Orangeplup I think your ancestors were either Armenians or Georgians who converted recently and took up the Turkic identity. This clearly what seems to be the case based on your genetic results, and the Turkic is rather very minor and might indicate such a result, this is not attack on your ethnicity:p. but it also proves that a large number of Turks are just Anatolians who shfited culture and absorbed some Turkic elements. Congrats:)
I think if anything it shows she has a lack of Balkan admixture present in other Turks and is thus more native to Anatolia and without recent Balkan input.
Converted recently, are you serious!!!I am sure my family were Muslims for centuries and still there is no proof that I have recent Armenian or Georgian ancestry, there seems to be a strong affinity but that would be natural since all Turks are not that different from Armenians. I mean I guess many Armenians in the beginning probably intermingled with the original Turks. For sure we don't know of any recent Georgian or Armenian ancestry, we always knew ourselves to be Turks. I can trace back my ancestors to about 5-6 generations back. I remember reading somewhere that the people of Erzurum were Muslim even before the Turks came because of the Arabs that came to Erzurum, I guess since the people of Erzurum were already Muslims they easily accepted The Turks as the rulers therefore, less troops were needed in that region meaning less Turkic input.
Who said the other Turks have Balkan admixture?? The normal Anatolian Turks are not that different from me. Turks who have Balkan ancestry usually know it.
Turks are not genetically Arab at all, they have a better affinity with the people of the Caucasus.
Who said I was completely med?? Yea I have med admixture as all Turks and people of that region but I was never completely med. Though I don't know why the med admixture doesn't show in this test?Quote:
anyway I thought you were more mediteranean, how is that?
The point is since, we dont have many samples from your part of Turkey, it's hard to judge if your family is from fully Armenian/Georgian background and freshly converts etc.
But since you can go back like 6 generations, you are just a Turk. You might have also similarities or some clusterings with Armenians/Goergians since these countries are the neighbourhood countries of one of your parents city. So this is also not a big shock.
This calculator probably only means the mongoloid part, actually I am not sure but you can see my 23andme results, I scored 2.69% Asian and around 5% Asian with Eurogenes and Dodecad projects:
