Classify Laz girl from Turkey and where does she pass?

[Kamal900]

many levantines can pass as transkavkaz and kurd though especially syrians

Yeah, but she's more common in transcaucasia and eastern Anatolia than in the Levant. I mean, I myself can pass for Laz and other peoples in west Asia, but the average phenotype among my people are more similar to other MENA groups than to the west Asiatics.

it depends on the person it seems but in general levantines dont differ much from us except that they are more east med while we are more caucasus . additionally levantines have an arabian shift (kurds have a little pashtun/tajik shift too) . if I remember right your gedmatch results are very west asian like more than arabian etc.

Hmm, she looks more transcaucasian or Kurdish than Levantine for me.

Yes, but I don't know. I think she could more easily pass in Lebanon than in Georgia. When I visited Turkey, I heard that the Laz people had pale skin and were sometimes blonde-haired.

she is on the atypical side for a Laz woman . thats why siyendi picked her to begin with

Yeah, many Levantine Muslims tend to have Arabian admixture and high frequency of the J1e Arabian clade in contrast to the Christians, Druze and some Muslim groups like the Alawites and myself are genetically much more northern. Arabians have high basel Eurasian genetic component which is why they and the Egyptians cluster the closest to the ancient Natufians than the genetic isolated groups of the Levant due in having more western Asiatic genetic components coming from Anatolia and Iran.

No wonder why Siyendi posted her ))
She is atypical for Laz.
Armenoid, pontid, med mix.

[Ziveth]

Armenid. Could pass in Levantine countries.

[Sikeliot]

She doesn't look so much Levantine but more Assyrian, Armenian, or Iranian.

[Odin]

Armenoid + Med. Pass in West Asia.

You must not listen to MENA myths. MENA people including many from Turkey, are all darker featureds so when a ethnic group has 10 percent lighter people (like these from Kavkaz) they create a perception like they are all like Swedes, and MENA folks worship them when they are from same religion (whateva the religion is). Why you think certain someone is so worshipped in Turkey and by some Mena? anyway OP girl isnt the typical for sure but..
