Pontic Greeks are the True Greeks

[Livin]

Afaik, based on results İ have so far seen, the Georgians no.
Closest overlap is Armenians for Pontic Greeks followed by Laz and Assyrians.



Pontus kingdom's founder, the Mithridates were Iranians/Persians related with Acheamenids. The local folks were Armenian-like natives and some Colchians (proto-Laz) to the east.

Armenians and Pontic Greeks have nothin do!!!

Genetics doesn't mean anything to me.

I have seen thousands of armenians in Greece and they are much different from us.

With Georgians and Lazs i agree.


As for the Kingdom of Pontus the elite were Persian origin and the folks were a mix of greek colonists and local anatolians(Kashi,hittites remains,leucosyri,makrones,Tzans,protokarvelian groups and other caucasians)

Armenians have nothin to do with Pontus and anatolia in general....

With assyrians there are some similarities but not the closest ethic group.

Georgians and Turks are more closer.

You are the same shit with Albanian Anthromorons and some Mainland Greek idiots who slander against Anatolian,Pontian and Cypriot Greeks and claim them to be not Greek


I doubt even that you realy are a Greek Pontian
Probably you are a Turk with Pontian ancestry who feels the need to brag about it and troll on Greeks...

It's just Nico.

[Geni]

When it comes to superiority, it is no debate that Pontic Greeks are supreme to anything that carries "Greek" with it.

Pontic Greeks were the chosen soldiers of the Ottoman's elite groups,
Pontic Greeks are the best footballers who played or play for Greece,
Pontic Greeks even today resemble ancient Greeks while modern Greeks look like Turkish children.



When doomsday comes, Pontic Greeks will reign, because no other type of Greek can even compare.

Ψευτράλης Greeks can not compare

This is absurd...

Armenians and Assyrians are closest to Pontic Greeks. The only Turks in the list are further than these two, and that's east-central Anatolian Turks.
Pontic Turks (me being also one) genetically completely different since our Turcoman ancestry gives us Siberian genetics which all sorts of natives lack, plus some other elements (like a few percentages more North Euro etc).

15% if I am not mistaken

That's pretty common among all turks, if I am not mistaken, but you should not even imagine that you are genetically closer to any Siberian nation than to any Caucasian one (no pca or personal result has ever implied such a thing)

Continuation matters.
Turks are a Siberian people.
By history, language, ethnicity, race and (decreasing) genetic continuation.

[Dimitri159]

Pontic Greeks are Hellenized Black Sea natives, their closest relatives are the Laz people. Their culture is not Greek, it's a mix of Middle Eastern and Caucasus elements.

“Middle Eastern” culture is not monolithic, so labeling their culture as “Middle Eastern” is nonsensical.

But yes, their culture is related to others of the Black Sea region. To be fair, the general Anatolian cultural element is familiar to the Greek/Balkan one in many ways. Pontic culture is still not entirely alien to mainland Greek. At least not anymore alien than what traditional Cretan Greek culture is to traditional Epirote Greek culture. The most important things that link all Greek from every region are the Hellenic identity, history and of course the Greek-Orthodox legacy.
