Turks or Armenians: Which group is Whiter? Which group looks more European?

[FinalFlash]

I also had a discussion with an Armenian before who claimed Armenians aren't West Asian genetically but European. (no hate).
Can somebody explain to me why Armenians score higher East Med than West Asian on Eurogenes? That's pretty uncommon for the region they live in right? (Sorry no expert in the history of Armenian people)

They don't score higher East Med than West Asian. They score around 40% West Asian and 34% East Med which is typical for our region. Btw, "East Med" and "West Asian" are umbrella terms.

This article, entitled Armenians have a high genetic affinity to ancient Europeans, affirms that there is evidence for a genetic affinity between the ancient people of Europe and the Armenian Highlands. The article was published in February, 2015. Here's an excerpt:

We find in Armenians and other genetic isolates in the Near East high shared ancestry with ancient European farmers with ancestry proportions similar to presentday Europeans but not to present-day Near Easterners … Our tests show that most of the Near East genetic isolates ancestry shared with Europeans can be attributed to expansion after the Neolithic period.

Anyway, what do you guys think about my new signature?
Total Badass, IMO.

Yes badass

Turkey is far more diverse in terms of phenotypes while Armenia is far more homogenous. The base of the Turkish population is the blending of indigenous Anatolians (mostly Greeks but also Kurds and Armenians) with Central Asian colonists from the Eastern Caspian, so in a way, Anatolian Turks are technically tapas, since they're a mix of Caucasoids and Mongoloids, although in terms of features the former definitely outweighs the latter. In Turkey you can probably find some Northern European phenotypes, more so than in Armenia, and the number of Euro-looking Turks is greater than the number of Euro-looking Armenians because Turks outnumber Armenians worldwide even if you account for diaspora. However, on the other hand, there are a lot of Levantine- and Iraqi-looking Turks as well, even if they don't have recent Kurdish or Arab ancestry, and they're probably darker than typical Caucasian Armenians. So if we account for Anatolian Turks and Caucasian Armenians as a whole, and average out all phenotypes, they're basically the same.
