What's worse? If Asparukh was a Gypsy or a Turk?

[zarzian]

If he was a Persian/Iranian, then Bulgarians would have to embrace and accept Gypsies as their Iranic brothers, acknowledge them as kin with a common origin, and accept them as they would a normal Bulgarian.

If he was a Turk, then Bulgarians would have to admit that they're vaguely related to the people who enslaved and raped Bulgaria for 500 years without interruption and that they're less "European" than their neighbours.

Pick your poison.

And no, you can't pussy out by claiming to be a Thracian or some other fake lame bullshit excuse.

Iranians arent gypsies you imbecile.

Such a badass name.

When it comes to genetics though we do not have any Turkic influence, we are a mix of Slavs and Thracians (native Balkans)

You have small amount of mongoloid influence. But that influence also can be originated from Turks.

Like Lithium stated before, genetics prove that Bulgarians have very little Mongoloid influence, which probably shoots down the Turkic ancestry theory.

The fact that Macedonia is excluded and shows that it has less mongoloid influence proves that this map is incorrect I would not deny unde <1% Turkic influence though.

Asparukh means shining horse, asp(a) is widely used in iranic languages for the word horse, while rukh means to shine.

What amazes me even more is the actor playing Asparukh looks more Iranian than "Turkic"

If Asparukh was anything like the the Proto-Turks of the Chandman-Egiin Gol-complex, he was the furthest thing from a Iranian you can find.

Looking at the data it looks obvious the Proto-Turkics represented in physical type the last vestiges of a UP North Eurasian relic type. A funny thing is that in physical type the Proto-Turks shared more similarity to UP Europeans than what contemporary Euros did. They were not really similar to any modern Eurasian population.

Asparukh himself was the son of Kubrat-Chumbulat, an Oghur Turk. Oghurs were the most northern and barbarian of the Turkic tribes. Today, the last remaining Oghurs are the Chuvas, who unlike islamized Kipchaks (Tatars & Bashkirs) have remained true to the old gods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vattisen_Yaly

Who gives a shit? We are Slavs. The proto-Russians were Swedes. Should the Russians call Swedes brothers now?

Oh dear, the Norwegians and Swedes are part Turkish too according to this map.

Useless.

The German map in future will be even more Turkish....
