Is it because you say so? Of course it contradicts that you say, it clearly does actually :). It says that 5 STR's were picked from the many. Who would make a research based only on 5 STR's? It is mentioned that several ones have been made, I don't think that 5 means several ones.

One has to be really dumb to believe so.

I noticed the opposite, honestly.

But then again, Turkish Cypriots are recent colonists (1980's) from various parts of Anatolia and Thrace, so it might make sense.

Greek Cypriots look Greek for the most part, though there is a Maronite population on the island as well.

Now it's possible that your definition of European is someone who looks like a Ukranian and possesses the cultural characteristics of Danes or Swiss. In that case, Greek Cypriots are not Europeans. But otherwise, they are classical Europeans and defenders or European culture and civilization.

You are arguing semantics. This is typical of people who lack arguments.

Joseph Capelli is back to strike hours after losing an argument because of no proof or valid points. Bravo.

Cypriots on genetic plots are halfway between levantines and Sicilians/Greeks, and close to Sephardic Jews

I'm a student, plus your grammar makes me believe that you've no education. Neither you have proven anything by the way. I got facts, what do you have?

Neither balls, nor brains. Typical terrone.

^LoL keep dreaming bro.

as far as the Maltese discussion, Maltese people are going to cluster identically with western Sicilians (Palermo, Agrigento, etc) because that's where they originally come from.. the only exception is the ones clustering more northern due to recent British ancestry.

Anyway, I don't consider Cypriots to be European since they do not genetically cluster in Europe.

They do cluster with Greek islanders though.
