Which province of Turkey has the lightest population.

[DarkSecret]

Its a secret only in your mind. Remember after jet downing, your great leader was saying its Russia who must apologise to Turkey then he apologised himself
When you dream your dreams must be achievable and realist if not you see result

Yeah that's Davutoglu's policies made us embarrassed. And he was Turkic.

I often heard that the Laz were the lightest Turks; blonde Laz are not an uncommon sight. It's funny because their neighbors, the Hemshin, often have mongoloid features. Both peoples grow and produce tea.

Hemshins are muslim Armenians, no mongolid really.

If my memory doesn't betray me, I'm pretty sure I read this information in my guidebook when I visited Turkey: "In northeastern Turkey live the blonde Laz and the mongoloid Hemshin. Both peoples cultivate tea."

Yes both have tea fields but they are not really mongoloid? There are some blond mongoloid photos on the net though.

Probably İzmir or somewhere in Black Sea. I was in İzmir and Zonguldak, there were a lot of blonde and blue-eyed people out there. İstanbul has had a massive amount of immigrants from the East but I can say in parts like Kadıköy or Beşiktaş most people are light-skinned.

Yes I love Kadıköy and Beşiktaş.

Hemshin are Muslim Armenians.

The "mongoloid" people you're talking about are probably Chepni Turks from Giresun and Trabzon.


here are some of them

Turkish actor (from Giresun)


Turkish boxer (from Trabzon)

I also think true "Iranid" is very rare in West Turkey. Most people there are East Med.
North East part are more Caucasid and Pontid.
Interesting, that North East Turkey is the most fascist and nationalistic.
How it became that, Laz are more patriots of Turkey, than real Turks???
