    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.

    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.

    Europeans, obviously, as Turks are a European people themselves. That is unless you don't consider Balkan peoples to be European.
