DNA tests cannot determine one's ethnicity, they can only estimate it.

I think he plots completly within South Slavic average, and dont have any real Turkish ancestry.

Thus his complexes over and over again.

The Rurik family has strong genes :cool:

On an interesting note, there was a genetic study done on individuals living in Gammalsvenskby (Zmiivka) in Ukraine, a village of Estonian-Swede settlers. It was found that the inhabitants are genetically closest to modern day Balts, despite being Swedish culturally and linguistically.

I dont know why your Bosniak grandparents after they moved to Turkey remain ghettoized and didnt mix with ethnic Turks.
That is how it is. You cannot change past, but can influnce on future.
You can find ethnic Turkish woman so your children be half genetic Turks.

I again state there is no such thing as "being genetically Turkish". All the genetic groups in Turkey are equally Turkish as long as they respect Turkish values and identify as Turkish.

As bosniak in turkey you are probably turkish but in Austria if you were a turk with grandparents from turkey you still would be a Ausländer foreigner maybe your situation is comparable to germans from eastern europe who were deported to Germany after world war 2

Yes, and many of them voted to relocate back to Sweden in the 1920's and the Swedish Riksdag allowed this. Today most of the residents have fled since the Russian invasion too.

Do you want our opinion?

There are two clusters of Turkish: Balkan and Anatolian Turks. I accept both as Turkish, but I don't accept every Turkish citizen as Turk. They are Turkish in civic sense not in ethnic sense period.
