Collectively, apart from Turkish, I can only see them fit as Kurdish.
In overall they look like a Balkan-Caucasian-Iranian mix.

Don't you see Central Asian influences? To me many look Caucasus.

Btw, may you rank them by the countries in the OP and/or state the main phenotypes? Thanks!

[Rgvgjhvv]

Double

[Rgvgjhvv]

I disagree with Blade, there's actually a lot more than I expected that could easily pass as Greek. Many north of Greece too, which for some reason is quite normal in Turks - I am not sure why. I wouldn't put almost anyone in the Middle-East, tbh. So I don't see any "Iranian mix" whatsoever. I don't know enough about Georgians/Armenians etc. to have a better idea if some/many would be typical in the Caucasus region. But maybe that would be the best fit for the group of photos.

They are present but relatively rare in the entire mix.

[simple user]

Best fit in South-East Europe in my opinion.

Iranian =/= Middle Eastern Arab.
Boy further on the left on pic 1, guy in the middle and the one on the right on second photo, some of the girls on third one, etc. would not be uncommon in Iran.

[CommonSense]

Best fit would be Georgia and the Northern Caucasus. Not sure if it's just me, but at least 80% of them have a distinct eye area that I associate with that region.
Worse fit are obviously Syria and Iraq.

[xtal]

Greek and Georgian intermediate imo. As far as I know there’s a quite sizable Circassian community in Samsun and it shows in the pics.

[itilvolga]

As a whole, Balkans, Anatolia and Caucasus are the best fit for these people.

Samsun is mostly Turkish ethnically. Caucasian immigrants are a small minority and many are mixed with locals.

All the provinces in that region of the country overlap with Caucasians.

Are they similar to Trabzon Turks?

[Tigranes]

>Trabzon

pick one

[Kivan]

Are they similar to Trabzon Turks?
Genetically, no.


Giresun için de yapsana bi tane
Tamam.

I wouldn't say %10-30 a small minority. Samsun has a strong presence of Circassians and Balkanites though mostly mixed with local Turks.

Balkan pek olmaz da çok fazla Çerkes var Samsun'da dediğin gibi. Samsunlu musun bu arada?

[Crimson Winds]

Balkan pek olmaz da çok fazla Çerkes var Samsun'da.

Merkezinde ve Tekkeköy-Çarşamba civarlarında çok muhacir var. Çerkesler kadar değil ama tabi.

[archangel]

Anatolia-Balkan-Caucasia mix

[Hungarian_master]

Pontids, Anatolids, Alpinids, East Meds and Turanids.

[Hungarian_master]

BUMP!

[Oliver109]

Alpine meds, meds, alpines, turanids mainly, best fit probably Georgia followed by Bulgaria, Romania and possibly Syria/Lebanon, also Tajikistan and northern Iran.

[Tsuin]

Meds/Turanids. Passes in Georgia,Azerbaijan and Tajikistan

[Tooting Carmen]

Mostly quite Balkan-looking bar some exceptions.
