Turks vs. Georgians: Who are more European?

[BTHUN]

European identity has turned into a christian identity. It does not refer to any race anymore. Therefore Georgians are more European than Turks.

[Bender1999]

No one. Both are Westasian.

According to paul vallery (and European common sense) being European means that you fulfill 3 criteria:

-Christianity: Georgia: check Turkey: not even close
-Greko-Roman (Frankish/Byzantine) heritage/civilization: Georgia: partially, Turkey: not even close (anyone who has been to Turkey easily recognizes that its civilization is a hybrid of central Asian, levantine, caucasian and Persian)
-Roman law: common in both countries, but also common in most of the world nowadays

I think we have a winner

But i really do not understand this wannabism of many Turks in the net, in real life most of Turkish people i have met seem pretty fine and cool with what they are

Neither are european countries but here is my opinion:

Culturally : Georgians
Racially: Turks are both more European and foreign on average

-> Georgians

Racially it's Georgians too, Georgia has a higher percentage of whites than Turkey.

Since when are Northern and Western Turks more European on average than Georgians?

[placebo]

European looking Turks are more. Georgians have their own Caucasian looking but look more European than Anatolian people imo. Culturally Georgians.

Georgians.

European looking Turks are more. Georgians have their own Caucasian looking but look more European than Anatolian people imo. Culturally Georgians.

Georgians.

Georgians are culturally more European but Turks have a higher percentage of European phenotypes even though they're Anatolian???

I only said that Turks have a higher FREQUENCY of European phenotypes because they're 20 times larger in population.
