Except for the number 2, all of them pass in Europe

How would you classify them??

[TheMaestro]

Gökay Güney looks like south slav + even central

[Alano]

I am not the best Classifier but i will give it a try ;)

1. Dinaro-Med(he is passable in the Balkans)

2.Asian Alpinid-Med maybe with a bit Turanid, looks Anatolian/West Asian(Fits best in Turkey and Azerbaijan)

3.Dinarid+Gorid(Could pass in the Balkans)

4. I checked some other Pictures of him, where his Phenotype shows some Turanid tendencies

I am not 100% sure, how to classify him, but i would say Pontid/Cappadocian-Med+Cromagnid with slight Turanid.
He fits the best in Turkey, and is also passable for other Turkic Groups(Azeri, Balkan Turk, Kumyk, Crimean Tatar)
5 Alpinid+North-Pontid(Could pass in the Balkans)

6. I can see Dinarid influences, the other component could be Gracile-Med(but i'm not sure)
He wouldn't stick out in Southeastern-Europe/Balkans.

[Kamal900]

Ahmet Yılmaz Çalık kinda looks like Marmara, lol.

[Kamal900]

Not a single one can pass for a Palestinian or Levantine in general.

[FinalFlash]

3 I'd say.

[Kivan]

3 I'd say.

How would you classify ?

I also want to say 4. 3 and 4 mainly. I'm not too good with classifications but number 3 has a Dinaric/brachy look about him where I can see him passing for one of us. 4 looks Pontid imo.

1 looks strange. I'd never guess what he is. 2 looks like the poster child for the quintessential Turk. When I look at him from the side he looks visibly Asian admixed to me. Turanid probably. 5 looks like a typical Balkan person and Emre looks Mediterranean and can easily fit in Italy methinks.

Many Armenians can easily pass in Turkey to me, i have an Armenian origin Turkish friend who live in istanbul for generations and she looks plain Turkish

I agree. A large chunk of Turks do have phenotypical overlap with us yet you also have many strange faces that look foreign to me such as the first footballer posted above and the guy who plays in Dortmund, Omer Toprak.

I think Hakan Balta is kinda of a robust Dinarid looks more Balkan

[FinalFlash]

Possibly, but he has something more 'southern' about him. After taking a closer look, he actually looks somewhat Greek so I guess he isn't too odd looking. That Omer Toprak though lol

Hakan Balta is just Med with Cromagnid influence. I think he pass fine in most of regions of the country. Ömer Toprak is probably Roma gypsy.

people exotify the shit out of ömer toprak for some reason . I dont say that it isnt possible he has gypsy mix ...it very well could be . but he is not nearly as exotic as people make him out to be

2 and 4 would most easily pass as Mexican.

I think he do. Depending on the angle it's quite visible.
