Is Turkey Middle Eastern or European?

[Smeagol]

Turks are not close to Arabs, they are not close both genetically and culturally.

Turkey is genetically a mix of Europe, Anatolia and Central Asia. Culturally still mostly Central Asian.

Western Turks closer to Greeks and Eastern Turks closer to Caucasians. Except their East Eurasian admixture.

Why do Americans like to speak without enough knowledge?

Genetically Turks are closer to Levantine Arabs than any Greeks.

[Kaspias]

Kaspias is native Balkanian whose ancestors were captured by the degenerate Greek-admixed Ottoman Fracticides. Their healthy boys were taken for homo joy and for the Janissary corps. The nice ones of their girls also filled harems.

Yet there was still a problem... They were Orthodoxes worshipping icons, eating all sorts of trash they were finding (pork etc..) according to Ottomans.
Then then Ottomans lured them into conversion with incentives such as tax breaks and the prospective of getting state office, thus becoming first class citizens.

They did...

And the only reason Turks and Greeks have any affinities at all is because of the centuries-long Turkish rape and kidnapping of Greeks.

Turks and Greeks are genetically two very different populations. You should see results which are abundant on TA.

Message to Turks: Trying to swarthify Greeks won't make your people White.

Turks might also be closer to Amerindians than to SSA yet doesn't mean cluster.
Beside, Cypriot and Cretan Greeks and some around are closer to Lebanese or Syrians than the Turks are.

[lameduck]

Turks are distinct from Middle easterners in all aspects culturally, geographically and to an extant phenotypically.

To answer OP question , Turkey is Eurasian.

It's European part is Balkan, not Southern Europe, and its much more significant Asian part is northwest Asian not Middle Eastern. Turks are more Asian than European, but with some European admixture and Middle Eastern Religion.
