MPs from Istanbul, Turkey

[Tooting Carmen]

This one cannot pass in Greece:

Although there are some who cannot pass in Greece or anywhere else in Europe, the majority of these look like a Southern European-Middle Eastern hybrid, but with enough of the former to pass across Southern Europe and the Balkans. Anyway, I do hope this lays to rest your constant claim that the Lebanese are Whiter than Turks. (Actually, now I think about it, the Lebanese politicians I have posted elsewhere on this forum have a similar pigmentation to these Turks, but their facial traits are usually more Semitic and less pan-Southern European).

These people look Greek because they look more or less like a combination of Balkan-Anatolian... none of these people look "Middle Eastern" in a typical sense.

Anyway, Istanbul is the whitest part of Turkey.. try something from the east and you'll see a difference.

Maybe, but it is also the most populous part of Turkey. But since you asked for it, here is the city of Van, near the Iranian border:

Those look more distinct (more Armenoid), but one or two of them could be Balkan. I guess you could say the Balkans is somewhat a genetic continuation of Anatolia except with influence from the north.

Something like that.

Something like that.

I mean, I guess Turks look more European than one would think. I doubt many of these people would be called "Middle Eastern" in the US, but I don't know what they'd be called..

They're a Southern European-Balkan-Middle Eastern hybrid, which both geography and genetics prove. Even so, the percentage who could pass north of the Pyrenees, Alps and Danube is still in single figures, though that blonde woman I posted could easily be English or German in fact, but even for Istanbul she is very much the exception and not the rule.

The city of Kars, near the Armenian border:

Definitely less Balkan looking although 2 of the 3 pass (the first man has Turanid influence).

[Kalimtari]

some of them look Balkan influenced, majority looks untypical for Balkans, too Anatolian
