Some of them look really Bulgarian, some show too much Uralic influence. What can they be? I was thinking about Gagauz or Bessarabains but you said they aren't Bulgarians so...Volga Tatars?

[YeshAtid]

Please see again, I changed my post before you were so quick to answer! Most did not look like Tatars. But my very first impression was Italian, Armenian, Greek or Georgian.

They look nothing like those four. They show significant Eastern European influence.

I found the town they are from, but since they aren't Tatars, I don't know what they are...

[El Mero Mero]

But they are Turkic?

[bimo]

not , they aren't volga tatars , anyway they are probably mixed with tatars (not volga) and also russian and ukrainians because they are too few to marry only people of their ethnic group and because of a region where they live

[Smeagol]

Udmurts.

[bimo]

But they are Turkic?

no , they aren't neither turkic or slavic

[Smeagol]

They're really old communities so it figures they mixed

[Rouxinol]

The house decor is awful. Very eastern-looking with Ottoman influences. Somewhere over the Balkans.

It's like they were stuck in the 1980s.
