I have never seen an ethnic Turk who looks like an Arab? Mediterranean-shifted North Africans and Turks may have a slight overlap but it still strikes to a trained eye.
They don’t.Quote:

Ethnic Turks overlap more with northern levantines, iranics and Caucasians than North Africans / gulf Arabs / southern levantines .
For instance, I think Turks can agree that this is a typical ( not only this type but one of ) Anatolian Turkish look , and I would never look at him and mistake him for a Arab or north African .
