    Georgians. Many look pseudo-Slavic and some look Balkan.

    I think there are more Turks of European heritage than Georgians.

    Seriously? None of them are Europeans, so this question is null.

    I think both populations are of mainly European extraction, but the large Turkic admixture in Turkey outweighs similar ones in Georgia. I'm aware of the variant haplogroups and linguistics of the Caucus but the same is true of the Basques and Finns (except perhaps the haplogroups point) and I mainly judge European-ness on appearance and phenotypes. Besides, the DNA of Georgians is not far removed from other Europeans. Still, I'd regard a good swathe of Turks as European.

    Neither group are of European extraction. Some Turks are partially because of assimilated Balkanites.

    depends but some of both groups can pass. I think both groups have indo European admixture so this may be why some look it and other do not. Not sure. Not very familiar with that part of the world to be honest.

    I disagree here. I think people of the Caucus are indeed European. Hell, we allow them into our World Cup qualifying groups

    Remember the archetype of the Caucasian race is the Georgian ethnicity.

    Georgians look pretty European to me. Geographically they're native to an area considered to be part of the geographic continent of Europe.

    I'd say Georgians look more Euro on the whole.

    If you're speaking culturally, that is for them to decide. However, they are genetically West Asian.

    Georgia is actually a Eurasian country.
