I just read an article about two mayors from the neighboring cities in the Greek-Turkish border, meeting in Turkey.

Classify them and try to guess which one is Greek and which one is Turkish mayor;

They are from bordering areas.. their ancestry is probably not that different.

Left is Turkish and right is Greek.
The left looks like he could be the Greek one but,if it was that obvious you wouldn't ask the question. Therefore i still say the one on the left is Turkish.

I'm going to agree with Albozfinest. Looks like the left guy is Greek and the right guy is Turkish, but it can't be that obvious.

The answer is they're both Greek (one's just been Islamised and Turkified).

The one on the left has a Balkanite look (may be a Borreby type), the one on the right seems more ambiguous.

Left one is Greek (looks typical Romanian as well), right one is Turkish.

Both could pass as either ethnicity.

Thats true but the right answer is;

The left one is Turkish, the right one is Greek mayor.

The left one looks Balkanite as the most Turkish people in eastern Thrace. The right one looks like central Anatolian with a slight armenoid look. I wouldn't be surprised if his ancestors gone to Greece from there in the population exchange.
