Is Turkey Middle Eastern or European?

[Thracian]

Definitely Middle Eastern. Turks are genetically and culturally closer to Arabs than any Europeans.

Really? Show me then where are Arabs in my TOP 100 on Global 25?

Turkey is the Middle East, the ancients called it Asia. When I was in Ukraine the sex tourist Turks were immediately recognized by pretty much everyone, they have quite a distinct look. I would say the German Turk Khedira is a good example of the uniqueness of their look--really big faces.

Most of them stand out, those who don't are pure Alpines.

German Turk Khedira

ok, stfu now

[Smeagol]

Really? Show me then where are Arabs in my TOP 100 on Global 25?

Balkan Turks are usually closest to other Balkanites but Turks in general don't cluster with any Europeans.

[Smeagol]

Lol @ Kivan thumbing down posts that point out Turkey is in Asia, not Europe.

[Dna8]

All I know for sure, is that it is not European.

[Atlantid]

German Turk Khedira

ok, stfu now

Khedira is a German Turk in that he is a Turk with a German passport... what's your point? He looks like a typical Turk, he's a good example.

lmao

Khedira is half Tunisian half German

[Atlantid]

lmao

And what do you think people in the streets of Germany think he is? Emre Can looks just like him that's who I meant, I got confused because they are both Turks (or Turkish looking) playing for Juventus.

[Kaspias]

And what do you think people in the streets of Germany think he is?

What is the relevance of claiming he is a Turk despite he is not and defending it by saying what people think about him? Why should care about him?

Should i teach you basic lexicology and perhaps some ethnicities? Khedira is an Arabic word.
