What percent of Turks can pass as typical Europeans? Please answer poll

[Sikeliot]

I'd say that around half could probably fit in various Balkan countries (on the contrary I do not find Greeks any more Turkish looking than Bulgarians and Albanians).

Precisely. Saying "Europe" in such a sweeping way is pointless. Probably the majority could pass in Greece - 50-60%ish - while 20-40% could pass across various places in Southern Europe and the Balkans to varying degrees.

I just updated title as "typical European"

So majority can't pass as typical in Greece or any European country..agreed?

Saying "typical European" is meaningless. As I said, most could pass in Greece, with smaller but still significant numbers elsewhere in Southern Europe and the Balkans.

Thank you. My thoughts exactly.

I didn't consider about 25% of Greeks as typical European...When we exclude those atypical 25% Greeks, majority Turks would be out too.

[Sikeliot]

Whatever.

Not sure what issue you take with what I said, but most mainland Greeks look fairly similar to other Balkanites.. if there is any difference it's that they look slightly more "Med", but still.

As both Illyrian Warrior and I have said, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A 'TYPICAL EUROPEAN'. Each people and nation differs from the next, often very substantially (e.g. Austria versus Italy, Ukraine versus Romania etc.)

If you exclude Pontic and Anatolian Greeks as well as Cypriots, it also removes most of the "exotic" people from the Greek population, and the rest are not going to look Turkish.
