[Onur]

What's their population number?
Maybe you don't even know but there are Crimean Tatars in Greece too. Some of them expelled out from Crimea during 1860-70s and some expelled out by Stalin.

They are known as Urums. They are orthodox christians and they gradually migrated to Greece between 1920-1950s. Around 50k of them settled in Greece. Most of the so-called Greeks of Crimea, Georgia, Ukraine were Turks, their sole connection with Greeks was being adhere to Istanbul patriarchy since 15-16th century.

Just like the orthodox people of north east anatolia.

wrong.
They are Crimean Tatars, the subgroup of the Turks of Turkey.
The Turks of Turkey are descendants of the various Turkic groups. Such as the "Balkan Turk, Karachay, Balkar, Nogai, Tatar, Karapapak, Azeri, Turkmen, Manav, Yörük, Tahtacı, Avshar Turk, Terekeme etc..." all of them are Turks (Turkish). Crimean Tatars are just one of these subgroups.

@tu_veneno Tatars in Turkey are Turkish .

[Onur]

Tatars in Turkey are Turkish .
Actually, Tatars are northwestern Turks while the Turks of Anatolia are southwestern Turks but our dialects are close to each other, so both groups mingled within each other for centuries and mixing was always common between us. They just use a different dialect than us but it takes no more than few months to get accustomed to it for both sides.

It`s like someone from Vienna migrating to Berlin and speak/act like Berliners in short time. It can be that nice and easy.

Especially the Yalıboyu Tatars. Their dialect is something between Oghuz and Kypchak. Even some linguists consider their dialect as Oghuz.

It is funny that Russians embraced their own Tatar look too much they think its a part of Slavic look and they think Tatars look Slavic, but actually not..
only they are heavily mixed with Tatars themselves..:)

[Arbërori]

Some indeed do, while Russians most definitely do not look Turkish/Turkic.

[Sarmatian]

Oh really? Do you have any evidence to support such a claim? And by evidence I mean something more solid than that 'Scratch a Russian and you'll find a Tatar' crap vomited by some French retard.

[Pontios]

One could ask, are Azerbaijanis russian and turkish or what? They claim there Russian, yet they speak Russian and Turkish, wtf

This is exactly the case in Russia.

They absorbed 10s of millions of Tatars during late Tsarist and Soviet era, now they think like Tatars have a typical Russian look :)

[archangel]

lol vast majority of russians are either Türkic or finno ugric,we can say taht russıans from north west russia heavily finno ugric in genetics,while those from ural and other parts of the region is Türkic

This was said by Putin himself. Furthermore its a common saying in Russia.

Absorbing is not the same as Russification, I doubt Russians would want a Turkic element to them. :wink
Speaking of absorbing, you know damn well who you absorbed in Turkey, Bulgarian in denial.

[Sky earth]

Most Crimean Tatars live in Turkey right?

[Siberian Cold Breeze]

ahahaa sevindim o zaman ..

[Sarmatian]

This was said by Putin himself. Furthermore its a common saying in Russia.

Since when Putin is a viable source in anthropological discussions? And trust me, this saying is not very common and in some places you can get beaten for saying such a nonsense.

The Mongoloid percentage here is really quite small, leaving only slight intriguing traces here and there, similar to Finns. There is the occasional recombination where the phenotype pops up again - also similar to Baltids. These people look pretty european overall.
