Call him Necip Sütçü from Mersin and everyone would say Turano-Med Alpinid. And I don’t even know what last one means.

[Permafrost]

Turanic type (of the north pamirid sub-variant I'd say) with some east-alpine influences. I'd say he'd fit best on the western edges of central Asia, though I'm not erudite enough to make a specific guess. Doesn't look like the most typical Armenian.

These are his parents, by the way:

Oh, I just learned that this year, he made a film, where he plays the main character, on one of the greatest filmmakers of all times, the Soviet Armenian Serguei Paradjanov. I’ll try to watch this film!

The Paradjanov Scandal or the Tumultuous life of a Soviet Artist:

Everybody should watch for example Sayat Nova or the Colour of Pomegranate (1968) an ode to Armenian culture and history, as well as Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965), on Ukrainian Hutsul culture, both films being made by Serguei Paradjanov. Those are some of my favourite movies, they are so poetic!

I must admit that is a handsome dude.

Alpine/Pontid/Turanid? No really sure but I would say a blend of those elements.

[Faklon]

The Color of Pomegranates is epic.

He has such aura, his eyes are really striking, and actually, you look like him. :)

The Color of Pomegranates is epic.

Indeed! No one should die without watching Sayat Nova or Shadows of the Forgotten Ancestors! It would be too sad.
