Turks from Trabzon area and Northeastern Anatolia have very less or none Eastern Eurasian admix

[ralf94]

Turks from Trabzon and Northeastern parts of Turkey have a very tiny percentage or none of Central and East Asian admixture because these areas of the country were never conquered and inhabitated by the Seljuks in opposition of the rest of Anatolia who was part of the Seljuk Empire. Infact Trabzon and closer areas of Northeastern Turkey were part of the Empire of Trebizond. But but despite this, I think it is quite ridiculous to consider the inhabitants of these areas not real Turks just because they do not have a percentage of admixture from Central and Eastern Asia. Because not all of Turkey, as I wrote before, has been inhabited by Turks from Central Asia, but rather, it has all been inhabited by the Ottoman Turks in fact I consider the Turkish people descendents of Ottoman Turks rather than Seljuk Turks. Ottoman Turks, like the modern Turks, received an influx depending on the region they inhabited. Trabzon and Northeastern Turkey was inhabited by Anatolians, Greeks, Romans, Goths, Byzantines, Laz people, and finally Ottomans. So, at the end, i consider modern Turks from Trabzon and Northeastern Turkey being like a mixture of all those peoples.

Let me know what you think

We can't generalize the region, there are many different ethnicities in all parts. You can find 4 villages in 1 km with all different ancestry. What we exatly know is that we have overall much more greek, armenian and laz/georgian ancestry in that region, especially trabzon and east of it. But laz region is easier i think, it's mostly laz between "of" and "hopa".

No idea.

Infact i forgot to mention that the area is inhabited by Caucasians too. Yes i can't generalize but i was mostly focusing on the fact that why the Turkish people from that area have very less or none Central and East Asian ancestry.

Nobody cares about the non turkish ancestry of trabzon turks. They are more patriotic than many turks although that they have mostly laz roots. And turks love them too. They are proud people who defend their home against terror loving donkeys. Btw many times i herad turks arent native in anatolia. The only „native“( i am against this description) people in anatolia are laz.

Overall, yes but you can find pure turkic villages in trabzon, too. I don't know well but afaik the area is a mess of ethnicities.

In Fatsa, as i read it, the area was inhabited by Cimmerians, Pontic Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Crimean Goths, Turkomens and Ottomans. So i think the common ancesty could be predominantly West Asian and Greek, with some admixture from Central Asia, Eastern Europe and Italy.
