Sure, very true.
Source? How do you "know" ?They are however a minority overall.
I live in Turkey from the very beginning of my life and i dont see how different they are? I dont watch tv much but those people that i see and hear about, arent different from the people i see around. Just better looking-lucky metrics ones.But in serials they tend to be the majority.

I wouldn't call Turks white but I wouldn't call them brown either. They're truly the in-between area of the two.

The ultimate nail on the head. Modern-day Turks are a mixture of Balkan, Caucasian and a smaller archaic Central Asian component, and predominantly resemble their neighbors more than anyone. Whoever thinks Turks and Greeks look substantially different from each other has never set foot in either country. Eastern Turkey is compromised of the Kurdish minority as well as Arab migrants. It's not representative of actual ethnic Turks in Anatolia. Turks who look MENA have actual MENA admixture (Levantine/Persian). Oghuz Turks have a genetic and linguistic origin that has nothing to do with the Middle East.
So it's obvious that race is a social construct and has no basis in actual scientific reality. If white in fact means of European descent then we are talking about roughly a third of Turkey here (either full or partial ancestry). If I came to Islam and learned Turkish, does that make me a white man who later converted to the Turkish race? No.

Turks are lighter because most likely of Balkan and North Cacausian admixture, whoever thinks otherwise is really delusional and is wrong on the head.

Seems people other than Greeks have an interest in this conversation.
In my experience Turks look like a mix of people from Iran and Turkmenistan/
