West Asian?

My personal experience while traveling in Turkey was that Artvin people had much more blue eyed/blond people than any other region in Turkey. Especially the remote villages in mountains.

Here is a map of light eyes as you see Lazona has the lightest in Turkey.


And here is a sun irradiation map of Turkey,where again Lazona has almost same level of irradiation as Britain, while other parts of Turkey are very sunny and dry.

What do you look like as a Georgian?

People from these regions are heavily Armenoid in look regardless off their pigmention

You can find many light pigmented even heavily Nordid mixed Kurds..

And interestingly for a small country, Georgia has variation too, it seems western Georgia the region close to Turkey has higher percent of light eyes..Why is that?

No. Natives of Thrace and Western Anatolia are the most "Euro-looking"/lighter people of Turkey on average.

Both Blacksea and Thrace can be lightest but not Western Anatolia.

Because in Caucasus skin tone or eye color does not correlate with north/south, but mostly with west/east. Western or Black Sea Caucasians are Pontids, Eastern Caucasians are mostly Mtebids.

Thanks for the info

This guy is Laz, from NE Turkey, he has a biggest nose in the world. And he looks absolutely European. So big nose does not mean non euro phenotype.

Mountainous Dagestan is the most Euro HG admixed part of the Caucasus. They can score 25% North_European.

I mean, if you are one of those Turks who have like 45% Balkan or Greek DNA then yes but I think Georgians are more Euro shifted than native Anatolians

What makes you think that Georgians are more euro shifted than Anatolians?

More like mtebid+ armenoid/iranid in Kakheti and some parts of kartli.

No. Adjara is in contact with Turkey, they are not the most depigmented in Georgia, as you are trying to assert, and even more so in western Georgia, the most depigmented are the Imeretians, Megrels and Guritsy are the regions that do not contact Turkey. Western Georgians are not pontids, but dinarized pontids, that is, pontids subjected to mountain influence. And no Armenoid is the most common anthrotype in Georgia, this is idiocy, this anthrotype is more common in the southeastern part (for example, Tbilisi), in those regions where historically many Armenians, Kurds and others lived. And this does not mean that even there are more than half of the Armenoids. Most Georgians are mtebids, pontids and a mixture of pontids and mtebids. And the fact that the Georgians are similar to the Eastern Turks is completely nonsense. The same Laza living in Turkey in pigmentation may be similar to Georgians, but they are more graceful than we are. Lazs living in Georgia have broader faces.
