Folk Dances of Turkey

I never pretended to be your brother; I would be ashamed to have. Fact is my ancestors settled the region 600 years ago. I am biologically different than you of course. Same time as Ottoman beylik took Turks to Balkans for first time, my ancestors settled in valleys at Giresun-Trabzon border.

I didnt say you are ethnically Armenian. You aren’t. Genetically you are Mesopotamian-like just as Armenians are.
Here an autosomal result from a guy like you.
Nothing Hellenic.

Do you imply you don't have any Pontian in your family tree, and all are direct descendants of Central Asians?

First of all it would be a shame for me to have even a close genetic impact with a Chinese turkotatar like you.I would have probably killed my self.

You claimed Pontians origins if I remember well and after you changed it to steppe Turk warrior.


As for Pontians genetics I never said in my life that we are greeks.We are mostly native anatolians with strong Iranian and Greek elements.

There are Pontians who score great amount of Greece and there are Pontians exactly like my mother who looking greeks rather than Western Asians.

Do you think that Pontians are all the same?

There are many phenotypes among us.And not every Pontian is full Western Asian person.

There are people from my father side were they all looking Anatolians and Caucasian’s and from my mothers side the majority looking Hella Greek and Italian with typical Med Faces.

As for Armenians they are completely different ethic group.The closer ethic group with us are Lazs.

The folk dance of my region in Turkey is Horon.

this region was inhabited historically by South Caucasian (Colchian) tribes.
then Indo-Europeans came, especially Greeks and brouht their culture. This is mixed Helleno-South-west Caucasian folk culture.
Turks came in the region in the 16-17 th century afterthe Trebizond empire fell

Take your Kavkaz culture and Armenoid noses out of my country.

This map isn’t very accurate, forcexample Kirsehir: the people know halay, but Karsilama and Kadik oyunu is more common. My parents cant halay, but my father is very good and well known among our family and friends for his Kasik dance.

Yes turkey has orchestra but many turks like more other music. And classical music(i think you mean sth like mozart, bethoven or bach) is more european music, even many turks like it and there are orchestras. So it is understandable that turks has another music culture...
