for example cluster with Arabian populations because they are Arabians, in fact there is no difference between my mothers tribe and Yemenite Jews genetically at all. Certainly a Turk would not be close to a Yemenite Jew/Arabian than he is to a Greek.

Honestly, I am not that familiar with Greece but I do know that a significant part of their population has Anatolian ancestry. F.e, a Greek user at ABF said that a lot of Northern Greeks have Pontian Greek ancestry. But I haven't seen a study about the Y-DNA of Greeks of Anatolian origin. If you have, please show me.

And when it comes to genetics, I don't think there is a fully Anatolian Greek in any of the projects. There are Greeks with partial Anatolian ancestry though and they do clearly show a pul towards Anatolia. There are a few Turkish Dodecad members with Pontian Greek ancestry and their genome is very typical Northeastern Anatolian. They do not show more European ancestry than fully ethnic Turks.

Those are later additions to our culture but as an origin, our culture is Eurasian and completely different from our neighbors.

Also Greeks, Arabs, Armenians and Kurds have elements from Turkish culture too but their original cultures are also completely different from us. For example, Greek language had like 10.000 Turkish words a century ago, Serbian language still has 9000+ Turkish words but as i said, those are later additions to their languages, our original cultures are different from each other.

Have sex with your dead wife — Egypt's Islamic gov law proposal?
It appears unsubstantiated controversial news reports are circling regarding the fact that Egypt's Islamist-dominated parliament has proposed a controversial law allowing husbands to have sex with their dead wives within six hours after death.
Talk of the new "Farewell Intercourse" law proposal has hit several news sources causing uproar and differing reactions.
Al Arabiya report that Egyptian columnist Amro Abdul Samea in an opinion piece in Al-Ahram discussed the new law proposal.
The British Daily Mail online, and Al Arabiya both cover the story and report that Egypt’s National Council for Women is campaigning against these laws stating that Dr Mervat al-Talawi, head of the NCW, has listed her concerns in a letter to the Egyptian People’s Assembly Speaker Dr Saad al-Katatni.
Other sources state there is no evidence of an Egyptian government 'sex with dead wife' law proposal.

If we were a part of your culture you and other Arabs would not be so indifferent or ignorant about our historical roots

We are only strong and promising allies for you ,so you can accomplish your imperialistic pan semitic panislamic fictional empire .

You have no interest in our culture ,music ,language etc..how come you say we are close to you? Calling Uygurs and Hazara's some mongoloid people, you proved you are a total stranger .So are other Arabs.
